Stuart Broad had to have his wits about him to get in the red to celebrate Nottingham Forest’s return to the Premier League at Wembley.
The England bowler and die-hard Forest fan was lucky enough to watch the Championship play-off final at Wembley after spending pre-match in the Bobby Moore suite where team colours are famously not allowed. Yet a social media clip shows that somehow one of Nottingham’s most famous son’s managed to get his hands on a shirt and scarf to celebrate their 1-0 win over Huddersfield at the end of a game that sent him skipping into Lord’s the following day.
“Last Sunday was one of the best sporting days,” said Broad. “I just loved it. To see Nottingham Forest, the sea of red, back in the Premier League after 23 years, everyone I've spoken to is delighted - although I don't know any Huddersfield fans!
