Robbo: Welcome To Nottingham - Nottingham Forest - A0, A1, A2 or A3 Print

A new portrait of The Red's legendary left winger and scorer of the 1980 European Cup winning goal - John 'Robbo' Robertson - lifting the Cup to the crowd with 'Welcome To Nottingham' slogan. 

John Robertson is, quite simply, Nottingham Forest’s greatest ever player. A quiet, unassuming Scotsman with a magician’s left foot, he was the creative heartbeat of Brian Clough’s legendary Forest sides that conquered England and Europe at the turn of the 1980s. Born in Uddingston, near Glasgow, in 1953, Robertson was initially dismissed as overweight and sluggish — but Clough and his assistant Peter Taylor saw what others missed: a football brain of extraordinary subtlety and a delivery that could unpick any defence.

From the left wing, he rarely sprinted; instead, he glided — hypnotising full-backs, ghosting past them with a feint or a drop of the shoulder, and delivering crosses that seemed drawn by geometry. He scored the winning goal in the 1980 European Cup final against Hamburg, calmly slotting past the goalkeeper to seal Forest’s second consecutive continental triumph. That single, nerveless finish encapsulated his genius: understated, decisive, and utterly world-class.

Clough famously described Robertson as “a little fat man who never runs fast but always beats people.” It was the ultimate compliment — recognising that footballing intelligence and vision could outshine any athleticism. Fans adored him for it. To this day, he remains the living embodiment of Forest’s golden era — a player who could, with one swing of that left boot, change the course of history.

Ideal for framing.
