Steve Cooper has been Nottingham Forest’s unifying force – he is integral to club and city

New York Times

What Forest have achieved since Cooper was appointed in September 2021 has been remarkable — and there is nobody more integral to it than their head coach. Whatever happens in the future, Cooper’s trademark fist-pumps will be the physical embodiment of a remarkable era for a club that had waited 23 years for the chance to return to the top table. The City Ground raised its voice to bellow his name time and again as Forest agonisingly edged past Mikel Arteta’s team. pic.twitter.com/W8V2vjtjuT — Nigel Blundell May 20, 2023 It was no surprise to see Forest captain Joe Worrall stalking his way determinedly towards A-Block before releasing an explosion of pure emotion as a third consecutive home win was confirmed, like the reincarnation of Stuart Pearce when he scored his redemptive penalty against Spain in Euro ’96.
