How Nottingham Forest favourite is raising a smile and staying entertained amid lockdown

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley continues to offer some light relief during these challenging times, with his social media posts.

With the country on lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic, people have been looking for different ways to fill their time while at home.

And Crossley is no different.

Having previously shared a video of himself attempting the ‘toilet roll challenge’ with hilarious consequences, his latest form of entertainment was a version of ‘head tennis’ across the garden fence.

Crossley wrote: “Head tennis with the nephew, next door neighbour, only one winner, his mum Becky judging and his dad Glenn Crossley.”

The 50-year-old claimed victory after showing off some decent footwork and heading skills.

But some jokingly questioned whether he hadn’t actually broken the rules as he got one over his much younger opponent.

The ex-stopper, though, teased he takes "no prisoners"!
