Morgan Gibbs-White stuns young Nottingham Forest fans with visit after England glory

Morgan Gibbs-White stunned three young Nottingham Forest mad brothers by paying them a surprise visit after his glory with England in the European Under-21s Championship.

Brothers Oscar, Oliver and Noah had spotted the midfielder driving in the area and decided to make a sign in the hope he would notice it.

And the day after, the Reds ace made their dreams come true as he stopped by their house where Gibbs-White gave them the shirt he wore during the first half of their final win over Spain.

Speaking to the BBC, the boys' dad Andy said: "My eldest son Oscar goes 'Gibbs-White's outside daddy'.

"I went 'yeah, all right', thinking he's winding me up. I looked out the window and he was. He'd pulled up in his car and he waved us to go out."

"I was like: 'Are you being serious? You don't have to give us that.'

"And he was like: 'No, I really appreciate the welcome you've given us. It's so nice and I want you to have this shirt.'

"We didn't get him to sign the shirt because it was wet. I think it was a bit wet because of sweat and champagne or something."

"To see the kids' faces light up when he handed them the shirt was like, 'wow'. It's something we will treasure forever."
