Ah John, what a player - R. I. P.
A boy from Viewpark who went on to win the European Cup with Nottingham Forrest in 79' and 80'.
His captain in later years described him as being 'a bit like Ryan Giggs except he had two good feet and was better'.
His manager, Brian Clough, decscribed him as being 'scruffy' but added, he was 'the best deliverer of a ball that he'd ever seen'.
Rest easy Robbo.

Another brilliant winger born in Viewpark.
John grew up a Rangers fan but he described his 5 years at Celtic as his best days in football.
That was surprising considering he won 2 European Cups with Nottingham Forest.
RIP Robbo.

I've just this minute read a post on SM by Didier Agathe in response to the passing of John Robertson.
It is a post filled with love, humilty and respect.
