I can’t remember her name. Maybe Shirley or Kimberly. I think it was to give his side of the story after a no show at a charity event. I think there was a mix up or something & a few folk felt let down so he came on and set the record straight. Must have been at least 10 years ago. Quote

A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Sorry to hear this. Has been a sobering year. Spending so much time apart from family, makes you realise how precious the time we have is. Condolences with the family. Quote
Hearts1975 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Gutted for him. Stay strong Robbo, thoughts are with you ♥️ Quote
The Real Maroonblood Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 My thoughts are with you Robbo at this extremely difficult time. Take care. Quote
whodanny Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Condolences to the Wee Man and his family. Quote
rabthejambo Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 John Robertson is a Hearts legend. But that's not as important as being a good and honourable person. Robbo is both of these things but especially the latter. My thoughts are with all of the Robertsons but especially John at this terrible time in their loves. Quote
Kalamazoo Jambo Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Sending warm thoughts and best wishes to Robbo and his family. Quote

Dave McCreery's knee Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 To have been a teenager in the 80’s and 90’s watching Hearts in a great period in our history and having Robbo as our idol was a great privilege. How I miss those days. Have met him several times since and he is a gem of a guy whose friends and family clearly mean the world to him. Best wishes and sincere condolences to him and his family.

Mister Dee Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Sending best wishes to Robbo and family. As others have said, even outside of football he is a lovely guy, & I hope he knows how much he means to us. Quote

Morgan Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 His account was Sally followed by the number of goals he scored against the Vermin. Keep your chin up, John. G Quote

Jambo 4 Ever Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Not that it matters but does anyone know who it was who passed away? Quote
Deevers Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 All the very best to the wee man. Grief us a huge debilitating emotion and it takes time to come to terms with it. Take all the time you need John. Quote
Glamorgan Jambo Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I remember Robbo saying that while he was doing the commercial job for us he was staying in his sister's spare room through the week as his wife has a business in Inverness and that was where the family home was. Anyway thoughts and best wishes to him and the rest of the Robertson family. Quote

EH11 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 All the best to Robbo and his family. The love and support of others is some small help when going through bereavement and there is a lot of love out there for JR ❤️ Quote
4marsbars Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 This article is behind a paywall but you get a few free reads so might work for anyone who's not gorged on the Scotsman recently. It's about how Inverness chairman and Robbo got Neil McCann on board. What strikes me is how humanely Scott Gardiner comes across. He's got my respect, for sure. Robbo's clearly valued, and that's good to know. Heart warming. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/inside-story-of-inverness-cts-pursuit-of-neil-mccann-as-club-insist-hearts-legend-john-robertson-is-not-leaving-3146594 Quote
