Jamie Vardy is known as Leicester City's greatest ever player. The LCFC G.O.A.T. One of the best to ever do it in the Premier League - and only with little old Leicester!
But the ex-England centre forward left the Foxes at the end of last season, to the accompaniment of the Blue Army's collective tears. The legend scored an astonishing 200 goals in 500 games for the King Power side.
The symmetry of that record always strikes this writer as an unfathomable aligning of the stars. Unreal; similarly to the incredible 2015/16 campaign overall.
Okay, that sets the scene of the Sheffield-born man's affinity with the Leicestershire club. The greatest.

Where is "Vards" now? Playing in Serie A with Cremonese of the Lombardy region. They are also in a severe relegation battle in Italy's premier division.
I Grigiorossi are definitely in big trouble in their league. Maybe if they are relegated, Vardy will return.
Although, City supporters shouldn't hold their breath on that one while Jon Rudkin remains on Filbert Way. That's if rumours (along with our own insights) are accurate.
JV10 (he changed number) also threw cold water over the possibility of future management. However, Vardy's response represented all Leicester fans when asked of the LE2 outfit's terrible term.

​When queried on the Foxes' recent trajectory, Vardy eschewed diplomatic platitudes for the raw, visceral honesty that defined his tenure. His reaction was a mirror held up to the fan base's soul.

It was a mixture of profound exhaustion and the stinging ache of watching a legacy drift. A moment of stark, unvarnished solidarity; a silent acknowledgement of the chaos currently enveloping the club.
In that single, poignant exchange, the footballer proved that while his boots now tread Italian soil, his heart remains inextricably tethered to the King Power. Come back whenever, Jamie!
