Former Nottingham Forest player Henri Lansbury was at the City Ground between 2012 and 2017 but retired last year to go full time with his company
Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Henri Lansbury has revealed that he has turned to turf after retirement. Lansbury played 150 matches for Forest in a four-and-a-half year spell between 2012 and 2017 before moving to Aston Villa, and he retired in 2023 having helped Luton Town reach the Premier League.
Turf Business even crowned him the Turf Influencer of the Year for 2023, an award which reflects his newfound passion following the end of his playing days. Lansbury has since provided products for Fulham, Genk and Monaco and he has mown the Gunners training ground pitches, too. "So, then I started doing it a bit at home, and then I came up with this product - I guess nowadays I'd introduce myself as Turf Influencer and co-founder of Grass Gains. I'm just waiting for my trophy to turn up for Influencer of the Year, then it'll take centre stage in my office.
"The grass comes first for me. To be honest, I'll go to games now just to look at the pitch. I'm not too bothered about the football; I'd rather look at a nice pitch and speak to the groundsman.
