Remembering Robbo

A special tribute to John Robertson, the man Brian Clough described as an artist with the ball at his feet - the Picasso of our game.This episode includes an exclusive interview with John's friend and former Nottingham Evening Post journalist John Lawson, who highlighted Robbo's skills to Cloughie in the early days at Nottingham Forest.Robertson never forgot John's help in putting-in a good word for him with Brian Clough and when the time came to write his own autobiography, he asked John to help him. The result was the brilliant 'Supertramp' - the title being a reference to Clough's tongue-in-cheek descriptions of Robbo's appearance. Whatever Clough said about how John dressed and disliked shaving, the Miracle Manager knew that his left-winger was a genius who could perform on any stage in the world. "No other player has given me more pleasure than watching John Robertson," says John Lawson, who recalls how Robbo thought his career was going nowhere - until the arrival of Brian Clough. In this episode, you'll also hear host Marcus Alton pay tribute to his boyhood hero. You can read more tributes and memories on the tribute website, brianclough.com.
