Alright, so today I wanna talk about something I was messing around with – trying to dig up some info on this footballer, Kevin Nugent. I mean, I vaguely remembered the name from somewhere, and you know how it is, one thing leads to another and suddenly you’re down a rabbit hole of old football matches and stats.
It all started with a conversation, actually. A mate of mine was rattling on about some obscure players from the past, and the name “Kevin Nugent” popped up. I was like, “Hang on, I think I remember that guy.” But my memory is, let’s just say, not what it used to be. So, naturally, I did what any self-respecting person would do – I hit up Google.
First things first, I needed to make sure I had the right Kevin Nugent. There are probably a few out there, right? So, I started searching for “Kevin Nugent footballer”. That narrowed it down a bit. Pretty quickly, I found some profiles and articles. Seems like he was a striker, played for a few clubs, mostly in the lower leagues from what I could see. Nothing massively glamorous, but a proper working-class footballer.
Then, I started looking at specific clubs he played for. That’s where things got a bit more interesting. I remembered him maybe playing for Cardiff City, so I specifically searched for “Kevin Nugent Cardiff City”. Bingo! Loads of stuff came up. Team line-ups, match reports, even some old interviews. I was getting a proper blast from the past. I even found some old message boards with fans chatting about him. It was like stepping into a time machine.
Next, I wanted to see if I could find any video footage. YouTube was my go-to for this. I typed in “Kevin Nugent goals” and crossed my fingers. A few grainy videos popped up! The quality was terrible, of course, but it was still cool to see him in action. He looked like a proper grafter, always putting in a shift. Not the most technically gifted, maybe, but definitely someone who gave it his all.
I even tried digging around for some stats. Sites like Soccerbase and Transfermarkt are usually pretty good for that kind of thing. Managed to find his appearances, goals, even some info on his transfers. It all painted a picture of a solid, dependable player who had a decent career.
One thing I always try to do is check Wikipedia. Usually has basic info. Searched for “Kevin Nugent” and there he was. A concise summary of his career, teams he played for, and some of his achievements. Perfect for a quick overview.

Honestly, the whole thing took me a good few hours, but it was time well spent. It’s fascinating to dive into these forgotten stories and piece together the careers of these guys. They might not be household names, but they played a part in the game we all love. Plus, it’s always good to give the old brain a workout!
