Happy 30th N'Golo

[dynamark]

The club have some flats in the Pavillions just off Burnmoor st and he was there for a while.Knocky used to run up to the station after games to get train to go home to france passing supporters on their way home.Riyad used to play footy with the kids down St Mathews apparently.Allgood lads

[ARM1968]

Engine room of our success. Unreal player. Obviously an utter cvnt for going to Chelsea - but I do love the little beaming fella.

Chelsea player.  Dead to me.

 

 

I'm very insecure.

“Kante crosses the ball to the far post? and Kante slides in to meet the ball and scores” and you’d almost believe it ! 

[Ecdysiast]

The Kante twins were magnificent for us that year. They were simply everywhere.

[Fox92]

30  Can't believe Riyad was 30 earlier in the year too.

 

Time flies.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Sticking around for only 1 year steroid him off legend status IMO compared to those who stuck around longer like Mahrez

[M0901]

Strangely I thought his best game for Leicester was the defeat at Arsenal! Newcastle away too he was a phenomenon.

 

Happy Birthday legend!

In fairness to N’Golo, he didn’t want to come to us, he was a Chelsea fan. So getting the chance to join them, he was always going to jump at it. 
 

He obviously made friends though and I remember him turning up to watch watch us play Burton away the following season. 
 

He was brilliant for us, I’d say our player of the season, in our greatest ever season. Between 15 - 17 with both Leicester and Chelsea, he raised the bar and expectations for a central defensive midfield. 
 

For me, N’didi is world class, N’Golo was on another level though. 

[Hollyfox]

A truly brilliant player for us and I'll always be grateful even if it was for the one season. 

As good as we were, I really think his presence gave us the edge. 

I think his first appearance for us was as a sub, away at West Ham. 

We were 2-1 up but they  were swarming all over us in that 2nd half. 

He was incredible and stopped them getting through. 

 

Happy birthday you fuching little beauty💙

He came on as a 82 min sub for Vardy against Sunderland I believe.

I’ve always said I think he was better in that season for us than any at Chelsea. He just started to get the recognition when he moved. Genuinely think we had the best midfielder in the world playing at little old Leicester City that season.

[Koke]

One of my favourite players of this era.

I think you are more insecure than you think you are!

[David Hankey]

If we're celebrating his birthday why not celebrate all the players who won 2016 EPL title?

Kante of 15-16 was better than Ndidi is now, however I think Ndidi is now better than Kante. This is partly down to him not being utilised properly during his time at Chelsea but I personally don't think Kante has been anywhere near as good for Chelsea as he was for us.

Happy birthday.

Actually I'm not at all small penis... I mean, I'm not at all insecure.

 

NG has been gone 4 years now and presumably had 3 other birthdays during that time.  Just let him go. He's moved on, so have we.  I think it's you lot that have got the hang ups.

or you could just wish one of our greatest ever players a happy birthday and not turn it into something it isn’t and move on with your life!

OK, If I wish Kante a happy birthday will you agree to stop fawning over some long gone Chelsea player?

 

Good!  Happy birthday N'Golo!  Many happy returns.

 

Now what do you imagine that I'm turning it into that it isn't?  I think you have over-estimated the amount of toss I could give.  My comments were supposed to be light-hearted, you might have missed that. 

 

...Now, if only I could move on with my life      I moved on in 2016 when he did.

[baldeagle]

Not interested . Yes he will go down as a legend as part of our title winning season but he literally was a one  season wonder and bailed out as quick as he could .Some would say he’s the reason we won the league I would say he was just one of the cogs in a wheel .

well for a start you’re saying I’m fawning over him when I’m not. 
 

 

and secondly, you said the exact same thing twice in very quick succession and you say you moved on in 2016?  

[murphy]

Yes, I spend my days pining over N'Golo Kante.  You've got me there alright, you clever so and so.

 

I know it's the international break but this thread....

 

Anyway, it's Tuesday now, happy birthday Christopher Walken!

[AndyElZorro]

The lads called him The Rash in training. Fully deserved. I don't know how he closed down everyone, but somehow he did it. What a player!
