New contract for Robertson

When you reflect on the fact that Nicol was fuelled almost entirely by crisps and ale, it makes his prodigious physical powers even more remarkable. Alec Lindsay is the first LB of ours I remember, and he was under-appreciated outside the city but he was very solid, accurate and quietly effective; Keegan loved him because of the excellent service he provided down the left. Robbo just has a 70s/80s vibe about him - he's one of the few players of today you could imagine bombing up and down on those potato patch pitches, then getting into his second-hand Ford Escort and going home to his bedsit.

He keeps things ridiculously simple and makes it look so easy, his precision is excellent too. Whether he's whipping it into the box from 25 yards or volleying it across to a team mate from the byline, he seems to more or less always make the right decision, with completely unfazed instinct.
 
Big Robbo interview on Reddit, loved this bit.


They’ve sang my song a few times and it is nice to hear it. It can give you a lift in the game. A lot more of the lads are getting songs now and they’re all getting appreciated. It was one of the big things for Virgil, I think – to get a song. He is delighted, I heard him singing it in the changing room a couple of days ago – he loves it!
 
I can't paste from Twitter in work, but Milner said:

"Delighted for this guy signing a new deal, well deserved. Only downside is we have to receive hospital passes from him in the box for the next few years! anywherewilldo #5050pass #atleasthecrossesitona6pence
