7 Footballers To Play For Both NUFC And Leicester City

5. Nolberto Solano

Newcastle United: 1998-2004 and 2005-07 League Appearances: 240 League Goals: 45 Leicester City: 2010 League Appearances: 13 League Goals: 10

Whenever Nolberto Solano is mentioned by a Newcastle fan, they do so with a smile - because the little Peruvian was simply majestic at times. A member of Sir Bobby Robson's thrilling Champions League side, Nobby Solano and Laurent Robert would occupy either wing and deliver pinpoint crosses and set-pieces to the likes of Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy. Having signed for Newcastle for just shy of £2.5 million in 1998, Solano made 182 appearances and scored 37 goals - many of them memorable - before he left for Aston Villa for £1.5 million in 2004. However, just 18 months later Solano was back on Tyneside for the same price for which he was sold - and he once again proved to be a hit, scoring eight goals in a further 58 league appearances.

After leaving the North East for West Ham United, the 95-cap Peru international became somewhat of a journeyman, playing for Larissa, Universitario de Deportes, Hull City, Hartlepool United and Leicester. His time at Leicester in 2010 saw him make 13 league appearances for the Championship club - although he failed to find the back of the net. Since retiring Solano has moved into coaching - and he continues to play the trumpet for his own Salsa ban, "The Geordie Latinos".
