Tobi ‘TBJZL’ Brown — a founding member of the Sidemen, Europe’s largest YouTube collective — joined the club for training on Tuesday (November 1), alongside his brothers Manny and Jed Brown.

All three players were evaluated by coaches and staff during the session for possible inclusion in the team for the Reds’ FA Cup match against Accrington Stanley today (Saturday, November 5).

However, they do not feature in the matchday squad.
