Marinakis announced ahead of today's clash with Manchester City: "This week is one of profound sadness for everyone connected with Nottingham Forest as we come together to mourn the passing of John Robertson - a true legend of this great club in every sense of the word.

"I extend my sincerest condolences to his family, his friends, and all who loved him.

"Today, I have recommended to the Board that the Bridgford Stand be renamed 'THE JOHN ROBERSTON STAND' IN HIS HONOUR and in lasting recognition of his extraordinary contribution to our club, so that his legacy - and our great hero - will forever be remembered."
