Bruno N'Gotty (born June 10 1971 in Lyon, France) is a French football player of Cameroonian ancestry who currently plays for Leicester City in the English Championship.

Initially a player at his home team (Olympique Lyonnais), from the opening of season 1988/89 to the close of season 1994/95, he later played for Paris Saint-Germain, A.C. Milan, Venezia A.C., and Olympique de Marseille before moving on loan to Bolton in September 2001.

Club career

Bruno N'Gotty scored the winning goal which defeated Austrian club Rapid Vienna in the 1996 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, giving PSG their only cup triumph in the tournament. He was also included in the squad that reached the final again the next year, losing to Barcelona 1-0. N'Gotty was part of the A.C. Milan team that won the Serie A title in 1999, making 25 league appearances for the club. He played alongside the likes of Paolo Maldini during his time there.

N'Gotty originally rejected Bolton's loan offer, but later agreed to spend the rest of the season with the club. The move eventually became a permanent deal. He made his Bolton debut against Blackburn Rovers, in a match which finished in a 1-1 draw, on September 19, 2001, but didn't score his debut goal for the club until seven months later, his only goal of the season coming in a 3-1 defeat at Everton.[1]

In January 2002, this move became permanent, N'Gotty being cited as one of the prime chances for Bolton success. His first full season for the club started in unfortunate style, as he received two yellow cards and one red card in his first six games. After this rather disappointing start he became a regular part of the first team and was voted supporters player of the year for the 2005 season. He originally wanted to end his career at the Reebok Stadium,[2] but with manager Sam Allardyce wanting to reduce the average age of the squad, N'Gotty was released at the end of his contract in May 2006. N'Gotty was signed by Birmingham City on a one year deal on July 6. The team achieved promotion to the Premier League that same season, finishing as runners up.

N'Gotty decided not to take up the option of another year at Birmingham and on 4 June, 2007 he moved to Leicester City on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[3] Chairman Milan Mandarić revealed on 27 September that N'Gotty was in fact signed by him, and not former manager Martin Allen, during a face-to-face meeting with the club's fans.[4] N'Gotty was named in the Championship Team Of The Week following the club's 1-1 draw against Stoke City on 29 September, together with teammate Márton Fülöp.[5] He played his 500th game in an M69 Derby on January 12 2008, in which Leicester won 2-0.[6]

International career

Though many observers predicted that N'Gotty's international career was to be successful, he made only 6 appearances with Les Bleus, making his debut on August 17 1994 against Czech Republic alongside Zinedine Zidane and Lilian Thuram, but while the two were soon able to secure a place in the national team, N'Gotty failed to impress Aimé Jacquet and played only 5 more matches until 1997, never being called up for a major event.
