Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers has come out to say that Jamie Vardy is a Premier League icon. This is coming as the striker marks 10 years at the club, and the fans have been reacting.
According to him, coming into professional football at 25 and scoring his first Premier League goal at 27, before going on to score several goals for Leicester City definitely makes him a player to remember.
Rodgers added that players like Ian Wright have had similar impact in the past, but Vardy’s story is unique.
His words, “I think he’s a real icon of Leicester and of the league.”
“I think his journey, coming into professional football at 25 and scoring his first Premier League goal at 27, to go on and score the goals he has and to have the impact he has had, he is such a unique player,”
“We’ve seen it before with other players like Ian Wright coming through and playing at the highest level. But Jamie’s story, from playing FA Cup qualifiers to going on to win the FA Cup and win the Premier League, to playing in the Champions League, he really is a great of this football club but also the Premier League.”
“You put him up there with the top strikers.”
