Well, that's an absolutely gut punch on a Christmas morning.
For a few years in the late 1970s, John Robertson was one of the best footballers in the world. An absolute legend.
In the words of the late Brian Clough: "What is the point of giving you the ball when there is a genius on the other wing?" (Question to Martin O'Neill about John Robertson, 1979.)

And it should also be stated for the record that he was front and centre on the greatest football song of all time. ('World in Motion' and 'Three Lions' can get fucked.)
