Very sad news on the passing of our greatest ever player. Rest well Robbo and have a tipple with the gaffer!

RIP - what a player. I was lucky enough to be around at the time he played. Was arguably the best player in Europe at the time. Very sad day.

100% in agreement! The best I ever saw in the Garybaldi...

Sad news RIP Robbo.

Never seen anybody come close to him. I guess I never will.

Terrible news today.

I’m too young to have seen him play but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate what he did for this great club.

RIP Robbo

OMG just heard this … I’ve been in the Christmas vacuum.
Gutted.
Saw him play many many times.
Often debated in my head whether he or Stan was the best player I’d ever seen for Forest, but only Robbo inspired me to play the game as a young boy.

Sadly that’s three miracle men who have left us in but a couple of years.
That makes me all too aware of my own mortality and yet the memories they made take me back to that teenager again, keeping me forever young.

Thanks Robbo.

That's beautifully put. As well as what he achieved on the pitch,for me he represented what ordinary people could achieve. Inspirational.

I put this on another thread but I will put it here as well:

I consider it an absolute privilege to have seen the majority of Robbo's 500 odd appearances for us home, away and abroad.

And when I say privilege I mean privilege.

He looked like a homeless man, a tramp, he smoked (even at half time) and he drank. He was short, fat and he had less pace than a Shippo's carthorse.

But give him the ball at his feet and he would skin any full back on the planet and dump them on their backsides. And he did it week in week out for years.

A true genius in every sense of the word.

Thanks Robbo for all the brilliant memories.

I will never forget you.

RIP young man.

Always had time for people. Good man and brilliant player. The best.

Man Utd had "George Best". Nottingham Forest had "The Best"
