Former Nottingham Forest striker David Johnson is delighted seeing son Brennan preparing for today’s promotion playoff final against Huddersfield.
Johnson Snr says Brennan’s form is thanks to Forest manager Steve Cooper.
The former Manchester United forward told The Sun: “Steve worked out Brennan’s personality quickly. He’s quiet and laid back — and you don’t really have to say much to him
“They have their one-on-ones and he wants to learn. But sometimes when he hasn’t been playing well, he has to give Brennan a look to say, ‘come on, up your game’.
“Brennan has virtually played every game and they have that trust between them. So if his level drops, the manager will let him know.”
For a local boy like Johnson, promotion will be huge and his dad added: “It’s a club defining moment. It’ll literally change the face of Nottingham to be back in the Premier League.
“It’s make-or-break. It’s that big and this is an opportunity they can’t miss — but the desire of Brennan and all the players to make history will be there.”
