Jermaine Jenas has revealed he had a deep love for Nottingham Forest while playing for them as a teenager and claims he never wanted to leave the club who sold him to Newcastle in 2002.
Jenas burst onto the scene with Forest as a hotshot teen aged just 17 in 1999 before making his professional debut in 2001. The ex-midfielder went on to make 29 first-team appearances for the club, scoring four goals along the way.
Playing for Forest was a dream come true for the Nottingham-raised former England star who was capped 21 times for his country. The club had success in the late 1970's and early 1980's winning two European Cups, one UEFA Super Cup, one League title, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and one FA Charity Shield in successive spells under under Forest icons Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.
