In no order…

 

QPR away in the 2013/14 season. 
Goal kick, flick on from Nuge, Vardy scores a hell of a finish. That, for me, was the moment we knew he was real quality. 

 

The Liverpool volley. 
 

It’s eleven, it’s heaven. 
 

Smashing the rainbow corner flag. 
 

Every time he smashed into a defender. 
 

First first prem goal vs Man Utd 
 

Being insanely loyal and saying no to Arsenal.

The Liverpool goal for me.

Also I was at the Torquay League Cup game the night he scored his 1st goal for us. What I remember most about is Jermaine Beckford absolutely beaming with a smile wide with joy for Vardy getting off the mark.

So many great moments, but the image of Jamie lifting the Premier League trophy confirmed that dreams can come true. Thank you Jamie!

From completely personal perspective having witnessed the games, here are some of my picks:

 

1) His first prem goal vs Man United 14/15 and overall performance that day. Absolute pandemonium when it went in and truly announced himself on the biggest stage. They could not live with him and probably ended the United careers of 2-3 players that day!

 

2) Early goals and hattrick vs Man City 16/17 at home. Didn't have a great start as defending champions before coming up against Pep Guardiola for the first time. And absolutely blew his side to smithereens! Best part is years later he went on to do it again at the Etihad lol

 

3) It's eleven it's heaven:scarf:, what a moment in history 15/16. And although didn't obviously hear the Martin Tyler commentary at the ground until watching the highlights later, it will forever be etched in memory

 

4) Preston away last season 23/24. That was a brilliant away end sealing the Championship title. Seeing him smash the ball into the roof of the net true Vards style in front of the fans. There was such a good feeling throughout that season and have fond memories despite us undoing almost everything this year.

 

5) West Brom away 17/18 - goal of the season. As a moment, I'd probably pick the great escape winner but this was my one and only visit to the Hawthorns. An absolute banker of a fixture for him to score in but to see him score the PL goal of the season with that volley over the shoulder on his weaker foot from Riyad's wonderball from his own half was sublime. 

 

6) Spurs away last game of season 17/18.  I know we lost this game but unique opportunity to visit Wembley with Leicester in the Prem and witness an incredible game that we should have won. Kane scored a couple but Vards delivered the MOTM performance leading into the world cup (where Southgate wasted him!) When he scored the opener and also pulling us back to 4-4, great moments in the away end!

 

7) England vs Wales at Euro 2016. Wanted to mention this although I only saw it on the tele, I have never cheered an England goal so loud! To see a Leicester player score for the national side and make an impact in such a pivotal moment of the game to equalise was just magical. My first ever England game incidentally was the friendly vs Spain at Wembley in 16/17 where Vards scored with a diving header then did the mannequin celebration! We've had a few England reps over the years but it genuinely seemed unthinkable it could happen during our decade in the wilderness. The buzz when he was called up was indescribable and remain convinced we'd have won a tournament or two if they used him properly :rolleyes:

Favourite funny moment - the Eagle flap in front of the Palace fans after scoring 

Favourite  goal - Liverpool volley, I was in block H about level with him so was lucky enough to have a great over view of the goal. Didnt celebrate straight away as I was mesmerised as to what I had just witnessed. Had to drive down to London for work after the match and talkshite were all over it.

My favourite moments. I remember saying to my mate at the time, best player on the planet at the moment. 
 

The audacity to run over PVA like he’s some kind of child, round the keeper and a lot it in. Different levels z
