Matty Cash is preparing for an “emotional” first game back at the City Ground on Monday after making his name with Nottingham Forest.
Cash remains close pals with several fellow Forest academy graduates after progressing up the ranks together. The star later switched to Premier League Aston Villa in September 2020 for £16million and will head to the World Cup next month with Poland.
He insists he will never forget what the Reds and academy manager Gary Brazil did for his career when he was on the scrapheap. And Cash admits he will have a lump in his throat when he steps out against Steve Cooper’s promoted side with Villa.
