From 1953 to 1957 Herbin played at Cavigal Nice. Professional, he was eighteen years old (1957 ) at AS Saint- Étienne - it was his signature at OGC Nice really just a formality. But coach Jean Snella and the longtime talent scout Pierre Garonnaire Herbins convinced parents that young players at the Verts ( "The Greens " is the ASSE for their club colors in France ) do not have to automatically take on the substitutes' bench; so Roberts decided mother with the words " Tu seras un Vert, Roby! " ( " You'll be a Green !") that her son should go to Saint -Étienne. The 1.79 meter tall and 74 kg center half was in fact now a regular player. Among Stéphanois and remained for 15 years until 1972.

His last game for AS Saint- Étienne in the Division 1 he graduated, however, until 1975, when he was the coach of this club long ago: before the last game of the season - the club had already decided as a master - he was persuaded by his players, nor once aground in the green jersey. The -budgetary Libero Christian Lopez admitted willingly his place for the obviously very popular trainer, and Herbin played by not only the 90 minutes, but he also scored the last goal in the 5-1 in the Stade Geoffroy Guichard against AC Troyes.

And in 1997/98 he was responsible for les Verts along with Pierre Repellini a third and final time. His mother was right: He was indeed " a green " has become - with the skin and hair.
