Can't believe they didn't have Pearson on the pitch, same for Kasper.

 

Benalouane and St Ledger but not them? 

He can hardly walk he’s been having  loads of rehab

Owyn on bbc Leicester during commentary he was there and spoke to him before the game.

The scenes in L1 and K block when that protest took place when Vardy was asked for any final words. 
 

Magic lads. Well done. Co-ordinated and got a message across. 

What happened please?

Vardy was asked to say something to the fans and he paused. Loud 'sack the board/we want Rudkin out' rang out around the ground while Vardy just grinned.

Just seen the interview he had with Martin Tyler. You realise how grateful he was to Nigel Pearson for putting faith in him and signing him and persuading him to keep at it when he wanted to quit. Would love to see big Nige back at the King Power in some capacity. Fans clearly love him singing his name when he came up on the screen. Winning the Prem was as much to do with Nige as it was Ranieri.

Ricky Gervais was there in front of Wes.

Did the club announce anything like a stand name or a statue?. Or will he have to make do with a fkn book. 

[Guest Lako42]

Well that was a tough day. 

 

Last one as a ST holder, last ever time seeing JV in Leicester blue. 

 

It does, however, feel like a natural time to step away, at least until I feel I can connect with my club again in the future. 

 

Thanks for everything Jamie, its been one hell of a ride.

I love Nige to bits. His expertise would be invaluable but the bloke’s health should be a priority now. He’s only just got back walking recently and now he’s had another op. 

[Dames]

Fantastic servant to the club, our greatest ever without a shadow of a doubt. Its the start of a new era now and not one i can particularly say i’m excited about. Where ever he ends up next I hope he gets the success he feels he’s still capable of.

A Nigel Pearson having an influence from a hospital bed is better than no Nigel Pearson

Held it together until Vardy and Wasilewski had the biggest, most meaningful hug I’ve ever seen in my life.

 

Some bond between those lads, glad to have seen all of it!

Seeing him come out and wave was the closest I've come to understanding Monarchy

Exactly how I feel bar the season ticket bit. Gave mine up a while back due to commitments and just go as and when. 

 

Chuffed I went today to see off the GOAT.. the club finally did something right today.

 

But likewise.. I feel disconnected from the club, have for a while, but with Vardy off I see it as the final seam gone for me for a while and I'll just watch it on TV when I have nothing else to do.. or at least until 18months time when he returns for a 6 month loan 👀

I'm the same. Will follow their progress over the seasons in future on Radio Leicester .

Good luck to Jamie for the future, we'll always remember him

It’s difficult to find the words to express Vardy’s impact on the pitch, or his loyalty to stay when most jump ship as soon as they get the chance. 
 

Tonight’s for remembering all the good times and being grateful we were there to see it. 
 

Sadly tomorrow is about realising we’re in a sorry state and change is needed.
 

I thought after we went down with Adams (we couldn’t wring anymore out of the quality left from the O’Neill years), that we’d not ever hit those heights of league cups and top half finishes again. I was wrong and then some, so here’s hoping… 🤞

[blueharmie]

Goodnight goat.

 

We will never have a player like this again.

 

 

[Unabomber]

I can take or leave Nigel Pearson unlike some but wow. What a reaction that man got, he is the reason vardy is still here, he deserves everything vardy got and more 

[Number 6]

Fair play to Winks for travelling up for it.

[UniFox21]

The announcer trying to whip up applause for the team when coming back out to form the guard of honour for Vardy was amusing. Boos ringing out, they seemed to forget we've been shite all year and have just been relegated.

[Skidmark]

One day, my daughters (who have spent the last 2 hours running around with the flags from today) will ask me who the best player I've ever seen play for Leicester was.

 

I'll tell them stories of the Great Escape season and the goal against West Brom, how our club did the unthinkable, that goal against Liverpool. How I was there for the first game and goal, and how I was there for the last.
