His playing career included spells at Newcastle United, Dundee and Livingston, but he is best known for his two spells at [[Heart of Midlothian F.C.|Heart of Midlothian]] totalling about 18 years, where he is the club's all-time leading goalscorer. He has since managed Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Heart of Midlothian, [[Ross County F.C.|Ross County]], Livingston, [[Derry City F.C.|Derry City]] and [[East Fife F.C.|East Fife]]. ==Playing career== [[Hibernian F.C.|Hibernian]] attempted to sign Robertson as a teenager but he asked for time to think the deal over; after Hibs refused, he signed for [[Heart of Midlothian F.C.|Heart of Midlothian]] along with school friend and fellow future internationalist [[David Bowman (footballer born 1964)|Dave Bowman]]. Robertson eventually earned the moniker "The Hammer of Hibs" (in addition to his more standard nickname "Robbo") as he scored a record 27 goals in [[Edinburgh derby]] matches.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/rivalries/newsid=1328994/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130630223638/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/rivalries/newsid=1328994/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 June 2013 |title=Heart of Midlothian VS Hibernian |publisher=FIFA |access-date=27 July 2014}}</ref> In 1986, 20 league goals from Robertson helped Hearts to the brink of a league and cup [[Double (association football)|double]]. A 27 league game unbeaten run ended with two [[Albert Kidd]] goals for Dundee in the last six minutes of the season allowing [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] to overtake them to win the title. A week later, Hearts lost 3–0 to [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]] in the [[1986 Scottish Cup Final|cup final]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/that-1980s-sports-blog/2015/may/01/albert-kidd-day-hearts-dundee-hibs-celtic-1986|title=How Albert Kidd became a Hibs and Celtic legend without playing for them|first=Steven|last=Pye|date=1 May 2015|website=The Guardian}}</ref> He scored 106 goals in 202 Hearts league games in this spell at [[Tynecastle Park]]. He left Hearts to play for [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in April 1988. Robertson failed to score in 14 Newcastle competitive first team games and returned to Hearts in December of that year, and remained there for the next decade. In 1998 Hearts won the [[Scottish Cup]] with Robertson an unused substitute, earning him his only senior medal as a player. In this second spell at Hearts he scored at a much less prolific rate compared to his first spell, with this time 106 goals in 310 league games. After an earlier loan spell with [[Dundee F.C.|Dundee]] scoring once in 4 league games, he left Tynecastle that summer. He joined [[Livingston F.C.|Livingston]] as a player-coach, scoring 14 goals in 41 league games. Robertson was also a [[Scotland national football team|Scottish international]], playing on 16 occasions for Scotland. He made his debut against [[Romania national football team|Romania]] in 1990, scoring in a 2–1 win. He missed out on selection for the [[UEFA Euro 1992]] due to a hernia injury.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/latest-hearts-news/interview-john-robertson-plotting-downfall-craig-levein-1419876 |title=Interview: John Robertson on plotting the downfall of Craig Levein |newspaper=The Scotsman |first=Aidan |last=Smith |date=13 April 2019 |access-date=21 November 2020}}</ref> ==Coaching career== ===Inverness Caledonian Thistle (first spell)=== Whilst playing for Livingston, Robertson became involved in the coaching side of the game.<ref name = "livi boss">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/livingston/4711758.stm|title=Robertson named Livingston boss |date=15 February 2006|access-date=19 October 2011|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]}}</ref> He left the club in season [[2002–03 in Scottish football|2002–03]] to become manager of [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.|Inverness Caledonian Thistle]] where he guided the Highland team to the [[Scottish Premier League|SPL]] for the first time in their history. ===Heart of Midlothian manager=== In November 2004 he returned to Hearts as head coach and despite two cup semi-finals and a good season in Europe as well as finishing fifth in the league, he was sacked in May 2005. ===Ross County and Livingston=== Robertson was appointed manager of [[Scottish First Division]] team [[Ross County F.C.|Ross County]] in June 2005, but left by mutual consent after four months.<ref name = "livi boss"/> He was then appointed manager of Livingston in February 2006,<ref name = "livi boss"/> but was sacked in April 2007 after finishing sixth in the First Division. ===Derry City=== Robertson was appointed by League of Ireland side [[Derry City F.C.|Derry City]] in July 2007.
