Sad news, great player. The story about Clough getting the Forest team to salute a log going down the River Trent after he went to Derby still makes me smile

Sad news. Great memories of him putting goals on a plate for various Forest strikers. Great penalty taker too if I remember correctly.
RIP John.
RIP John.
One of my favorites alongside Dave Thomas in the 70s.

A really brilliant player in an age when fans could still see themselves in gifted mavericks like Robertson.
That Forest side was marvelous. They looked you in the eye and didn't blink. Their record against Paisley's Liverpool is testimony to that. As great as that Kopite side was, their fans were reduced to "Are you watching Nottingham" chants during those "great Anfied European nights" of the early 80s. Got right under their skins in ways maybe only Chelsea did 30 years later.

Proper winger who could cross the ball with either foot. One of my favourite players whilst growing up in the seventies

Proper footballer, the gold standard for wing play.
A bit like the stye of our Johnny Morrissey we had in the 1960s/early 1970's - deceptively quick footed & could pin ball a cross beat a defender with his quick footwork ....
Watched forest come to goodison and win 3-1,great team and great manager.
Does anyone see West Ham staying up I can’t see it , another question do you think we would have stayed up the last few years if we was in Bramley Moore and not goodison ?
Goodison shaking to its foundations deffo helped.
