John Robertson (Footballer)
John Robertson, the celebrated Nottingham Forest and Scotland winger, has died at the age of 72 on December 25, 2025, after an extended illness.
Robertson is widely regarded as one of Nottingham Forest's greatest ever players. He was a key figure in the club's consecutive European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980. In the 1979 final, he provided the cross for Trevor Francis's winning goal, and in 1980, he scored the decisive goal himself. A world-class left-winger, Robertson was known for his dribbling and was the creative force behind the Forest team. Brian Clough, the Nottingham Forest manager, referred to him as the "Picasso" of the game. During his time at Forest (1970-1983), Robertson also won the First Division Championship and two League Cups. He also earned 28 caps for Scotland, including a penalty against England at Wembley in 1981.
After retiring from playing, Robertson partnered with Martin O'Neill as an assistant manager at Wycombe Wanderers, Norwich, Leicester, Celtic and Aston Villa.
