A Nottingham Forest fan who was allegedly stamped on by Sheffield United player Oli McBurnie has claimed the footballer attacked him after he told the star: 'You're s*** at football, I'm better than you.'
"I said 'Oli McBurnie you are s*** at football, I am better than you and I'm not a pro'."Mr Brinkley said former Swansea City and Barnsley player McBurnie had heard the comment, adding:"He responded to me, laughing, and said 'You look like you are'.
When asked by prosecutor Simon Jones how McBurnie responded, Mr Brinkley said:"He had a grin on his face - quite patronising... looking down on me."Moments after Forest's 3-2 penalty shoot-out win, Mr Brinkley told the court he"celebrated with the two people directly behind me" before jumping over the advertising boards.
McBurnie's barrister, Lisa Judge, asked Mr Brinkley if he was suggesting that the striker had singled him out of a crowd and assaulted him"purely because you had said he was a s*** footballer".
