Vardy is the icon of the 'human victory' and the 'Living Legend' of Leicester. Starting his career in the eighth division, he grew up step by step and wore a Leicester jersey in 2012. Vardy, who immediately scored 16 goals in the 2013-2014 season and led Leicester to the championship (second division) championship, kept the front line of Leicester with a steady performance.
I wrote down a fairy tale. Vardy, who scored 24 goals under Claudio Ranieri in the 2015-2016 season, led Leicester to the fairytale English Premier League (EPL) championship along with N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez. At the time, Vardy surprised everyone by setting a record of 11 consecutive goals. Since then, Vardy has continued to play steadily, and in the 2019-2020 season, he became the top scorer with 23 goals, making him the most powerful scorer in EPL history. With 143 goals overall in the EPL, he ranked 15th in all-time scoring.
However, Vardy and Leicester were relegated after failing to overcome their worst slump in the 2022-2023 season. He immediately won the championship title in the 2023-2024 season and succeeded in promotion, but confirmed his relegation again this season and fell back to the second division in one season. As for Vardy, his team was demoted at the time he had to make a choice as a player, so his worries are bound to grow. If Van Nistelrooy leaves the team, he is expected to decide his future according to the coach of the next season.

Meanwhile, Vardy has also mocked Tottenham fans in this season's match against Tottenham, which has returned to the boomerang of relegation.
In January, Vardy opened a finger in front of Leicester's away fans after scoring, pointing to the Premier League mark on his right arm. It was a jester that reminded Leicester of their EPL victory in the 2015-2016 season. After that, he pointed to the area where Tottenham fans sat and made the number '0' with his hands. It mocked Tottenham's situation, which has not won a championship for a long time. However, due to the relegation this season, it is difficult for both Leicester and Vardy to expect to face Tottenham next season.
