Fans convinced Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has an assistant to scratch his ear and can’t stop watching video
FOOTBALL fans hilariously claimed Steve Cooper had an assistant scratching his ear after a hysterical clip emerged online.
The Welsh manager, 43, guided his side to a famous 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
But it was a post-match interview that saw Cooper go viral on social media.
While talking to Forest TV about how the game unfolded, he proceeded to scratch his right ear.
But he was wearing a blue shirt and the arm came into shot with a red item of clothing attached to it.
This made it look as though it was done by somebody else.
And those online had a field day with the bizarre moment.
A person shared the clip alongside the caption: “Steve Cooper has an assistant to scratch his ear when it gets itchy.”
In response, one fan replied: “That’s just brilliant .”
Another joked: “That’s what you can afford when you have a Premier League budget.

A third said: “They brought him in on transfer deadline day.”
And a fourth responded: “Further up the ladder you go, the less work you do.”
Forest head into the international break after two wins and two defeats from their opening four Premier League games.
Defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United have been balanced out by wins over Sheffield United and Chelsea.
Next up for Cooper’s men after the two-week hiatus is a home game against Burnley – who knocked them out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
