BIZARRE: Brice samba makes derby county jibe after nottingham forest vs fulham | Mind Blowing Facts

Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has claimed on social media that he would rather "stop playing" football than be a 'ram' as a Derby County supporter suggested he was.

The 28-year-old now plays for Lens in the French Ligue 1 after leaving the Reds during the summer transfer window. Samba is enjoying a strong start to the season and has been ever-present under Franck Haise, who has been linked with the vacant Brighton and Hove Albion head coach job alongside Steve Cooper, as his side currently sit fourth in the top-flight table as one of only three unbeaten teams alongside Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

Since leaving the City Ground, the goalkeeper's unorthodox shot-stopping, which endeared him to the Forest faithful, has led to further viral fame. During last Friday's 1-0 win over Troyes, Samba nonchalantly caught an attempted shot from inside his own half by France World Cup-winning central defender Adil Rami with one hand just inside the six-yard box.
