00:00In 1981, one of John's biggest moments in a dark blue jersey arrived against Scotland's
00:07oldest rivals in the home championship at Wembley.
00:10If you've been to Wembley in the tunnel behind the goal and you see all these waves of Scottish
00:17blue and white, it's just unbelievable feeling playing for your country. It's something I
00:22dreamed of when I was a wee boy. It was a game that either team could win. I don't think there
00:26was many goldmouth incidents. And David Provence gets this ball wide on the right.
00:33On it goes to Archibald. That's a good looking ball. Archibald pushed. He's given the penalty.
00:38A penalty to Scotland. And I remember screaming, penalty! And then putting my hands down thinking,
00:44oh God, I'm taking it. Ready to go. And who runs up to the England goalkeeper? Trevor Francis.
00:53And look at Trevor Francis, who plays with Robertson. Even at the time I thought, what on earth
01:00is going on here? They're just trying to put him off. Now, will it affect Robertson? And
01:07John, hardly without taking a step, just swept it past him. 1-0 for Scotland. John's ability
01:20from the penalty spot was soon to be immortalised for Scotland's World Cup squad song in 1982.
01:27And then the whole place cracked laughing. And I thought only John Robertson would get away
01:31with that in Nottingham. His greatest goal isn't winning the European Cup. It's beating England
01:35with Scotland. That's John Robertson. But I had an ambition to score the winning goal at
01:41Wembley. Unfortunately for me, it came in that game in 1981.
