      Don’t stress about getting the odd term here or there wrong Ariel. Your passion and enthusiasm for footy and Forest is amazing. Tricky trees lucky to have you following them

      Great Interview,
      Even though he is only 21, Brennan acts and talks like a much older professional footballer. There are a few reasons why the first being his family they have brought up a fine young man who is a credit to them, and opposition fans are not happy with the tv cameras when they mention his dad, David Johnson (Ex Forest player) who is in the stands with the family there supporting Brennan.

      Secondly, it's the club Brennan is a graduate of the NFFC (Nigel Doughty) Academy, Nottingham Born and bred Brennan has been nurtured by great coaches through the years including the heartbeat of the academy the director of football development Gary Brazil who has been there for over a decade.

      A major role in Brennan's development was a pivotal loan to Lincoln City, everyone at NFFC knew good Brennan could be and that loan showed him off to everybody else, and I am glad he signed that new contract because he will only get better and will be a superstar for years to come

      I became a forest fan in 2019, and its been a great ride. I was a neutral for 20+ years but Forest grabbed my heart. Now you are a Red too. I'm glad to see their fan base grow on this side of the pond. I'll be looking for more Forest content. And we will be staying up. YOU REDS.
