Well I was the one whooshing then....  

 

My apologies.

some more from that thread on the day he signed:

 

 

@Kitchandro on the ball as ever

 

 

 

[daddylonglegs]

Only been a fan for 15 years or so but he's comfortably top 5 players for me.

 

1) Vardy

2) Mahrez

3) Kante

4) Esteban

5) Big Wes

A Legend in my book

Some highlights

 

 

 

The people who doubted his just because he played for Forest are idiots. One of our greatest ever managers played for Forest, is a legend there.

 

But nice to know, on the top of page 6, I put:

 

Quote

I do think he is a good defender. But, I question why we are going for him. Does this confirm St. Ledger is leaving, and also maybe another defender?

It was a terrible post on my behalf but they'd had no success whilst he was their main centre back and had even gone down to league 1, clearly we've had his best years by far

Shaun St Ledger/Wes Morgan not much in it.

We signed Westley Morgan from Forest for £1m. Nigel Pearson's second signing since returning (the other being a certain Mr Drinkwater). Six months later, as a result of his strong performances, he was awarded the captaincy of Leicester City Football Club. 

 

Scored at Old Trafford to take us a point within winning the Premier League Title

 

 

 

 

 

Great post and will always be a Leicester City legend as you say. I imagine he really must regret leaving Forest! 

 

Just one small correction - Scored at Old Trafford to take us within two points of winning the Premier League Title (IIRC - Apologies if I'm wrong and I will edit later if so).

Imagine having a time machine and posting a picture of Big Wes lifting the Premier League trophy in that thread  I think my brain would have exploded.

[Dan]

He's been fantastic really. He's been through so much and has time and time again defied his critics. I think he's about to drop down the pecking order for us but he's done great.

[RoboFox]

Great post.

 

But it would have been perfect if the OP was actually @Captain... 

[mod hero]

No question or debate about big Wes. A lot of discussion about King being a legend, not for me.

 

This guy is though without a doubt.

This is like one of them you tube films of perspective players. Yes he is and has been a great player for us. But you fail to mention him being captain for some other bits. Being awful in the great escape until Huth arrived. Not being an on field leader as captain. Going missing at set pieces. Oh and one of the biggest hoofers at the club.

Do you enjoy life?  X

Debut at Norwich in the FA Cup after Pearson dropped Captain Matt Mills and put Wes straight into the team, as I recall.

Wasn't that the match (a 2-1 win, when we were Championship and they were PL) after which Mills allegedly caused a scene in the dressing-room and NP ordered him to go and sit on the bus? Did he ever play for us again after that?

What a superb signing he's been. His long career at Forest is entirely forgiven. Wonder what he'll do after he stops playing?

Big Wes nearly scored a backheel volley in that game! If goal-line tech was around back then it may have been given.

That was a rare away match that I went to, but don't remember that incident - mental decay through years of alcohol abuse, probably.

I'm sure I have plenty of that to look forward to.
