'Boy, am I glad' - Steve Cooper sent message after TV confession ahead of Forest vs Everton

Nottingham Forest supporters were gushing over head coach Steve Cooper after his appearance on Soccer AM.

The Reds head coach was interviewed by long-serving presenter 'Tubes' on the Saturday morning Sky Sports show.

Fans were pleased with how well Cooper came across in the interview, with one moment going viral as the Welshman was asked why he became a manager so young. His reply was that he was a "crap footballer."

Tubes later replied to a comment from fan @AlexNobleTweets to say: "Couldn’t agree more Alex, He’s one of the nicest blokes I’ve ever met in 20 years doing this job."

Forest are in action tomorrow against Everton at the City Ground (2pm kick-off) in a game crucial to their hopes of remaining in the Premier League.

Here is a look at how some supporters reacted to the interview on social media...
