Playing a pivotal role in one European Cup success is usually enough to go down in a club’s folklore, but John Robertson ensured his place in Nottingham Forest’s history by doing it twice.

The former Scotland winger, who has died aged 72, set up the winning goal in the 1979 European Cup final before scoring the only goal in the following year’s showpiece for Brian Clough’s side.
