From the OS:

I can confirm that Bruno N'Gotty and Jimmy Nielsen have signed for Leicester City.

They are the first of two players that have agreed to join. Both have a wealth of experience and I believe they will be major assets for the season ahead.

Also, I am delighted that we have recruited Don Mackay to help me with my recruitment of players at the top level.

He brings experience. At times he will be able to give me guidance and support and I am looking forward to working with him and picking his brains to improve me and help me develop.
 
Neilsen and Bruno.

I knew I'd heard the name before....
In November 2004, Jimmy was linked with a move to Leicester City but it fell through. "Over time, I have started to doubt that the interest shown by Leicester is serious enough to warrant me spending time and energy going over for a trial" he said after new Leicester manager Craig Levein signed Stuart Taylor on loan from Arsenal.
 
Jesus they managed to keep that one quiet.
Leicester city are full of supraises, not one rumour on jimmy, not even not the most trust-worthy rumour site
 
Welcome "Casino Jimmy"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Nielsen

"During a session with the Denmark national under-21 football team in 1999, Nielsen and u-21 teammates Allan K. Jepsen and Peter Degn went to the Munkebjerg casino in Vejle at night to gamble. They were subsequently excluded from all national team practices, a ban that lasted several years. This earned Nielsen the nickname Casino-Jimmy.

In April 2004, Jimmy Nielsen and fellow teammate David Nielsen raked up a debt of £160,000 with Aalborg bookies. AaB director Lynge Jacobsen decided to help them both out financially, as well as giving the team councelling lessons for gambling addiction. Nielsen continued as a stalwart in the AaB team, and was eventually named team captain. In 2006, Jimmy published an autobiography called 1000 på rød (lit. "1000 on red")."
