That goal v Liverpool
Great escape v West Brom
Over the shoulder v West Brom
11 games in a row v Man Utd
Goal v Sevilla

Absolute club legend

 

[Miles Away]

The lob against Spurs was unbelievable technically.

 

[glyn]

Absolutely love this. Well done LCFC

Absolutely love this. Well done LCFC

Just watched that. I almost felt emotional.

Vardy has been a constant for my kids for several years and going to be to them what Sep Smith, Gordon Banks, Frank Worthington and Gary Lineker was to so many other generations. He IS Leicester City in this era of our great club and I will be forever grateful for the immense, incredible, unforgettable memories he has given me. I truly hope he will end his career with us, not sure I could bear to see him elsewhere.

I feel exactly the same about Big Wes

 

[homer]

He is the finest striker I’ve ever seen play for this Club, and there’s been a few good uns

Love him

 

[Blue Maniac]

And one final stat - 35 ahead as our all time Premier League goalscorer

Vardy 74
Mahrez 39
Izzet 33
Heskey 33

Bet the other three never catch him.

Congrats to Jamie on his century! I went to look on YouTube for compilation of Vardy goals in previous seasons. As the commentator said yesterday - 'he's like a whippet', but it's more than just speed, he strikes the ball with some real power. Let's hope he continues his run and still has a few more years with us

'Rodgers' affection shows Vardy is crucial for Leicester'

Affection so rarely seen under Puel, new boss Rodgers has shown why Vardy is central to Leicester's plans going forward, writes Phil McNulty.

I love this man, I knew when we went up he'd thrive in this league and he hasn't disappointed. We have the leagues record holder for scoring in consecutive games (hasn't been beaten since has it?) at our club!
Integral during THAT season and since, what are we going to do when he finishes playing? He's almost irreplaceable, I genuinely can't think of a player (who'd realistically come to us) I'd rather have than Jamie.
The Liverpool goal for me I think, but I also love the volley against Chelsea from Mahrez's pass.

 

[Graz]

Vardy is now firmly my favourite player to ever play for us. A true legend of this football club already, and I feel like he has another chapter of his incredible personal story to write.

His best goal for us has to be that Liverpool volley. Unreal finish. If that was an RVP or Rooney, we'd still see it constantly.

In terms of my favourite goal he's scored, it's too hard to say. Because there's been so, so many important ones.

We love you Vardy!

We do, don't we? Surely you've got a shortcut to the video clip on your desktop like the rest of us!

Wasn’t sure you knew it had happened...

I think Vardy's best goal technically is the one against West Brom a season or two ago, where he caught it first time on his weaker foot having been lofted over his head from behind. You won't see Messi or Ronaldo hit a better or more difficult volley... that's the goal that screams world class.

But Michael Owen said he isn't a natural goalscorer...

And Glen Hoddle said the same of Michael Owen...

Was god telling him that?
