Lord of the Wing – John Robertson 1953-2025

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We pretty much thought the same
Just as Cloughie stated
“A Picasso of the game”
Malmo, Madrid, legend created

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 John Robertson stayed wide
Forest red flew from his feet
Venom crosses whipped inside
Full backs awed in retreat

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Two European Cups he won
League titles, Wembley nights
For the showman, his work is done
Greatness carved under floodlights

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Now the touchline feels still
His passing has softened the roar
Scotland, Forest, the score is nil
One last touch – Encore

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 number7
