John Robertson, who has died aged 72, was once described by legendary Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough as "the Picasso of our game".
From BBC
Robertson was languishing at the City Ground until Clough arrived in January 1975, releasing the brains and talent that had been hidden behind the Scot's often unkempt appearance to magnificent effect in Forest's great team of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
From BBC
Robertson was also at the centre of the bitter split between Clough and his long-time managerial partner Peter Taylor in 1983.
From BBC
Clough never forgave Taylor, who was by then managing Derby County, for signing Robertson on a transfer with a fee to be decided by a tribunal, without informing him of his plans.
From BBC
To Clough's great regret, the rift was never healed before Taylor died in 1992, aged 62.
