Nobby
He's been one of the most vital components at WHUFC since being signed by Big Sam over a decade ago.
He's lifted a cup at Wembley, housed/mentored Andy Carroll (no mean feat in itself), became the first midfielder to score double figures in a season since Frank Lampard, captained the club with distinction, celebrated like a chicken and been a huge part of David Moyes' backroom team.
So happy birthday Kevin 'Nobby' Nolan, 40 today.
What's your favourite Nolan moment?

Re: Nobby
f*** me, I can already picture Cicinho and Nolan at the Bar racking up a huge bar bill celebrating their double birthdays and that's drinks just for them!

Re: Nobby
Love the bloke and glad he returned to the club as a coach after his pretty subdued departure.
Deep down I think he’s become a bit of a fan of the club too.

Re: Nobby
For me, one of our most important ever signings. Getting him from Newcastle to lead us back to the Prem was so vital.
Love the guy. He is everything a top footballer should be.
I hope he has a successful managerial career.

Re: Nobby
I was delighted when we signed Nobby. He helped to put a backbone in the jellyfish that was West Ham. I was equally pleased when he joined the coaching team and I am sure he makes an immense contribution. All the best Sir Nobby!

Re: Nobby
I'm another one who's never heard of him referred to as Nobby before !
However, Happy 40th Kevin Nolan. Grudging thanks ( ) to the Fat Man for persuading him to come and put some spine & goals into the team. The Man Utd goal was not offside either...

Re: Nobby
I liked him even when he was at Notlob and regularly bullied whatever pair of spineless centre-backs we had at the time. He was also a far better player than he was given credit for and probably wouldn't have done any worse in an England shirt than Scholes, Gerrard and Fat Frank. He was always on a bit of a hiding to nothing being perceived as BFS's boy wonder but, he was a good captain for us and, you can argue that he taught Noble the job quite well.
I was super pleased when the Moyesiah brought him back as he's just one of those blokes who gets us.
