Robbo was the best player I’ve ever seen in a Forest shirt. My only regret is, footage was so rare in those days, and some of his best stuff will never be seen again. So many fantastic memories.

What a player nothing short of a legend. "No pace over 10yds, couldn't tackle a fish supper but that left and right foot? Genius!🔥🔥 -Archie Gemmil

An awesome talent. I grew up following Forest and Robbo was always my favourite. He was mesmerizing, even on the terrible pitches they played on back then. Look at the mud and sludge he played through in some of these clips. Imagine how many tens of millions of pounds he would fetch nowadays. He'd be a multi-millionaire.

His technique of misdirection back then was quite unique and beautiful to watch. It turned out that it's similar to what many modern players have been doing it only with more speed and more crossover. I'd love to see them bring back the jersey design with the logos of the tree on the left and the antlers on the right (the season they got promoted). It was very classic.

Great video, thanks. Fantastic skills from the man from Viewpark. Wonderful inspiring words of tribute from the Great Brian Clough. Robertson was the catalyst of so many moves for that great Forest team that achieved so much.

What a player! Saw John Giles talking about him. He thought he was the only winger he had ever seen who could run the game from that position, who could make the play, like a centre mid does. He rated him extremely highly, and picked him in his best ever Scotland XI

@robinstevenson1098 Жыл бұрын

Aye! Jinky maybe slightly better winger, but Forrest were so charged when Robbo got the ball. He would do it himself but, just get the ball in! Everyone’s waiting. He got the ball in.

I was so lucky to grow up watching this team and when i saw Robbo run out,i knew we would win,always had time for supporters as well,great man and will always be a legend,there should really be a statue of him outside the Gorund.

I’m only 35 but my dad who is 77 talks about John Robertson as one of the greatest the game has ever seen. Unfortunately, I never got to see him. My dad said, when he was at Forest and part of that great team he was the best in the WORLD at that time. My dads a bit old school but he reckons if he was playing today he would be worth billions in today’s market. He must have been some player.

Time and time again you'd see him draw two players in, beat them both, then pop a vital cross or pass in. It was like having an extra man on the pitch when he was in the team. Absolutely priceless.

Lui era fantastico, talento puro ma sempre al servizio della squadra....aveva un dribbling favoloso ma non ne abusava mai....e quando crossava o tirava in porta era arte pura. In Italia il giocatore che gli somigliava di più è stato Roberto Donadoni con il grande Milan.... giocatori così non ci sono più...ora giocano x se stessi non x la squadra.

17 minutes and not a camera angle that made him my favourite watching english football every saturday (as most scandinavians interested in sports did back then) - He should be on the same side as the camera, kinda filming him from behind, advancing slowly, with the same foot lazily lagging behind him towards the opponent, then bib bop boom he was past the guy and delivered the pass. He was my favourite dribbler of all times, no latino showoff but a working class kinda cool dribbler.
