The Foxes are currently sitting top of the second tier, as they look to make an instant return to the Premier League after relegation last year.
The Foxes have dazzled the Championship this season under manager Enzo Maresca, and could even go and beat Reading FC’s points record of 106 with ease given their form.
Leicester have a number of brilliant striking options, with the likes of Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho starring this season.
But one player who continues to perform is Jamie Vardy.
Vardy’s legendary Leicester career
Vardy made the move to Leicester back in 2012 from Fleetwood Town, having just scored 31 goals in the then-Conference Premier. He joined for a non-league transfer record of £1 million.
In his second season at the club, the Foxes won the Championship, ending a ten-year spell outside the top flight. Vardy was named the club’s Player’s Player of the Season for the campaign.
Their first season back in the Premier League ended up in one of the greatest escapes in the history of the top flight, with the Foxes picking up 22 points from April 4th to secure a 14th place finish.
The next season would arguably be the most unexpected story in the history of football.
Leicester would go on to win the Premier League for the first time in the club’s history, with Vardy a key part of the title win. He ended the season as the second-highest scorer, behind Harry Kane by one goal. He scored 24 goals, playing in 36 of 38 Premier League games.
He also equalled Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s record of consecutive Premier League matches scored in, scoring in 11 games in a row.
Vardy would then continue scoring in the years up until their relegation last season, scoring 17 goals or more each year, before scoring just six in that relegation campaign.
Vardy has so far continued his goalscoring prowess despite the drop in level, scoring eight goals in 20 games, nine of which have been starts.
