An `assist` for the winning goal in one European Cup final for Nottingham Forest and scoring the winning goal in the same competition the following year is what he wiĺl be mainly remembered for as a player but he was also one of these entertaining `tanner ba` players Scotland used to produce that fans loved to watch. He was also a successful coach working with Martin O`Neill.
RIP.

So sad, didn`t look like a footballer, but boy, he could play.
So much talent, might have failed to exploit his potential had it not been for Brian Clough.
Not your average Sunday League player.

In his autobiography Clough wrote: "Rarely could there have been a more unlikely looking professional athlete... scruffy, unfit, uninterested waste of time... but something told me he was worth persevering with and he became one of the finest deliverers of a football I have ever seen."
He also wrote: "If one day, I felt a bit off colour, I would sit next to him. I was bloody Errol Flynn in comparison. But give him a ball and a yard of grass, and he was an artist, the Picasso of our game."
Clough was idolised by Robertson, who said: "I knew he liked me but I loved him. I wouldn`t have had a career without him."
Thoughts and Sympathy with all Family and Friends .. RIP John
