    I’ve been going to Forest for 60 odd years and I can’t think of any player who did more for Forest than Robbo did. Outstanding talent.

    I still remember the day that Martin and John came to train with us at the Becket school not long after Martin signed for Forest. Watching their ascent into football folklore has given me indescribable joy as a lifelong Forest fan.

    For those of you old enough to remember the Anglo Scottish cup back in the 70’s I’ll never forget going to watch Forest play Orient at Brisbane road . My mum picked me up after school and we drove to my uncles in Stratford and set off to watch the game . Obviously a West Ham fan and watching Orient when West Ham wasn’t playing I looked forward to my first evening game , must have been about 12yrs old ..this was the start of the great Forest team and I’ll never forget John Robertson’s first half display . Orient had a right back called Bobby Fisher and Robertson turned him inside out and back again it was embarrassing for Bobby , I felt embarrassed 🙈 and I was only watching , in fact the mauling of Fisher by Robertson was so severe that poor Bobby never appeared for the second half . Not knowing at the time not only was I witnessing a fantastic player and a wonderful team And what they were going onto achieve I’m not even sure if Clough and Taylor were the managers at that time but what I do remember is that poor Bobby Fisher spent more time on the seat of his pant than he did on his feet . You don’t have to support a team to appreciate when you have seen a great one ...you will never see another team like Forest that achieved what they did those days , times and managers have long gone but the memories never fade 👌🏻

      I've read that Clough believed winning the Anglo-Scottish Cup was what kickstarted Nottingham Forest's success when he was manager. Most players don't win any medals or trophies so winning an admittedly rather obscure trophy gave the team a taste of what it's like to win the big prizes. What Clough and Taylor achieved back then is unlikely to be replicated.

    • @brianoreilly239
      @brianoreilly239 2 роки тому

      European club football was in the doldrums in the 70s .Teams like Bruges, Malmo Borrussia Dortmund were in European Cup finals . English club sides then were hard and well organised and if not that technically good this could win European Cups for them. Forest were a functional side with one or two decent players ,they were certainly not a 'GREAT' side by any stretch of the inagination. O'Neill claiming Robertson was the BEST player in thhe world for FIVE years at the time when Maradona, Platini, Zico , Socrates, Falcao , Kempes etc were playing is just utter nonsense.
