Experienced Foxes striker David Nugent had a string of fine displays in the month of December to win the illustrious Lumbers Player of the Month title.
His two goals against Portsmouth and Doncaster as well as his hardworking ethic gave voters no choice but to award the accolade to the Liverpool-born Nugent. David Nugent finished the year with his eighth goal of the season – a fine header from Paul Gallagher’s free-kick against Portsmouth – making him the Foxes’ leading league goalscorer.
Nugent says his team-mates have the quality to provide the service from which he can thrive. Interviewed in the official matchday magazine for the Portsmouth game, he said: “My best return was 17 for Preston North End in my first season with them and I think that is beatable in this team.”
Dominic Gomersall said:
“I am just amazed at how many yards David covers. He works incredibly hard for the team and was the stand out player this month. I was delighted to see him score a couple and I know he will be a vital player for Leicester as we are now entering the second half of the season.”

A moment in watch making history was made at the Champ-de-Mars racing track in Paris on September 1st 1821: accurately to a quarter of a second, watch maker Nicolas Rieussec recorded the finishing time of every horse in the Arrondissement de la Seine as it passed the final line.
The young watchmaker, who already had a royal warrant proclaiming a Watchmaker to the King, was able to do so only because of his own groundbreaking invention.
Combining the Greek words chronos (time) and graphein (to write), Monsieur Rieussec had invented the very first chronograph. (Six months later, he was awarded a patent for his brilliant idea, and – to the delight of watch enthusiasts and the possible chagrin of race-goers – the chronograph received official recognition.)
