Ex-Nottingham Forest captain and manager Stuart Pearce, speaking to Talksport about the supportive messages from his former club following his health scare earlier in the week:

"It was incredibly humbling. It was really nice to hear Nuno's message as well and that I am part of their family and my history with the club dictates that.

"Fantastically humbling, it really was, but it's what I expect from that football club - they're incredible."

On his health and recovery: "I had a virus that just sort of attached itself to my heart that just needed clearing, rebooting and going through the process I think.

"When I get home I obviously will have some medical checks there and go and see my GP and one or two other things, I'm sure.

"But I feel brilliant in myself and have done since mid-last week to be honest with you, but I'm in really good hands."
