Jamie Vardy's Foxes career is coming to an abrupt end today, Sunday, May 18.
The most amazing Fox to ever play for Leicester City Football Club will feature in his final this weekend, at his King Power home. And he's almost done it all while on Filbert Way. From lifting the maiden FA Cup trophy with LCFC, to winning the Community Shield as a Leicester player. Playing all around Europe was a true highlight too. Although nothing compares to his and City's 2015/16 Premier League triumph.
The striker also played for his country, England. JV9 notably notched a decent scoring record with the Three Lions, regardless of limited opportunities as Harry Kane's capable understudy. The pair played together at City as well. Anyway, what a career the notorious centre forward has enjoyed at every level. He really did compete at pretty much every standard: non-league, fifth division, League 1, Championship, the top flight and international football. Wow. A truly irrepressible one of a kind!
Vardy's Foxes finale actually begins soon. So let's now learn some lesser known Jamie Vardy facts prior to his last outing in Leicestershire vs Ipswich Town. Of course, the 38-year-old won't play versus Bournemouth when the season really ends. Therefore this is our only remaining chance to enjoy his presence. And, hopefully with any luck, we'll celebrate his 200th Leicester goal. Here are five Facts you probably didn't know about the LCFC icon.
