Down to earth brilliance. No prima Donna stuff ever on show just the fantastic talent to control a football while taking fullbacks on their outside. His goal to beat Hamburg was a perfect piece of match-reading, gile and skill. Having uncharacteristically cut inside he nonplussed their defence by not taking an extra stride but deceiving and adjusting to strike the ball sweetly, imparting the necessary spin required. Footballing brain to match the skill.

Yes Honcho ..quote ' I didnt give Robertson any of his extrordinary abilities to manoevre and deliver a ball , all I did was offer him the chance to use them ....Cloughie '. Known as ' Tramp ' at one time Cloughie made him throw away a pair of suede shoes he had spilled cooking fat on and encouraged the dressing room to mock his appearance . 'Brian and Pete (Taylor was ahuge fan too ) saved my career as I was wasting away at Forest with a nice easy life until they took me apart '. RIP .

I think it was Ian Bowyer who Cloughie said to, I want you to win the ball from the opposition & pass it to John, who can actually play football.

Great player, very deceptive, if he didn't score
and create as many it's likely he wouldn't get a game for his work rate. But his delivery and shooting really was top notch. A bit like David Beckham without the glamour and two good feet instead of one. Sad news. |
