Former Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi says "the joy is great" after the club's promotion to the Premier League.
The Reds sealed their return to the Premier League after beating Huddersfield 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
The club's current owner Evangelos Marinakis was at Wembley to witness the incredible occasion, as over 35,000 jubilant Forest fans celebrated promotion.

Marinakis bought the Reds from Al Hasawi in May 2017, ending his five-year reign at the City Ground which started with hopes of winning promotion but ended with fans protesting against the Kuwaiti and the club battling relegation.
"I was hoping for the Nottingham Forest team to rise while I was with them, but God forbid he did what he wanted and today the joy is great and I am happy for them to qualify," Al Hasawi posted on Twitter.
