First Team Squad
There is a great photograph of the Forest Team celebrating with the Cup in the Changing room after the 1980 match

Everbody looks happy except Robertson who has a big scowl on his face and is looking elsewhere

Peter Taylor is at the front with a big grin on his face becasue he knows exactly what has just happened

Basically in the lead up to the match a local company Fossit and Thorne had been advertising a competition day in day out on Radio Trent where the winner would receive Robbos Shirt from the Cup Final

They had done a deal with Robbo prior to the match to buy the shirt off him for a significant amount of money

This advert had been running for weeks and at some stage Cloughie must have heard it

First thing Clougie does when Robbo takes his shirt off after the match is grab the shirt and tell Robbo "I'll be having that - thank you very much !" and walks off

The photo shows how Robbo feels about it and explains why the hero of the match is the only one not celebrating in the photo !

Typical Clough

Will try and find the photo because once you know the story and see the look on Robbos face it all makes sense

If you ever go in the Pitch Diner there is a huge photo of this on the wall near the stairs
