Micah Richards can’t contain himself as Brest send him cheeky gift

Micah Richards was overjoyed after receiving a humorous shirt from Stade Brestois after his jokes earlier in the season.

Naturally, Richards couldn’t resist joining in on the lighthearted jokes surrounding the club's nickname, Brest.

Last night, he was presented with a shirt that read ‘Brest Lover’ on the back, leaving everyone in stitches. 

The rest of the panel, including Thierry Henry, Kate Scott, and Jamie Carragher, couldn't control their laughter.

Henry also got a thoughtful gift from the club, minus the cheeky innuendo, while Carragher, unfortunately, was left out entirely. 

The club sent a charming letter addressed to the panel, saying, “Dear friends of CBS, many thanks for your keen attention to Brest's performances since the start of the Champions League.”

“We all enjoy watching the many laughs you have in the studio. So we've created a special shirt for Micah.”

“We couldn't resist sending a Stade Brestois shirt to our legend Thierry Henry, along with our warmest regards.”

“Nothing for me, Kate, no?” Carragher asked, disappointment evident in his voice.

“Listen, I'm just reading out the card; it is what it is,” laughed Scott, handing Richards his shirt with a smile.

The former Man City defender was thoroughly amused by the gesture, bursting into laughter as he exclaimed: “Brest Lover!”

The title on Richards’ shirt evoked a classic shocked face from Thierry Henry.

Henry simply had his name on the back of his shirt, while Carragher cheekily chimed in: “I've never been able to get my hands on Brest.”

“I can't believe they left me out without a jersey. I made the best one-liner when we did that.”

Richards quickly slipped on his new shirt and quipped: “What happens if they (Brest) play Nice?”

The studio erupted in laughter as Henry immediately got up, tucked in his chair, and moved to a seat further away.

The cheeky banter Carragher was alluding to, and where it all began, took place back in November.

Richards was subject to some playful teasing from his co-pundits, jokingly being reprimanded for his earlier comments about the Ligue 1 side.

“It's a big one,” Thierry Henry remarked, looking ahead to Brest's next fixture in the competition against Bayer Leverkusen.

To which Richards shot back, “It's a bit lopsided, I think.”

That comment sent several production crew members into fits of laughter, while host Kate Scott tried to cover her face.

In response to his antics, CBS's next program featured Scott jokingly claiming that the production crew had requested Richards to remain silent while they discussed Brest's chances in the Champions League.

The panel then dove headfirst into a segment brimming with hilarious innuendos and double entendres, crafted to elicit laughter from Richards and see how long he could maintain his composure.

“After four games, who here likes Brest?” Scott asked, with Henry and Jamie Carragher both grinning widely as they raised their hands.

“I like the shape of them,” Carragher joked, leaving Richards nearly writhing in his chair as he struggled to contain his laughter.

“If you look at the setup under the manager, what he's got... he's gone for a front two tonight?”

“Yeah, two big um... a pair up front that are going to try to…” added Henry, his eyes glinting mischievously.

Scott then continued: “And how much do you enjoy watching them - would you pay to watch them?”

Carragher chimed in: "I have done!" prompting Richards to rock back and forth in his chair as he slammed the desk, trying desperately to regain his composure.

Ultimately, Richards couldn’t hold it in any longer and erupted: “What is this! What is this nonsense? HR! Wow! That was tough!”
