ian robertson -lrb- born 25 january 1946 in footscray , victoria -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer in the vfl and currently a football commentator .
robertson was born in footscray and recruited to the carlton football club from dalyston after the footscray football club refused a request for a trial with the club .
robertson debuted in 1967 with the blues and was a solid midfielder .
the fact that he was taken from footscray 's recruitment zone became an issue two years into robertson 's career , when the bulldogs asked for their rights to him as a player .
ken greenwood was cleared to the bulldogs from carlton and the dispute was resolved .
in 1968 , 1970 and 1972 , robertson was a member of carlton 's premiership sides and was a serviceable player .
he had played 125 games and kicked 86 goals for carlton between 1966 and 1974 , before moving to footscray -lrb- in an ironic twist -rrb- late in 1974 , only notching up 4 games and 1 goal .
in the 1980s robertson became a football commentator for the seven network , continuing this role until 2001 when the seven network lost the rights .
he was signed with fox footy in 2002 but left the network in early 2002 for unknown reasons .
in 2004 he was a radio commentator for 95.5 k-rock in geelong .
