BT Sport bouncers ‘save Jermaine Jenas from being attacked after ex-Tottenham ace is approached by fan in Arsenal’s FA Cup tie’
Pundit and former Tottenham midfielder was working at Nottingham Forest's stadium for their FA Cup clash against the Gunners
BT SPORT pundit Jermaine Jenas was allegedly protected by a security guard after he was confronted by a furious fan in Arsenal's FA Cup tie with Nottingham Forest.
The former Tottenham player was walking along the concourse when he was approached by a supporter looking to cause trouble.
A member of the BT Sport's security team was forced to intervene and prevent Jenas from being involved in a potentially threatening incident.
The Daily Mail claim that a BT spokeswoman said it was not known which team the fan supported.
But Jenas, who spent eight years with Spurs making 202 appearances, would not be held in high regard among Arsenal supporters.
Tottenham share a bitter rivalry with their north London neighbours.
The 34-year-old also began his career at Nottingham Forest where he made his professional debut aged 17.
And Jenas was obviously delighted to see Forest player Eric Lichaj dump the holders out of the FA Cup with a brace.

Lichaj was then embroiled in a dogged campaign to own a pup after his wife promised him he could have a pet if he scored a hat-trick.
Fans came together to convince the missus that he deserved a new dog which he duly named 'Gunner'.
