'How I miss him' - Here's how Nottingham Forest fans reacted as club legend makes Reds comeback

A legend returned for Nottingham Forest earlier today.

After making over 400 appearances for the Reds, Stuart Pearce showed up once more for the team.

'Psycho' led a unique training session for Forest's Under 23s team in one-off occasion today.

Pearce lined up the cones and drills with Chris Cohen and Andy Reid, barking out instructions to keep the young trainees in line and on their toes.

The former defender also had two spells in charge at the City Ground - with a caretaker spell in the 96/97 season before a senior managerial return in 14/15, but this return is certainly more enjoyable, and perhaps a little more stress free.

"Fantastic to have Stuart in with us today, he’s an inspiration to us and for our young players to learn from him is special for them," said Reds U23 coach Reid.

It wasn't just the coach who enjoyed the presence of Pearce - fans have relished his Forest 'comeback.'

Here's just a slice of the reaction.

Simon: Legend.

Matteo: I would go to war for this man.

Tim: The Greatest Living Englishman.

Alex: Now we understand why Cash has been flying into challenges this season.

Chris: Always welcome skipper.

Harvey: Proper player.

Stan: Any excuse to put a Forest kit on, great to see him wear the Tree again.

Jonny : When he walked out as our manager (I sit/stand at the back of A block) I’ve never felt anything like it! My first ever game was standing in the old Trent end vs Sheff Utd in 1990 and that was awesome but that day

Joe: How I miss him.

@CityGroundShelf: Always grateful for one of the best days in my life.
