Sampson Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Enough of the meaning about whether it was right or wrong to bring him on yesterday. Let's appreciate his achievement of reaching 300 appearances for the club yesterday! What a player he's been for us over the years and will rightly go down as one of the club's biggest ever legends. I, along with many others, thought it was a waste of money for Pearson to spend £1mil on him. But as often was the case, Pearson knew best.
Tuna Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 I remember Big Wes getting sent off after about 5 minutes in a miserable home defeat to Millwall - who knew he'd become a Premier Winning Captain. Our Premier League winning captain! Super signing and a true legend.
UniFox21 Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 300 Appearances 2 league titles Legend for the club
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Really underwhelmed when he joined us but wow how wrong I was, what a fantastic captain he’s been, lead us to the title and has been a fantastic pro, absolutely brilliant servant. 🦊
TrentFox Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 As value-for-money signings go, he has to be up there with the very best we’ve ever made. Been a total hero.

MrsJohnMurphy Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Scored some crucial goals at crucial times too Legend, love him
The whole world smiles Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 It's no reflection on Wes that is was the wrong decision to bring him on yesterday. We could have bought on a prime Fabio Cannavoro and it would have been the same outcome it was a shape issue not a personel issue. That being said 300 appearances is incredible. What a player, what a bloke.
Guest Markyblue Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Hes from Nottingham and we love him, legend indeed.
Koke Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 402 appearance for Forest. 300 for City. Most of those 700+ career games in the top 2 divisions. Quite a remarkable career for someone of his talent. 44 minutes ago, Tuna said: I remember Big Wes getting sent off after about 5 minutes in a miserable home defeat to Millwall - who knew he'd become a Premier Winning Captain. I remember watching him for Forest against Yeovil in League One. Absolute calamity. Who would have thought that guy would become a PL winning captain.

He was literally in the team of the year why did you think it was a waste of money? Anyway he's an absolute legend of course!
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Always thought he was a beast whenever we played Forest but didn’t actually think we needed him at the time as we already had Mills, St Ledger and Bamba (I know ). Our Premier League winning captain, will always be a legend!
Hitesh Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Whilst his impact on the pitch is limited dont underestimate what he does off it. He spends a lot of time with the younger players and shows class as a leader of the team. I think his style is also complimented with Kasper and the other leaders in the team (Vards, Evans etc.)
foxfanazer Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Won more league titles than Steven Gerrard. Let that sink in

StriderHiryu Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Congratulations on a fantastic achievement. 300 games is no joke and he's been here through our best ever period as a club. It will be interesting to see what he does at the end of the season. Will he retire or will he go down a league (or even to the USA) for one last swansong? He has a degree in Business Management I believe and it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up working for the club either as a coach or possibly even on the commercial side of things. I even wonder if he's interested in being a coach or manager? Sadly there isn't enough representation for black players in management, but with the way the Leicester City family is setup, I could see him being given a shot as development squad or even U21 coach. A good player doesn't make for a good manager but everyone says he's a great leader and that's a great start.

coolhandfox Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 The term Legend is often used to often in modern day football, but Wez is without a Leicester City Legend, 9 season service and over 300 games and a fantastic captain.
