Jamie Vardy - Goodbye to our GOAT

Charlotte FC.

 

Steve Walsh, Dean Smith, Christian Fuchs and a final pay day. He'll likely win the MLS with them, and it'll all be captured for Netflix.

Great article. Of those 26 England caps with 7 goals does not show the full story. Only six full games for England. Maybe good for Leicester but under used by England?

Totally. The calibre of opposition he scored against for England speaks well. Italy, Spain, Netherlands & Germany in there alongside the others 

[Red Squirrel]

We can never replace The Goat... we'd need a flock of them. Anyone spot the deep fake?

[filbertway]

It would be pretty funny to see Vards score for Wrexham in front of the kop and give it the beans. Purely morbid curiosity of being on the other side of his shenanigans

I am sure in the immediate we will recount the goals and the football side of it. We recount his total dislike of anything with a snobbish attitude or the bigger clubs. 

 

However it's sinking with me how much this blokes time at Leicester pretty much chronicles a chapter of my life. Within that chapter, he managed to provide me with memories I'll never forget. Events and trips with my family and friends that his efforts and goals managed to provide. I've somehow saw our greatest in a clubs 130 years history.

@Union FS any chance we can get one final TIFO for him for final game? 

Keep your fingers crossed.

I love the "this could be anything" followed by him reading a statement word for word from an autocue 😂

[Foxes1]

His first competitive goal for Leicester City, I can remember travelling down to Devon for the game.

 

Jamie Vardy netted his first goal for Leicester as Nigel Pearson's Foxes cruised to a 4-0 victory at League Two outfit Torquay United.

Vardy, whose goals fired Fleetwood into the Football League last season, began to pay back his £1million transfer fee with his first goal for Leicester. Vardy wrapped up a comfortable victory in the 77th minute, heading home a majestic diagonal cross by the impressive Ben Marshall as Leicester cruised into the second round of the Capital One Cup. But City were home and dry long before then. Torquay held them for 20 minutes, before Lloyd Dyer punished a moment's hesitancy by home defender Joe Oastler to open the scoring in the 21st minute. Marshall curled a 25-yard free-kick over the Torquay wall and into the top left-hand corner in the 33rd minute to extend the lead for the visitors. Midfielder Matty James finished off a perfectly timed through-ball by the on-song Jermaine Beckford four minutes into the second half as Leicester went further ahead. Only an offside flag stopped Vardy scoring his second and City's fifth near the end but by then the game was long over as a contest.

That makes a lot of sense! I'd imagine they could pay him a good wage too. 

[BillyFOX12]

£1m - quite possibly the best buy of the century!

Retire the 9 shirt.

I'd still clap him 👏

Thanks for the greatest memories me or any other leicester fan have ever witnessed.

Shame it had to be this year as the people who run the club have let it go to ruin and the worst season in recent times.

But thank you Jamie.

Ps King Power do one thing right and make it a massive send off for the goat 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Goodbye to our Greatest Player of all Time.  Thanks for the trophies and it has been a joy seeing your whole hearted performances.  You are an inspiration to all youngsters with the motto “never give up and anything is possible.”

 

You made me proud of my club and I will

miss you.  Good luck for the future.

And build a statue. Just get it done ffs

[lcfcsnow]

Retiring numbers is tinpot. Man Utd wouldn't have had Cantona Beckham or Ronaldo following on from Best having the number 7 if they'd retired it.

Statue yes, retire shirt no. That should only be done in circumstances similar to no6 at West Ham regarding Bobby Moore.

yeah but they are all better than the predecessor and miles ahead of Vardy in terms of status.

 

Leicester will never have a better no.9 and there is no one at the club ready to step up and no one good enough we could realistically bring in.

 

I doubt we will give it anyone else in the short term even if we dont actually retire it.

I’m certain that the remaining home matches will be sold out; people will come from all over to pay their respect to our best ever player. Clever on the part of the management, the ****ing nincompoops that they are.

It's north American, so should be resisted. It's bad enough having squad numbers at all. 

[Chown]

Greatest Leicester player of all time. I haven’t lived local for many years but I went to the 2015/16 home game against Palace when he scored when we won 1-0 (halfway through his record breaking run) and it was a big three points and my favourite memory ⚽️

I'll have to retire my Vardy Pardy shirt.
