[@aussieboy77]

Add Man City to that list.

[@decb]

By the time Robertson scored, he'd been playing for Forest for 10 years. It was his 366th competitive match for Forest, and his 65th that season. Yes, 65th. He played every match in 1979/80. 65 matches in 41 weeks. It was his 74th goal for Forest, his 19th of the season, and his 3rd of the competition. That 65 matches is 4 more than Manchester City played in their treble-winning season, and Forest only made the Fourth Round Proper of the FA Cup. If City had reached the UCL final, they would've played a total of 64. Forest also played friendlies and testimonials during the season, and twice as many pre-season matches as City did and, as far as I can find, Robertson played in all 11 of them, which would give him a grand total of 75 matches in 45 weeks. Think about that when Premier League clubs with players earning well into 6-figures a week are complaining about FA Cup replays yet again.
