DJ Campbell gets Leicester City squad number at start of this season
A measure of how much DJ Campbell is back in the Leicester City fold is provided by this season's squad numbers.
At this time last year, when it appeared that the striker was on his way out of the Walkers Stadium, he was not given a number.

But now Campbell has scored five goals in five pre-season games and new manager Paulo Sousa has said he wants to keep him at the club.
Campbell has been given No.32 in the list issued by City yesterday.
Campbell was eventually allocated No.23 for his three appearances as a substitute last season.
Summer signing Miguel Vitor has been handed the No.5 shirt.
That was previously held by Aleksandar Tunchev, who switches to No.3 this season.
The other new arrival of the summer, Tom Kennedy, will wear No.18.
The defender was signed by previous manager Nigel Pearson before his switch to Hull.
The other significant-looking change for this season is that Paul Gallagher, who was No.24 last season, will be wearing the No.7 shirt this time.
Familiar strike pairing Matty Fryatt and Steve Howard will continue to be Nos.12 and 9 respectively.
There is good news for three members of the Academy.
Tom Parkes, Jorrin John and Jeff Schlupp have all made a good enough impression on Sousa to be given numbers.
The issuing of the numbers proves annual fun for fans trying to read how their side will line-up for the opening match.
There may be more clues in Saturday's final pre-season friendly against Sunderland.
But no-one will know for certain until Sousa names his side to face Crystal Palace in the Championship opener a week on Saturday.
Squad numbers: 1 Chris Weale, 2 Robbie Neilson, 3 Aleksandar Tunchev, 4 Michael Morrison, 5 Miguel Vitor, 7 Paul Gallagher, 8 Matt Oakley, 9 Steve Howard, 10 Andy King, 11 Lloyd Dyer, 12 Matty Fryatt, 13 Conrad Logan, 15 Bruno Berner, 16 Nicky Adams, 17 Dany N'Guessan, 18 Tom Kennedy, 19 Richie Wellens, 25 Jack Hobbs, 26 Tom Parkes, 27 Jorrin John, 28 Ashley Chambers, 30 Aman Verma, 31 Jeff Schlupp, 32 DJ Campbell.

“You are the only impersonator on here Fred.
So empty Tony from Coalville out of that spacious cavety inside your head.
Because every one on here knows it's you.
I feel that you are more to be pitied than laughed at,
As you are mentally ill my friend.
So don't delay, see a shrink today!!!!”

“Sexy Sue and New Guy Ross, when you post an opinion on topic then we can judge it. I don't argue with everyone who disagrees with me as real posters know, but if you can't post a constructive argument you should shut up. The real posters don't bother to post because you "REAL" Fans don't let them or have driven them off. . I have reported the impersonators, and the direct Pervert claim is being investigated.
Enjoy your childish posts, claiming to be real supporters.
to dobber, keith, bryan123, braunston fox etc.. good luck with these clowns, fed up with fighting them.. they haven't won, I will just report them from now on.
Other real posters beware, you'll be labelled an idiot for posting your views which will be "rubbish", but they will hide behind aliases and never put forward a real opinion, because this site is not about footy but attention seeking to them.
good luck.”

“Nigel made many mistakes, Paulo is going to be one of the best managers in the future. Fred is an idiot.”

“Hey Chappy, Sue and fred too get a room the sexual tension is at boiling point!
Fryatt was yesterdays man until pearson came
Dj is probably why we are still in this division, pearson couldnt get the best out of him and lends him to a side that do ! hopefully sousa can get the best out of DJ and Fryatt at the same time as that seems to be the problem to me,
Dropping Wayne Brown for political issues in the play offs cost us, he would have sent chopra packing without giving him a sniff of a penalty like brucies little boy!”
