Skotský křídelník Robertson strávil v Nottinghamu prakticky celou kariéru. S Forest vyhrál v roce 1978 hned po postupu z druhé ligy anglickou ligu a v následujících letech výrazně pomohl týmu k triumfům v Poháru mistrů evropských zemí, dnešní Lize mistrů. Ve finále proti Malmö v roce 1979 nahrál na jediný gól Trevoru Francisovi a o rok později proti Hamburku rozhodl o úspěšné obhajobě vstřelenou brankou sám.
„Odpočívej v pokoji, Robbo… náš největší,“ rozloučil se dnes Nottingham se svou hvězdou, kterou označil dlouholetý trenér Forest Brian Clough za „Piccasa našeho sportu“.
Za Skotsko nastoupil Robertson ke 28 zápasům, byl na mistrovství světa v letech 1978 a 1982. Po skončení kariéry působil jako asistent svého bývalého spoluhráče z Nottinghamu Martina O’Neilla v různých klubech, na příklad v Aston Ville.
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Nottingham Forest legend and dear friend, John Robertson.
A true great of our Club and a double European Cup winner, John’s unrivalled talent, humility and unwavering devotion to Nottingham Forest will never ever be forgotten.

Backcourt mate Stephon Castle added 19 points of his own, with Victor Wembanyama chipping in 19 points and 11 rebounds from the bench. Harrison Barnes and Dylan Harper combined for 27 points and nine rebounds.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLeading up to Thursday afternoon, the biggest storyline surrounding this matchup was whether the Spurs, having beaten the Thunder twice this season, were worthy of the "rival" label.
