BoneDog Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 The magnificence of what Jamie has achieved cannot be stressed enough. Sweet goal for the occasion aswell. I can't remember being so happy about something in football for a long time and don't think I'd have cared if we went on to lose 5-1 yesterday after he'd smoshed the Prem record. Nice to see a graceful congratulatory tweet from Ruud at the time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Even more amazing when you consider that our games are 93 minutes long whilst Van Nistelroys were 98. Also, van nistelrooy played in one of the strongest Man U sides ever. Not underestimating our squad but for Vardy, who 3 1/2 years ago was playing Park football and do it in the modern EPL is just ridiculous. Also wasn't it only 1 penalty in the 11 goals, how many was it for RVN? What is Vardy worth now in the market? 30mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Incredible, truly incredible. It is such a massive achievement and hats off to Fuchs for the perfect assist too. Wonder when it'll stop? I've got a feeling he'll go another 4 or 5 games in a row to make it incredibly unlikely for it to ever be topped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Don't know if its been mentioned but Vardy's celebration - "me....all fu34%ng me..." It looked like he was saying that in response to someone or something that has been said...the passion just spilled out after he scored. What an incredible achievement. He seemed to be limping during the second half a bit but still wanted to carry on! Another player may have just thought "id scored the one so i'll save myself for the next game" Amazing.....just amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Don't know if its been mentioned but Vardy's celebration - "me....all fu34%ng me..." It looked like he was saying that in response to someone or something that has been said...the passion just spilled out after he scored. It was almost exactly what he was shouting after his goal at West Brom last season. He said in one of his interviews last night that he got a bit carried away which I thought was quite revealing. He still seems pretty humble given his achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Just thinking about the record today and if you look at it RVN did it across two seasons so had 3 months off mid way through. Sturridge in typical Sturridge fashion missed games through injury for his 8. So the record in the premier league for consecutive games has been well and truly smashed. When you think of the quality of striker that has played in the premeier league with the quality of player around them, to think Vardy has smashed it is amazing.

Beliall Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 THE LATEST LEICESTER CITY FC NEWS STORIES Jamie Vardy's first club Stocksbridge Park Steels to name main stand after Leicester's record-breaking goal-scorerJamie Vardy's first club Stocksbridge Park Steels are planning to name their main stand after the Leicester City and England striker whose rags-to-riches story has captured the public imagination. The EvoStik League team are expected to rubberstamp the proposal at their main committee meeting next week in honour of the local youngster who spent seven years with them before going on to hit the big time. Chairman Allen Bethell said: 'Jamie played with us for a long time. He was in the reserves for three years and when he got called up for the first team, he missed the first training session because he was a bit frightened,. 'He turned up for the second one though and was one of the best players I'd seen at his level. 'We got £15,000 plus add-ons from Halifax Town when he left which was a considerable amount for us, and the publicity we've received since from his achievements has been incredible. 'He brought his young daughter to a match here a couple of years ago and I think he'll come back again soon for a television documentary that's being made about his life and career.' Sheffield-born Vardy went to Stocksbridge, a steeltown seven miles north-west of the city, at 16 having been rejected by Sheffield Wednesday. Incredibly, it was only for the last two years that he was a first-team regular, scoring against FC United in 2009, five years before he scored against Manchester United. His development after Stocksbridge continued at Halifax, Fleetwood and now Leicester City. He is the leading goalscorer in the Premier League this season and has won four England caps under Roy Hodgson. Bethell said the story of the former factory worker-turned-Premier League star has lifted the whole town which lies on the edge of the Peak District. 'The steelworks used to employ eight thousand people, now it's about 500,' he said. 'Jamie wouldn't have earned anything at all from football when he was in our reserves, it was just a chance to play with his mates. 'The most he was paid was £100-a-week. It's wonderful what he's achieved.' Stockbridge's three-sided Bracken Moor ground holds 2,200 and the stand which is soon to carry Vardy's name has 450 seats.

GaelicFox Posted 29 November 2015 Share Posted 29 November 2015 Jamie Vardy has broken Ruud van Nistelrooy's Premier League record after scoring in his 11th successive game - and now stands one behind the all-time record of 12 held by Irishman Jimmy Dunne. The Dubliner set the record in the 1931/32 season with 18 goals in 12 successive games for Sheffield United. With headlines often dominated by 'Premier League-era' stats, the pre-war exploits of players like Dunne are often overlooked. Born in Ringsend in 1905, Dunne came from a Gaelic football background before reportedly becoming exposed to soccer during a time spent interned in the Curragh and Portlaoise prison for alleged 'Republican sympathies'. By 1923 he had begun his football career with Shamrock Rovers and then moved to the English fourth division to play with with Brighton. Dunne joined Sheffield in 1926 for £800 and by the end of the 1929/30 season he had reached the top of British football. He was top scorer in England with 36 goals - even scoring four times in successive games against Leicester City and West Ham. Then in 1930/31, Dunne hit 41 league goals, 50 in all competitions, the most ever scored by an Irishman in top-flight English football. The following year, the Dubliner set the record for scoring in consecutive games when he scored 18 in 12 games between 21 October 1931 and 1 January 1932. That record still stands. His goalscoring exploits soon attracted the attention of Arsenal and Dunne went on to play four seasons in London with the Gunners. He won the First Division title in 1933/34, the same year that his old club Sheffield United were relegated. The period of success at Arsenal was brief however. In the years to come, Dunne would be eclipsed at the club by the arrival of legendary striker Ted Drake. In an era long before squad rotation, and despite being regarded as one of the best players in the league, Dunne would only make two appearances in the following two seasons. By 1936 his time in the English top flight was at an end. Dunne spent one season at Southampton, then in Division 2, and finished the season as their top scorer with 14 goals in 36 appearances, saving the club from relegation. In 1937 he refused a new contract and decided to return home to to finish his career back at Shamrock Rovers as a player-manager. Jimmy Dunne's international career with Ireland was not without incident either. He was one of only a few to play with both a Northern Irish IFA XI and for the Irish Free State FAI team and amassed 22 goals across both teams. The most notable moment in an Irish shirt came in 1939. Dunne was part of the Irish team which was the last to visit Nazi Germany before the invasion of Poland and the onset of World War II. The players were instructed to give the Nazi salute - Jimmy Dunne famously was one of the few to refuse to raise his hand before the game in Bremen. The war years saw Dunne make a few appearances for a third Irish team, this time a League of Ireland XI, before he moved into management at Rovers full time Dunne would manage Shamrock Rovers twice, either side of a spell with Bohemians, before a heart attack in 1949 saw him die at the young age of just 44.
