England cricketer and Nottingham Forest supporter Stuart Broad has revealed that his teammate Joe Root punched him in the leg during the play-off semi-final at the City Ground last week.
Root, a Sheffield United fan, watched the game alongside Broad and could not hide his delight when the visitors scored early in the second half. It was Broad who had the last laugh at the end of the night when Brice Samba booked Forest a place in the final at Wembley.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Broad recalled: "Just after half-time, 46th minute, conceding, and (Joe Root) punched me in the leg because I told him 'you're not celebrating sat next to me'. He punched me in the leg with celebration when it went in.
