Adam Johnson was an American Ice Hockey player and star of the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey Team as well as playing two seasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins!
On October 28th while playing for Nottingham Panthers away to Sheffield Steelers Adam tragically lost his life in a freak accident (a skate blade slashing his neck)!
The football team I have supported since 6 years old Nottingham Forest had a planned one minute applause for Adam at the 47th minute point (Adam’s number) of their home game against Aston Villa on the 5th November.
This is were something special happened! On the stroke of the 47th minute and the minutes applause began Orel Mangala struck home Forests second goal, then the second the applause finished a beautiful rainbow appeared above the City Ground!
If that wasn’t enough Orel Mangala since moving to Forest has shown a keen interest in the local ice hockey team going to see them as often as possible (no idea why he took such a shine as he’s from Belgium) and guess what Orel’s middle name is, yes you got it, Johnson!
