Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[David Hankey]

Just think how many goals he would have scored had Brendan been here at the start of the season, and for that matter where Leicester City would be in the legaue. I tend not to use the word "legend" but without doubt 'Reg' is an outstanding player with terrific talent and I am glad I don't have to face him on the field of play.

Don’t forget he loves scoring against the top 6, so with Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea to play, let’s hope he bags one or two 

[FoxFossil]

2 more goals to be highest scoring England player this season. No wonder Southgate was checking him out today!

I said it in the match thread but I don't mind repeating myself.

 

After all I don't mind repeating myself.

 

After struggling with Puel's methods by his own admission, Vardy is only three goals away from the golden boot as it stands.

 

Vardy has scored 9 goals in the last 10 games, only missing out against Burnley and Newcastle.  If you think how phenomenal his Premier League scoring record was (11 in 11), he nearly gone and repeated it.

 

I wish he was 23.

 

I dont!! He was crap at 23...

[CollinsLCFC]

And Ian Stringer was inferring that he would pick Giroud up front over Vardy if we had him, after today's game.

 

Until he realised he was sounding like a complete muppet and was seconds away from being outed on it, he said 'ill play them both'

[Illusion35]

My favourite ever Leicester player. Wears his heart on his sleeve, always gives 100% passion and commitment to the team. Agree with some of the other posters above that he is better than several of the top 6 strikers ?

[shailen]

He is a world class striker that has it all. I cannot think of a weakness in his game. Above all, he is an intelligent player and his movement is incredible. We have been so lucky and are still lucky to have a player like him at the club. 

[bovril]

I think you could argue he's our best ever. He's scored more goals for us than anybody since 1961 and it's inarguable that such goal-scoring records are harder to come by in the modern game. Added to the fact that he was the top scorer in our title-winning season, surely nobody has been a greater number nine for Leicester than Vardy.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Mr. Leicester City as far as I am concerned.

[LondonFox1884]

Where would we be without him?

 

End of debate.

 

Absolute legend and everything that is good about LCFC encapsulated in a single player.

[mucfox]

Jamie is a phenomenon - 16 goals in 35 PL games, 27 of them with Puel's AVS Anti-Vardy-System.

 

Vards has shown it to all critics again and again, and especially to this Frenchman, how good he really is...

 

Jamie, you are the greatest

He was? 

 

I know they left the door open for an England return and with Kane's injury he could get the call.

Probably would give that honour to Alan Birchenall; given his numerous off-the-field duties he has done for the club, and raising £1m+ to local charities via his end-of-season runs over many years.

 

But Vardy certainly deserves utmost respect for what he's achieved personally and his contributions via both the Pearson and without no doubt at all Ranieri's first-ever season at the club.

[Goober]

I implore you all to vote for him as our POTY. Give the man 1 ffs. Nearly bagged 20 again in a team that was dogshit until March

I'm sure there were other English players he was checking out . Southgate wouldn't have been there for Vardy anyway; he knows Vardy is retired and probably won't be able to coax him out of it.

Plenty of other players on the pitch to look out for for Southgate.

I like that this thread topic has been introduced.

 

We should not take this man for granted -  let's savour every second of his time with us.

 

By Miles and miles and miles our best striker ever. 

 

 

[Guest Col city fan]

Brilliant, brilliant striker

Proper legend 

[Stevosevic]

I hope he knows how much we love him and that he is probably our greatest ever player. 

 

What an icon.

[HighPeakFox]

Hope I meet him one day so I can thank him, and tell him how much I admire what he's achieved.

[whetstonefox]

Be nice if we could make one of the cup finals over the next couple of seasons be great to see him score a Wembley winner 

[Hollyfox]

Massive shame we Still haven't got a proper song that echoes around the ground and everyone sings it. 

 

We really, really should have something better than the Vardy Party one by now

 

I can't think of one though?

[Fightforever]

we won't have a striker of his calibre and more crucially loyalty for a very long time.

[splinterdream]

Jamie Vardy is the greatest
