Video: Ross McCormack shushes Norwich fans on debut... with Forest 4-1 down
Nottingham Forest’s latest signing made the bizarre decision to hush the home support after netting a meaningless effort on debut for his struggling side.
The finger-to-mouth celebration is normally – and rightfully – reserved for riled-up players netting a winner or dramatic equaliser (y'know, something – anything – with a modicum of merit)
Goal and celebration at 1:29... but while you're here you won't want to miss Norwich's goals at 0:05 and 0:32
McCormack, who joined from Aston Villa on deadline day having annoyed Steve Bruce by missing training because of a faulty electronic gate, had endured some abuse from the home support at Carrow Road during his warm-up.
Ross McCormack shushing the crowd after scoring at 4-1 down is majestic footballer idiocy.

His celebration also doubled up as an ominous sign for what was to happen at Villa Park – within a minute his parent club Aston Villa had conceded the only goal of a 1-0 defeat against Norwich's fierce rivals, Ipswich.
Back in East Anglia, Norwich went on to win 5-1. Sssshhhhh!
