Champions League club send Micah Richards shirt with very cheeky nickname on the back thanks to his Brest obsession
Share:
FRENCH club Brest sent Micah Richards a shirt with a VERY cheeky nickname on the back. Their gift came after Richards went viral for revealing his obsession with the Ligue 1 outfit in November. The former Man City ace and CBS colleagues Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry made some hilarious puns on Brest’s name during their Champions League coverage.

And Richards was left squirming as he declared: “You’re trying to get me sacked!”. But the pundit’s backing of Brest in Europe has seen the French side send him a gift. The present was unwrapped live on air during last night’s broadcast. It turned out to be an official Brest home jersey, leaving Richards delighted.

And his smile got even wider when he saw the cheeky nickname that had been printed on the back. Host Abdo first said: “I think it’s fair to say you singlehandedly put Brest on the map this season in the Champions League. “You’re a big fan of theirs and they’ve wanted to show that they’re a big fan of yours so they’ve sent us a little note.”.
