Nottingham Forest fans have sent their well wishes after defender Steve Cook revealed that his father suffered a cardiac arrest before Forest’s game against Bournemouth.
Forest travelled to the South coast for a crucial game in the race for the final remaining automatic promotion place in the Championship. But a late goal from Kieffer Moore means that the Reds now go into the play-offs at the end of the season, with the Cherries taking second place.
Taking to social media after the game, Cook revealed the news while thanking the paramedics who saved his father’s life. “First of all a big congratulations to @afcbournemouth on promotion but tonight I need to thank the paramedics at the game,” he wrote on Twitter.
