adminThe story of Jamie Vardy at Leicester City remains one of the greatest football fairytales ever witnessed in England.
Signed from non-league side Fleetwood Town in 2012 for just £1 million, Vardy went from an unknown striker to becoming the heartbeat of Leicester’s golden era.
He played a crucial role in helping the Foxes win the Championship in 2014 before writing his name into football history during the unforgettable 2015/16 season, scoring 24 league goals as Leicester shocked the world by winning the Premier League title against all odds.
Vardy’s importance to Leicester only grew stronger over the years as he became the club’s modern-day icon.
The striker broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches, later won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2020, and helped Leicester lift the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2021.
By the time he left the club in 2025, Vardy had scored 200 goals in 500 appearances across 13 unforgettable years at the King Power Stadium, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players in Leicester City history.
Following his emotional Leicester departure, Vardy moved to Italy to join US Cremonese, where he has continued to show flashes of the quality that made him a Premier League legend.
The veteran forward has already produced important performances in Serie A and even became the first English player to win Serie A Player of the Month after a strong run of form earlier this season.
Recent reports had linked him with a sensational return to Leicester amid the club’s difficult situation, but journalist Ben Jacobs has stated that there is currently “nothing” in those claims, with Vardy’s main focus remaining on helping Cremonese avoid relegation before making any future decision.
