John Robertson Heart of Midlothian Heritage Stripes Print

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.

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.
