Adored in Lancashire<br />

and worshipped in Chile,<br />

Ben Brereton Diaz<br />

initially arrived at<br />

Ewood <strong>Park</strong> on loan<br />

from Nottingham Forest<br />

in August 2018. The<br />

move was made<br />

permanent the<br />

following January for a<br />

fee of £7m.<br />

As a youngster, the<br />

striker had spent time<br />

on the books of<br />

Manchester United and<br />

Stoke City before being<br />

handed his chance at<br />

Forest, hitting his first<br />

professional goal with an<br />

injury-time winner in a<br />

2-1 victory over Aston<br />

Villa in February 2017 in<br />

only his third<br />

appearance for the Reds.<br />

After noticing he was<br />

half Chilean whilst<br />

playing the popular<br />

video game Football<br />

Manager, a group of fans<br />

began a social media<br />

campaign to get the<br />

forward picked for the<br />

South American<br />

country. Last May he<br />

was called up for the<br />

first time and he has<br />

since scored twice in<br />

seven games.<br />
