The most underrated Premier League striker of all time: Jamie Vardy
This is another great example of why the City man is so underrated, just take look at the who’s records he is breaking, players that many would consider to be superior to him. Though records like these would suggest otherwise.
Vardy sits 14th all time with regard to netting in the EPL, with a sensational 132. He is only 18 away from Michael Owen in 10th, so it is very likely that the 35-year-old will finish his career in the top 10 If he stays full fit, he could potentially achieve this next season. While in conjunction having an outstanding goal to game ratio of 0.49. Just to put that in context of how good that is, he has a greater goal ratio than six of that top ten. That record is greater than Owen, Robbie Fowler and even Andy Cole; players considered legends of the game.

Even without factoring in his personal accolades, and ones from Football Writers – Player of the Season, English top-flight Player of the Season, Golden Boot winner, 4x Player of the Month and of course a Premier League medal – Leicester’s goalscorer is without a doubt a dead set to be inducted into the EPL Hall of Fame once he hangs up his boots. Which will finally reveal to pundits and fans how they underrated him so much for so long. He will be forever immortalised in the eyes of City fans, and sure enough, the rest of football as well.
