Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Brighton at the weekend as the Reds maintained their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 campaign.

Goals from Chris Wood and Ramon Sosa earned a share of the spoils with Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck bagging for the hosts.

The game was marred by a controversial sending-off for Morgan Gibbs-White who picked up two yellow cards and will now miss the visit from Fulham on Saturday.

Forest have made a strong start to the season, however, and it looks as though some new fans are being gained along the way.

Premier League legend spotted wearing Nottingham Forest shirt

At the weekend, a meet-up took place in the United States between Forest fans who live across the pond.

It was a weekend-long event that also saw fans of other Premier League clubs meet up to watch their respective teams in action.

Joining Forest fans on Sunday there was a surprise as Premier League legend Matt Le Tissier was spotted wearing the Garibaldi.

Le Tissier stayed loyal to Southampton throughout his career and Forest fans would have dearly loved him to play for the club at some point.

Despite being a penalty king, the only player to ever save a Le Tiss spot-kick was Mark Crossley when playing for Forest against the Saints.

Le Tissier responds to Forest fans

The former Sky Sports Soccer Saturday correspondent doesn’t do much media work these days and found himself in Chicago at the same time as Forest fans on Sunday.

After it was posted on X, Le Tissier did respond to the supporters, saying: “Thanks for the impromptu Q and A.”

Le Tissier was one of the most underrated players in the Premier League during his time as a player and his highlight is a timeless classic.

He scored some mesmerising goals during his career and was criminally underrated when it came to playing for the England national team.

It was surprising to see him donning the Forest jersey but clearly – based on his comment – he enjoyed himself in a friendly environment with the Reds fan base.
