John Robertson (footballer, born 1953)
John Neilson Robertson (born 20 January 1953 in Uddingston) is a former Scottish footballer. He played for Nottingham Forest when they were at the peak of their success under manager Brian Clough, notably scoring the only goal in a 1–0 victory in the 1980 European Cup Final against Hamburger SV. He also played for the full Scotland national football team, scoring the winning goal against England in 1981 and against New Zealand in the 1982 FIFA World Cup. He has since moved into coaching acting as assistant to his former Nottingham Forest teammate Martin O'Neill. Robertson's last role was assistant manager at Aston Villa between 2006 and 2010.
==Nottingham Forest (first spell)==
Robertson had played for Scotland at Schoolboy and Youth levels and for Drumchapel Amateurs before joining Forest in May 1970, making his debut for the team in October 1970. Although he was an infrequent member of the first team as a midfielder up to 1975, and was on the transfer list when Clough became manager, Robertson became a key player as a left winger under Clough and appeared in 243 consecutive games between December 1976 and December 1980. He scored the winning goal, a penalty, for Forest in the 1978 Football League Cup Final replay against Liverpool. He also scored the winner in the 1980 European Cup Final against Hamburg and provided the cross for the winning goal in the 1979 European Cup Final, scored by Trevor Francis, against Malmo FF.
Brian Clough, Robertson's manager at Nottingham Forest, was quoted as saying
''"John Robertson was a very unattractive young man. 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."'' In his autobiography Clough noted that ''"Rarely could there have been a more unlikely looking professional athlete... (was a ) scruffy, unfit, uninterested waste of time...but something told me he was worth persevering with."'' but that ''"() became one of the finest deliverers of a football I have ever seen – in Britain or anywhere else in the world – as fine as the Brazilians or the supremely gifted Italians."''〔pp, 152, 155, Clough, Brian (1994), ''Clough: The Autobiography'', Partridge Press〕 Robertson's captain at Forest, John McGovern, later said that ''"John Robertson was like Ryan Giggs but with two good feet, not one. He had more ability than Ryan Giggs, his ratio of creating goals was better and overall he was the superior footballer"'', whilst Forest coach Jimmy Gordon rated Robertson as a better player than Tom Finney and Stanley Matthews, claiming that he ''"had something extra on top"''.
