Born in Scotland, Robertson played for East Benhar Heatherbell,
Motherwell, Fauldhouse and
Hearts – it is reported that the
Edinburgh club took him on after an impressive performance making up their numbers in a reserve game at Fauldhouse.
Manchester United (one of the very few players to have played for
both bitter rivals at each end of the East Lancs Road) and Bathgate. Robertson received one
cap for Scotland, playing against
Ireland in a
British Championship match on 26 March 1898 at Solitude,
Belfast; he also managed to find the net in a 3–0 victory for Scotland. In both 1900 and 1901 he took part in the
Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match (alongside
William Robertson and
Tom Robertson in the first and up against
Jacky Robertson in the second – all no relation), but this did not lead to any further international appearances. ==Honours==
