@NottinghamRed99 : Stepped up when needed last season. Had the balls to take a penalty in the playoffs and scored. Cheers, Cafu.
@LukeBranson4 : Says it all when the bloke was down in Bestwood Nottingham watching and helping the new generation of footballers train at the south glade football pitches. What an absolutely great guy!
@RichoTheRed : Never really put a foot wrong and had little moments of magic when we were seeing out games last season.
@BenOKelly1969 : Wishing Cafu all the best & it’s a pity he didn’t get a chance to shine in EPL but leaves Forest in the highest regard.
@JMChambers1975 : For me you should have been in the squad all season, Thank you for everything, you stepped up in the play-off semi.
@Rocky2Red : Gutted for him, great attitude, and always gave 100%. All the best Cafu.
@jmetrcktt : I mean he would have done better than certain players in the CM position. Should have played more. Great attitude.
@robindesbois911 : Someone chopping onions round here? Cafu you have been a fantastic part of our squad and, in my opinion, very underrated. Good luck, sir. You’ll smash it at any club you get the chance at.
@ross_talling : Sad for him…he gave his all. Goodbye mate and hope you find something somewhere near as good.
@whiskers88uk : Proper professional in everything he’s done for us. Hope he finds first team football somewhere over the summer.
