Following the shock news that Nottingham Forrest’s star centre back Kelvin Davis has gone on strike after a bid from Celtic was turned down, other players for The Blues have walked out on the Thames-side club.

Fellow defender Wes Brown led the walk-out, in protest at the lack of ambition shown by club owner Norman Doughty.

He was quickly followed by midfielders George Cohen and Stuart Anderson.

Strikers Robbie Williams, Mike Tyson and Dexter’s Laboratory are also believed to be involved in the unpresidented strike.

Meanwhile, club captain Paul McKenna is leaving the game to resume his career as a hypnotist.

Forrest manager Billy Bremner was unavailable for comment, nor was his brother Rory.
