A Nottingham Forest fan has shared how he is heading to Wembley with a 'heavy heart and a few tears' after losing his son shortly after the semi final match. Jordan Baker passed away on Saturday May 21 after suffering from epilepsy from the age of five. He said messages of support he had received from other Reds fans had been a great comfort.
Jordan, 28, was a huge Forest fan and the father and son had planned to go to the final together. He had suffered from mostly sleep seizures after he had meningitis as a child.
His dad, Barry Baker said: "He won’t be at the final, but with a very heavy heart I will be going. I’ve been ill with leukaemia the last 2 years and spent a lot of time having those ‘if we die’ conversations with Jordan. Although the odds were on me going first, we both agreed that no matter what, we still had to go to Forest even if it was the next day and if we could get a trip to Hooters before, even better.
