I always will be,” Robertson wrote.“But after nine years here, I’ve realised there’s room in my heart for two cities.
Liverpool will forever define a huge part of my life.”He continued by explaining how quickly he and his family felt at home after arriving in 2017.“Honestly, I think the reason me and my family settled so quickly is because Liverpool reminded us so much of home.”“The humour, the people, the mentality — it all felt familiar straight away.”Robertson also reflected emotionally on raising his family in the city alongside his wife Rachel.“Over the nine years, two became five.”“Liverpool is where our little team was built.”And in a line that instantly resonated with supporters, he joked:“They’re not English.”“We’ve got three proper little Scottish Scousers.”The letter also touched on the relationship between Liverpool supporters and the team during both triumph and heartbreak.“We won together, we lost together, we laughed, celebrated, cried and mourned together,” Robertson wrote.“We went through all of it together.”He closed the tribute with words that perfectly captured his bond with the city.“Liverpool, it’s been an absolute pleasure.”“The privilege was all mine.”For Liverpool fans, Robertson’s departure marks far more than the end of a contract.It is the farewell of a player who embodied the spirit of the club as much as anyone during one of the most successful eras in its history.
