Fan Who Was 'Stamped On' By Oli McBurnie 'Feared He Was Going To Die'

He explained: "I suffered two serious head injuries as a child so I was desperately trying to protect myself.

"If I’d been stamped on and my head smashed on the ground it could have killed me.

"McBurnie is a role model and shouldn’t be doing that. I want him to face justice."

The Scotland international denies intentionally stamping on Brinkley and replied to a fan's tweet on Wednesday, which reads: "Wish that @oli_mcburnie video was in full context - looks more like he was trying to step over him with one bad leg! Could be wrong!"

McBurnie's response was a '100' emoji.

He's been out of action since April with a foot injury and was wearing a protective boot at the game.

A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault on Thursday before being released on bail.

Detective Inspector Nicholas Hall, of Nottinghamshire Police, explained in a statement: "We are working hard to understand the sequence of events depicted in this video and have now interviewed a suspect.

"As our investigation continues we would like to speak to any other witnesses who have not yet come forward."

Sharp is a former Forest player and posted a message to social media which states: "One mindless idiot ruined what was an unbelievable night of football

"Congratulations to Nottingham Forest on their victory and good luck in the final.

"As an ex-Forest player I will not let one scumbag ruin my respect for Forest fans."
