John Robertson
Winner. Congratulations pip. What tipped the scale?
I am John Robertson
I won domestic and European honours. 1st Division title, 2 League Cups, 2 European Cups
I played for my country. Scotland
I didn't score many goals but I did score some important ones. Winner in a European Cup final, Winner in a League Cup Final replay, Winner for Scotland in a 1-0 defeat of England
The fans liked me. Nottingham Forest fans voted me the best player of all time (twice)
I have a connection to the progressive rock scene. My autobiography is entitled Supertramp
I caused a rift between a couple of friends. The fee over my transfer from Forest to Derby caused a rift between Cloughie and Peter Taylor.
I never traveled far in my club career. Forest to Derby and back.
I wasn't known for my good looks. In Cloughie's own words "John Robertson was a very unattractive young man. If one day, I felt a bit off colour, I would sit next to him. I was bloody Errol Flynn in comparison."
I was voted best player in the history of one of my clubs. Should I be scared of who finished second? Stuart Pearce (Psycho)
I played alongside a couple of RUFC characters. John McGovern and Archie Gemmill
Asking a question about kippers for breakfast is not only a clue to my country of origin. Scotland and "Could we have kippers for breakfast" a line from Breakfast In America by Supertramp
Nice one, CAM. The last clue was a good’un. I got the Scottish connection but would never have got the Supertramp link. I was searching - fruitlessly- around Wolves (Robert Plant) and Arsenal (Pink Floyd)
Good going, Pip!
I was going to include the actual line but the problem today is if you enter any song line in Google you'll have your answer immediately. Naturally you would still have to make the Supertramp link or you might have got sidetracked with the Breakfast in America theme.
I thought the Archie/McGovern clue was the one that might give it away.
I was going down the Liverpool route at first then changed to Forest with the link to RUFC and then Scotland plus knowing JR had only played for Forest and Derby. Good clues tho, keep them coming only another x moths before we play again!
With the "prog-rock" clue, I was thinking Carlton Palmer (as in ELP), but the only time Wednesday won owt (League Cup), he was out suspended
