A Nottingham Forest fan alleged to have been stamped on by Sheffield United player Oli McBurnie has claimed he was singled out and attacked after telling the star: “You’re shit at football, I’m better than you.”
George Brinkley told Nottingham Magistrates’ Court he genuinely feared for his life after being put in a headlock by McBurnie’s team-mate, Rhian Brewster, during a pitch invasion following last season’s Championship play-off semi-final at the City Ground.
