The Legend!

132 goals in total now. He could still break into the top ten of the Premier League All-Time Scorers. Currently, Michael Owen sits in 10th with 150 goals. Difficult but possible.
 
We all know that his pace has very slightly dwindled, but have a player or two around him next season with decent technical ability & it’ll be all good.
Maddison will be key obviously but if we could somehow get eriksson from Brentford I’d have no doubts he’d get too & past owen, even maybe sniffing defoe & fowler territory.
 
Lost in admiration to a player I had deep doubts about initially, but after the first year has improved beyond measure and its a pleasure to say how wrong I was, now he has slowed slightly his composure on the ball and his all round vision have come to the fore along with surprising technical abilities
Should have had a bloody sight more caps to his name than the few he's had but we know who's fault that is.

Legend is an oft used word for many who do not deserve that accolade but in his case it is fitting for his determination to prove he was much better than a non-League player
 
Even made Garth Crooks team of the week along with Fofana, here's what he said about Vardy

Vardy: Vardy's midweek performance against Norwich and his two goals against Watford suggests his wife's well-publicised court case with Coleen Rooney didn't have the slightest impact on him. Why should it when he's such a professional? Vardy seems back to his goalscoring best after a difficult season interrupted by injury.

Did you know? Vardy became the first player to score two or more goals in back-to-back Premier League appearances for Leicester. Aged 35 years 124 days, he was the second-oldest player to do so overall in the competition, behind only Youri Djorkaeff for Bolton in May 2004 (36y 60d).
 
What was noticeable yesterday watching him live ( and I’d forgotten this as he’s been out for so long) was how good he is at laying the ball off, shrugging off defenders and tackling back. He’s become such a clever player. My favourite bit of him is how he’s evolved with age. He truly is the LCFC GOAT for me, and that’s for someone whose been watching us since 1966
 
There are no peers in my estimation , he has through determination to succeed become even at his age a centre forward to be feared .....plenty of centre halves have said they do not like to play against him, there are plenty of strikers who would love to have half of his skills....... that trapping of the ball for his first at Southampton last year on a rain soaked surface and the flick around to his right foot, before he hammered it, was sublime, the centre half looked astonished
For a man who looked gangly when he first arrived to what we have now is no mean testament to his learning skills
 
My favorite Vardy goal at the Baggies ..ball played up to him in the air instinctively hit on the volley over his shoulder in to the back of the net

Pure Magic !!!

Great goal. Funnily enough my favourite is at the very same ground in the 15/16 season.
The breakaway involving him drinkwater & kante was sublime. Remember him making Evans look like he had a parachute on .
 
Sorry - but I always thought the Great Escape started a week earlier than the WBA win.
It was the win against West Ham at home. Andy King late goal.
 
He’s such an instinctively clever player too. Look at his second yesterday. He just knew Cathcart was going to screw it up, was on it like a flash and the finish was deadly. I, like Kendall, was a doubter at the start, but have no hesitation with his GOAT status now, certainly in my lifetime.
