FOOTBALL fans hilariously claimed Steve Cooper had an assistant scratching his ear after a hysterical clip emerged online.

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.

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.
