Gary Lineker sends Nottingham Forest classy message after promotion to Premier League

Former Leicester City striker Gary Lineker has sent his congratulations to Nottingham Forest, after they defeated Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final to earn promotion to the Premier League.

The Reds won the game at Wembley 1-0 courtesy of a Levi Colwill own goal in the first half and were never challenged by the Terriers to return the club to the top flight after 23 years away.

The Reds will now welcome the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City to the City Ground next season after a tremendous season in the second tier of English football.
