Thought we'd signed him back for a second. At least he'd be a better option than Perez

Met him a couple of times and was the perfect gent,best thing i saw from him was i was waiting for autographs with my son.One little lad put his book up and he signed it....then the lad asked "what's your name?"..Nuge just shrugged it off and told the kid his name.Great bloke!

Top guy Nuge, good luck to him. Absolutely loved him when he was here. Always played with a smile on his face and was a good player for us and played a huge part in getting us promoted. 

[Mendi]

Coup for Tranmere.

[Dan Gliballs]

Fantastic player for us, and fantastic professional throughout his career, apart from the bit where he played for Derby, obviously.

 

Still a better goals per game ratio at senior international level than Kane, Rashford, or Sterling. #NugeforEuro2021

Left them as he found them so no harm done

This guy will never retire. What a player for Leicester City, by the way.

****ing love Nuge. Second to Vardy for me in terms of club legends, was pivotal in our long push out of the championship. 

[Fox92]

Hero.

Are you saying David Nugent is the second biggest "legend" in the 137 year history of this football club?

For me personally in my world, yes. He was that good he chased squirrels mid game. 

[eblair]

always feel very sorry for nuge he never got to be part of squad that won the league, him + lloyd dyer and a few others still very much part of that journey for me

[demon_dog]

Good luck to him.

Taught Vardy a lot, how to chase down players and get them to panic, when to take a shot on goal etc..

They became good friends, in fact wasn't he the best man at Vardy's wedding.

One of my favourite players at that time.

Joins ‘Forgot they’d played for us’ thread regulars Jay Spearing and James Vaughan there.

 

For a while he embodied everything that early 00s team was about and shame he never really cut it in the Prem.

Did well there; he signed in 2011.

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

One of my all time faves, was gutted when he left! 

[filbertway]

That smile is #irreplaceable

[Houdini Logic]

Right, go on, where's the squirrel video...

[TJB-fox]

Fitted in at Leicester like a glove. Unreal for us 

[HighPeakFox]

Never been slow to admit my admiration for Nuge - felt he was a big part of the glue that led to 15/16.

[samlcfc1]

Would genuinely have him starting for us tomorrow over Perez or iheanacho

[Clever Fox]

What a classy finisher he was, He never seemed to do more than was necessary.  We could certainly have done with him now on a 6 Month contract..
