Friends and players pay inconsolable tribute to ex- Nottingham Forrest midfielder Derrick Otim

R.I.P brother, growing up was always the bench mark of where we all tried to get to. But forgetting football the most gentle + kind human being there is! Prayers up for you and your family at this devastating time🙏🏾❤️#DerrickOtim pic.twitter.com/8F75QnMWVJ
