David Connolly

Connolly spent a year with Leicester as the 2004/05 season saw him hit some real goalscoring form.

He netted 17 times during the campaign and then joined Wigan for over £2.7m the following summer – a profit of around £2m for the Foxes on the fee they paid for the Republic of Ireland international.

Saints picked him up as a free agent in 2009 and the move proved a real masterstroke.

Connolly scored some really important goals for the club in both League One and the Championship, with 17 goals in 66 appearances.
