He’s an unbelievable footballer.
Underrated by everyone but Leicester fans.

Ture. I'd like to see how many of his goals are actually the type of goal other fans think he only scores.

They all have a notion in their heads that he isn’t a natural finisher and just twats it. I’m not sure Leicester have ever had a better finisher (apart from The Yak, obviously).
He’s an outrageous talent.

That’s largely Michael Owen’s fault. Twat

Yep. The argument made for him not starting games at Euros was he only scored by running in behind defenders. Even on the evening he scored that backheel against Germany. ****ing idiots the lot of them.

I also think Vardy contributes way, way more than goals. He sets the tempo for work rate, rustles the opposition players and fans into making mistakes and puts every opposition defence on edge all the time. Like Kante, some of his best work is not even an action. It’s just the fact that he closes opposition down quickly, so they assume he’s coming, panic and make mistakes.
Magnificent. Not another player like him anywhere.

Amazing to think he once told Craig Shakespear he didn't believe he was good enough to play in the championship division and wanted to go back to Fleetwood!

Now into the top 40 all time PL scorers with 85.
Ahead of Ronaldinho and Tevez, level with Torres, Saha and Hazard.
Just two behind Bergkamp and 3 behind the mighty name of Kevin Davies (Incredible he’s so high)
And as someone on Twitter spotted
JV 183 games, 85 goals
Ronaldo 196 games, 84 goals
