Steve Cooper faces Nottingham Forest for the first time since he left almost a year ago and he cannot escape the talk about his past.

The 44-year-old was hesitant to discuss his time at the City Ground, which ended with the sack last December, at his news conference on Wednesday.

It was an understandable move as he looks to endear himself to the Leicester fans but it is impossible to airbrush history.

Cooper's spell at Nottingham Forest cannot go down as anything but a success given he guided them back to the Premier League after 23 years and kept them there.
