The most underrated Premier League striker of all time: Jamie Vardy

When fans and pundits alike list their greatest Premier League strikers ever, the usual suspects of Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry will appear. Some even like to throw in names such as Jermaine Defoe or Robin Van Persie. But there is one name that tends to elude people’s lists, despite having all the accolades and the goal scoring resume to go with it, that man is Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy.

It has been ten years since the South Yorkshireman first signed for the Foxes and is his eighth year in the top flight, but still at the ripe age of 35, Vardy continues to avoid father time. While continuing to play at the highest level with a pinnacle level of production.

City fans for years have been very tired of hearing the age-old clichés surrounding LCFC’s No.9: That he only scores goals from balls in behind, and that he relies solely on electric pace to score goals. Anyone who has watched Vardy play regularly during his career will know this is completely ignorant and actually; that his entire game has developed exponentially since he made that £1million move a decade ago today.
