Sheffield United defender Enda Stevens has said he was "actually fearing" for his life when Nottingham Forest supporters invaded the City Ground pitch during the play-offs.
Speaking ahead of the Republic of Ireland's international fixtures, Stevens was asked about the incident after Forest beat Sheffield United in the play-off semi-final second leg. He did not hold back when insisting that more needs to be done to protect players in such situations. A Forest fan was jailed after running on to the pitch and headbutting Billy Sharp.
"Shocking," he told reporters during a press conference. "Over the course of that week or so, it was happening continuously. I was out there with him (Billy Sharp) and it was just an absolute disgrace.
