FRENCH club Brest sent Micah Richards a shirt with a VERY cheeky nickname on the back.
Their gift came after Richards went viral for revealing his obsession with the Ligue 1 outfit in November.

The former Man City ace and CBS colleagues Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry made some hilarious puns on Brest’s name during their Champions League coverage.
And Richards was left squirming as he declared: “You’re trying to get me sacked!”
But the pundit’s backing of Brest in Europe has seen the French side send him a gift.
The present was unwrapped live on air during last night’s broadcast.
It turned out to be an official Brest home jersey, leaving Richards delighted.
And his smile got even wider when he saw the cheeky nickname that had been printed on the back.
Host Abdo first said: “I think it’s fair to say you singlehandedly put Brest on the map this season in the Champions League.
“You’re a big fan of theirs and they’ve wanted to show that they’re a big fan of yours so they’ve sent us a little note.”
The note read: “Dear friends of CBS, many thanks for your close attention to Brest’s performances since the start of the Champions League.
“We all enjoy watching your many laughs on the studio. So we’ve made a special shirt for Micah.

“We could couldn’t resist giving a Stade Brestes shirt to our legend Thierry Henry, to whom we send our warmest greetings.”
Abdo then handed one jersey to Henry, which bore his surname on the back.
Richards then received his shirt, which had a rather cheekier message on the back.
Instead of having his surname, it instead read: “Brest Lover.”
But Richards was delighted and quickly pulled his shirt on.
He then said: “From the CBS family, I want to say thank you for the shirt, I really appreciate it.
“You’re doing an excellent job in the Champions League this season, long may it continue.”
Richards then joked: “What happens when they play Nice?”
It prompted fits of laughter from Abdo and Carragher, but Henry had heard enough and jokingly stormed away from his seat before pretending to read some notes in the corner.
Fans were certainly delighted by the segment.
One said: “I’m sure Micah loves it.”
Another declared: “Best football show in the world by far.”
One noted: “These people are crazy.”
Another added: “This is how a show should be presented, allowed to be yourself, chill and laugh.”
