| Bio | Aucklander Jeff Robson was one of the most internationally successful New Zealand badminton players. He was one of the outstanding New Zealand sportsmen of his day, excelling at both badminton and tennis on the international stage. He captained the national team that competed for the Thomas Cup, the leading international badminton trophy. Skilled in more than one racket sport, he also captained the team that contested its tennis equivalent, the Davis Cup. Robson held numerous national and international badminton titles and later became a distinguished administrator of the sport, serving for 25 years on the International Badminton Federation's council. His devotion to sport led to an MBE in 1976 for his services to badminton and tennis. He had a long dual career in tennis and badminton. He won nine national badminton singles titles between 1948 and 1960, seven doubles titles and four combined doubles. Outdoors in the other racket sport, Robson played Davis Cup for New Zealand for three years, won the national singles title in 1949, 1952 and 1956, the national doubles title on five occasions and the mixed doubles twice in addition to frequent appearances on the international circuit.
