A moronic football fan marred Nottingham Forest's greatest night this century after a brutal attack on Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp during a pitch invasion seconds after their penalty shoot out victory in the Championship play-off semi-final.
The stocky supporter in yellow broke away from the celebrations to charge headfirst into Sharp who was standing with his arms crossed in the technical area at the City Ground.
Horrifying footage of the incident, captured live on Sky Sports, shows Sharp being floored having not seen his attacker coming. Mr Sharp, who previously played for Forest, needed stitches.
Police have since arrested a man on suspicion of assault following the incident, with Forest vowing to ban him for life for one of the most appalling attacks on a player ever seen on a football pitch.
