Such sad news. The one Forest player I enjoyed watching. Fitted like a glove with O’Neill here, gave us some great times. RIP.

Has any of the clubs channels recognised this ? The Instagram account is active but no mention. Very disappointing again if not.

There really is no excuse. Several players who worked with him are still involved with the club. This is probably where not having people support the club working for them hinders us.

Forest, Derby, Celtic and Wycombe have all put pieces out on their socials.

Rip robbo...legend x

[Bert]

A massive part of why we had success under MON. 

 

RIP Robbo. 

[Ric Flair]

Up there with one of the most influential backroom staff we've ever had including the likes of Walsh, Balsom et al.

 

Rest in peace big man

Football then seemed more accessible, more understandable, certainly less commercialised and overhyped and far more enjoyable. O’Neil and Robertson’s tenure here has to be one of our most enjoyable.

The club need to put something out pronto. Part of such a great era for us and such a respected coach and servant in his time for the club. 
It’s sad that Villa have put something out but we haven’t yet, the Leicester City I know would have been pretty quick on these things but shows the internal rot and decline at the top. 
RIP Robbo 

[Wortho]

What a fantastic player and a great crosser of the ball. Loved watching him.

R.I.P

[Katy]

Maybe those of us who are going tomorrow could sing his name or something, seeing as the club can’t be arsed to mention him. 

[Leicesterpool]

73rd minute applause 

[Vlad the Fox]

A big part of such a great era. They brought together a team of players who had grit, talent and plenty of heart and a determination to prove themselves as well as a great bunch of characters. Such an easy bunch to fall in love with. 

[Pita]

RIP Robbo

Sad news r.i.p

[Jaspa]

An unsung hero. Critical to MoN's success here. As much as I dislike Forest there is undoubtedly an inert connection; MoN, Robertson, Morgan, plus Pearson born in their city. 

[PAULCFC]

RIP....At this sort of time it would be nice to let club things go......a great player for Nottingham Forest and a great assistant to MON.

[MonarchFox]

RIP

 

Top coach and top man

[Lionator]

Used to work the bar in the hospitality bit at Forest as a student, and served/met him a few times, was always very kind and generous with tips too, he could also DRINK. 

[Phube]

Integral part of the legendary 1996-2001 team. 
 

And still not a peep from the Club! Quite shocking! 

[Blueman1967]

Great coach, and partnership with Martin O'Neill, RIP

[pkonline]

Behind every great manager is a great no 2. Robertson a classic example

10am the next day and nothing. 

 

Compare some of the crap they put up as well. 

 

Really really poor and someone needs their arse kicking 

[ScotFox1]

Very sad loss for the game.

Great support to MON 

Scored the penalty at Wembley to beat England!!

Legend in the truest sense of the word!!
