[@seank3828]

Whether he is or not what he has done for Leicester City will never be forgotten, his loyalty to the club when he could have walked away is something we the fans, again, will never forget. I remember when the press said he had all but signed for Arsenal and to be fair I would not have blamed him if he had. 51 years a fan of LCFC and even today I have to pinch myself for what we have achieved and Vardy has been a massive part of that.

[@matarrkebbeh1269]

Vardy winning the league with Leicester is more than winning 3 PL Titles at ManCity. Won more than Kane and always performs well against top six teams. He is not in the top 10 best strikers but he did extremely well.

[@nebelias11]

There needs to be a documentary film out in future about Vardy and his rise - love these types of stories

[@vantheman1238]

Does it matter? Vardy has been enormously successful in his football career and has probably performed beyond his and his clubs wildest dreams. At Leicester Vardy has been their Henry or Kane or Owen. Put it this way Vardy has been priceless for Leicester.

Top 15 Definitely. I don't know why Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is not mentioned in the list, he was elite...

[@s-b6218]

To qualify in the top 10 you need to look at longevity, records and trophies. Whilst players like Torres and Suarez may have been better in a given year, Vardy ticks all the box's and 100% is in the top 10 imo. I'd argue his place over Kanes.

A strikers job os to score goals. Only 12 strikers in PL history have done that more than he has so how is he lucky to be top 20?

Absolutely not. But he done far better than expected

[@demandcollect]

Top 10 Premier League Legends for sure.

[@demandcollect]

whatever that means...

[@steve13191]

no he’s not. but vardy best attribute is his brain, he knows what defenders hate and model his game to exploit that. all his pass, shot selection are the hardest to defend against, when he hides behind cb just in case they pass back to the keeper. press people as soon as they make the first touch. he nailed every single aspect of being a striker that nobody wants to play against.

[@burnaardnufc3173]

If you haven't got a Premier League medal then you're not on the list 😎

[@italkedtobarzini4015]

I put Vardy just above Torres and Cole. Also, as brilliant as he was, van Persie also only won 1 PL and 1 FA Cup, and he played for two top tier teams.

[@jamesbernstone2961]

I wouldn't think so but he is a quality player no doubt about it id just have others ahead of him. Shearer Henry Rooney Aguero Kane Bergkamp Van persie Cole Owen Drogba

A very good striker but top 10 in premiership history?! Henry, Bergkamp, Cole, Van Nistelrooy, Shearer, Van Persie, Drogba, Kane, Wright, Suarez, Torres, Tevez, and even Zola are all in there and that's just off the top of my head. I wish he had gone to another club and shown how good he was

[@paxtonpomykal5243]

Not at all and that's not disrespectful to vardy but if we are talking about all Time premier League there have been so many immense talent up front vardy would struggle to make my top 20

[@skaaya1]

Good striker, loyal and consumate pro, but there are definitely a lot more better and superior strikers in PL history. Also, im not a LFC fan, and yes he was a shocker at Chelsea (it was literally 2 different people) , but Torres is definitely in the upper top tier, simply for his time at Liverpool. I'm an Arsenal fan, but I reckon Torres in his pomp at LFC, rivaled Henry! 🤷🏿‍♀️

Nowhere near

[@kyleharrison1370]

Rate vardy although top 20 is even questionable. Kevin Phillips berbatov Defoe anelka listing a few even bent I'd rate higher than vardy. People forget the past a bit to quick.

[@biggy3rd]

Neither of them even mentioned Salah.

[@kevinmcnab5670]

Mate come on. Only one of them has more goals than Vardy and that's Defoe. In terms of goal contributions (goals and assists) Defoe is the only one who has a better record than Vardy and even then, he has 15 more despite playing over 200 more games. Vardy has played 289 games which is far fewer than anyone you mentioned yet there is only a decent argument for one of them being ahead of Vardy on that list.

[@biggy3rd]

@user-zy9eb9bz5t People carried away with Drogba's greatness and assumed he was prolific. He was no doubt a big game player who scored big and important goals, but he wasn't that prolific. I also believe it was mainly down to the number of goals Lampard was scoring.
