A man has been jailed for 24 weeks for assaulting Sheffield United forward Billy Sharp following the Championship play-off clash with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. Forest secured victory and a place in the play-off final at Wembley after a thrilling penalty shootout, after which hundreds of fans invaded the pitch at the City Ground. Ad/> Forest season-ticket holder Robert Biggs was one of those to enter the field, and footage showed him charging straight at Sharp — who was looking elsewhere — before making contact and sending the United player to the ground.
