I remember being terrified the "big boys" were going to come in and dismantle the squad...literally couldn't sleep after Arsenal triggered Vardy's release clause!

It would left such a bitter taste. The one player I was hoping with all my heart not to leave.

 

Arsenal would have won a title with him in my opinion.

As others have said I’d love him to finish his career here then become part of the back room staff . Rodgers has already stated he’s a scholar of the game and loves the tactical side of things .  To have him helping young strikers we may actually produce one from the youth team at last .

That's what made the Kante departure so much easier to take for me. Anybody but our Vards!

This might be hyperbole but I honesty think he's one of the most iconic players in premier league history

It shouldn't even be a debate. Clearly Vards is better than Drogba.

 

More goals in less minutes in a shitter team after less elite level football. Its not difficult.

Why the comparison. Both great players.

 

Drogba probably didn't take as many penalties though because Lampard took them all.

Still feel like he's overlooked by the wider media. But if you ask any fan of any club whether they like him or not they say he's a top player.

 

Also I can't think of many players that have been so important to one club? Banged in goals to get us promoted, dragged us out of relegation (that goal at West Bromley in particular), was super human in the title win and then has gone on to break records all over the place. World class, iconic and the greatest of all time

When your best mate gets a steady girl friend-

She might let him out for the day but forget the trip to the Reeperbahn.

The best you can hope for long term is an invite to the wedding before they f off to live in a semi detatched in some posh Birmingham suburb.

No hyperbole there.

I wanted to say that he he clearly is but not getting the same media attention as some other greats, sort of contradicts the definition of iconic

 

He will be though, one of the most iconic players in all English League history,

 

However, he will fail to meet at least one of definitions of iconic on google

   The statue better not be conventional

 

EDIT  Nor Greek, a naked Vardy doing the eagle would be just too wierd

Vardy maybe underrated by some but surely not by Leicester fans. Plenty of pundits do rate him like Ian Wright who I think sees something of himself in the way Jamie's career progressed. Can't say it enough times he is our best ever in my opinion.

6 months ago I was walking down Gracechurch St in the City of London, Not the place you'd expect to see a Leicester scarf but a little chap was wearing it accompanied by Mum, Dad and Sister. After acknowledging a fellow fan it turns out his family had no connection with Leicester but their 11 year old son's favourite player was Jamie Vardy and as a result he'd become "one of us"

 

Respect to the little fella and I wonder if any other player in our history has ever had this power.

I think that's the difference, pretty much all of the MSM recognise how good Vardy is, but they just don't talk about Vardy and Leicester enough to have it rammed down your throats like Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Mount, Trent, Saka. It has the flip side of when he does go on a barren run he doesn't get all the back page headlines suggesting he's past it.

I very much doubt it except maybe foreign players from more niche countries like Mahrez and Daka

[Ric Flair]

In the midst of all the frustration that we're the pits and can't sell or buy anyone, you'll do well to remember that this geezer is still our main man and will absolutely kill it again next season.

 

It could arguably be his last here so whatever shit you've got going on, park it and soak up this coming year as we'll never ever see anything like this man again. He's changed our world, it's been a privilege to watch him for a decade.

 

Be thankful you've been in love, even if you never love again. Absolute bagsman.

Always worth a good Vardy goal compilation. Scored some great goals early on.

Need to get that level back out of Ricardo again. His link up is incredible

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that. The skill of the man is just incredible. How he's managed to adjust his game for the better as the seasons rolled by.

[lcfc sheff]

Keep him fit and he’ll bag 20 league goals next year 

[HybridFox]

Just want to see him surpass Michael Owen on that list. Would be a great finish to his career to beat someone who didn't think he was a natural finisher.

[He aint bald]

Watching Vardy goal compilations, always gotta check the video aint on a loop, goes on forever

[foxfanazer]

For the average football fan he'll be remembered for his blistering pace and winding up opposition fans but yiu just have to look at the variety of goals he's scored for us. He really can do it all!

Apart from his volley in 2016 against liverpool, has he hit a screamer from outside the box? 
also, I don’t recall him setting himself and passing one into the corner from around the D with a defender infront of him ?
