A Nottingham Forest fan alleged to have been stamped on by Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie has claimed he was singled out and attacked after telling the star: “You’re s*** at football, I’m better than you.”
Date published: Wednesday 14th December 2022 2:32 -
After social media footage alleged to show the assault was played to the court on Wednesday, Mr Brinkley said he invaded the pitch from the Peter Taylor Stand because of the “adrenaline” of Forest reaching a Wembley final. Describing what he claims happened moments after Forest’s 3-2 penalty shootout win, Mr Brinkley told the court: “I celebrated with the two people directly behind me. I jumped over the advertising boards – I had that much adrenaline going through me.”
“I did genuinely fear for my life because I have had head injuries in the past and my head is very sensitive.”
