John Robertson Poster (Vertical Band)

In the heart of Edinburgh, beneath the rugged hills and the ever-changing skies, a footballing legend was born on October 2, 1964. John Robertson, known affectionately as 'The Hammer of Hibs' by the devoted fans of Heart of Midlothian, grew up on the vibrant streets of Scotland's capital. He honed his skills in local parks, where every blade of grass seemed to whisper of the greatness he would achieve.

Our Vertical Band Poster brings that very legend to life, capturing his image through a classic pose. This vintage minimalist, retro style illustration uses only light and shade to draw out the personality, identity, soul, emotions, and determined gaze of a true winner. The distinct and unique graphic vertical band design employs the deep maroon and white, colours synonymous with Heart of Midlothian, encapsulating the essence of Robertson’s illustrious career.

Robertson's playing style was nothing short of poetic. Diminutive in stature yet colossal in impact, he was a forward of exceptional vision and agility. His dribbling was almost a dance with the ball, his passes threaded like a needle through a defensive fabric, and his shots, oh his shots, were as precise as they were powerful. Scottish supporters will forever recall his pivotal role in Hearts' unforgettable matches, where his name rang out in triumph on the terraces.

In the 1986-87 season, known for its nail-biting tension, Robertson's remarkable ability to find the back of the net propelled Hearts to the zenith of Scottish football. Every goal, each crafted with the finesse of an artist, etched unforgettable moments into the history of the club. His decisive strikes against fierce rivals, especially those on the grand stage of the Scottish Cup, epitomised his unyielding determination and profound love for the game.
