Wow, it's a cracker:

"Everybody knows Nuge and respects him straight away, so there is no settling in period there." - Steve McClaren

Pronounced "Nudge" or "Nooge"?

Bit more original that "<FOOTBALLER_SURNAME>y" I suppose. Anyone have any previous favourite footballer nicknames? "Benty" always makes me smile.

Has to be New-ge.

Nobody prounces his surname nudge-ent do they?

Dave should suffice.

Nudge is a name I've heard used for him by team mates in the past.

*Nooge* sounds a bit like *Noob* - which would make more sense considering he just arrived. 

I'd have thought it'd be nooge?

As in "the nooge is just what we needed/a complete waste showing how bad our transfer policy is"(entrench positions by 9.30pm tonight and do not give ground)

anyone got any songs for the big man?

It is Nooge. Leicester fans used to shout 'Noooooge' when he played for them. Bit like 'Poooooom'.

He'll have to get in the queue before we bestow that name upon him.
