Capped 16 times for Scotland, Robbo is Hearts' most successful striker in the modern era. His uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time and his sublime finishing touch have made him a footballing icon. Now Robbo tells his own story in his own words. He recalls how football became his passion as a youngster, how he got his big break and why he didn' t sign for Hibs - a particular sore point for Hearts' arch-rivals every time the ' Hammer of Hibs' scored one of his record 27 goals in an Edinburgh derby. Robbo' s recollections include brilliant insider stories about Brian Clough and Wallace Mercer, plus the heartbreak of losing the league in the season' s closing minutes. He talks, too, about his family and how his life changed forever when he lost his father to cancer at the age of just fourteen. John Robertson' s life is an extraordinary one. His journey takes him from the parks and streets of Scotland' s capital to the history books as one of the greatest players ever to pull on the Jambos' famous maroon jersey. ROBBO is a must-read for anyone w ho loves Hearts and loves football.
