Morgan Gibbs-White goes the extra mile to share England Euros glory with young Nottingham Forest supporters

Morgan Gibbs-White has been sharing his joy over England Under-21s' famous European Championship success with some young fans back in Nottingham.

The 23-year-old Nottingham Forest star played a key role in the Young Lions winning their first Euros title in 39 years on Saturday. He played almost every minute of the tournament and replicated the form he showed in helping to keep the Reds in the Premier League last season.

A deflected goal in first-half stoppage time by Liverpool's Curtis Jones and a late penalty save from goalkeeper James Trafford saw England get over the line at the Adjarabet Arena in Georgia with a 1-0 victory over Spain.

Gibbs-White was sent off towards the end after he was substituted, but it did not matter as the Young Lions went on to seal a tremendous win.

And on his return to Nottingham, the Reds star was quick to track down some young fans who had supported him and England.

The youngsters made a sign celebrating the Euros victory, including the message: "Well done Morgan Gibbs-White, Euro Champion 2023", only for the player to turn up at their house, take photos, and then give them his shirt.

Gibbs-White then went on to share a heart-warming message on his Instagram stories account, declaring "I love Nottingham", followed by three love heart emojis.

Forest fans were quick to praise the player for his gesture, taking to social media to have their say. Here is what some of them have been saying...
