Vardy....

He aint no Andy Gray

He aint no Jeremy Hardy

Andy

Kane and Vardy will do some serious damage at the Euros.

Never seen a better header of the ball than Andy Gray.

..... maybe Joe Jordan.

..... maybe Joe Jordan.

What a revelation this lad has been. Dragged out of Fleetwood in his late twenties. Whoever scouted him deserves a serious pay rise..

Yep, fast and clinical finisher.

Nice goal

Denis Law was nae bad.

That reminds me of Graeme Sharps goal against the red**** at Wembley..

The Lawman sure was.

..... Ceasar was great too. Scored a lot of goals for a centre half, nearly all headers.

And let's not forget Big  (bankrupt) Dunc.. Terrorised United he did..

Thought you were referring to Big Billy for a moment there

Dunc could head a ball. Bankrupt - unbelievable

Malcolm MacDonald another good un.

My ex wasn't bad..

Les Ferdinand up there with the best headers imo.

Dion Dublin one of the best headers imo

Lee chapman was great with the head bur 5hit with his feet.

The thing I hate about this Leicester phenomena is the Leicestershire accent. It encourages local fans to ring up 606 and talk....and almost to a man they sound thick.

Jeff Astle springs to mind.

Mick Harford

did headers like my shots

Bob Latchford

Always knew ye was a secret blue, Cap'n..

Jeff Astle; wasn't he the bloke who couldn't score with his left foot? Except for the cup winning coal that is....

part of the Holy Trinity with Bob Hatton and Trevor Francis g2d

Rooney 30 years old on 300k a week
Vardy  29 years old on 70k  a week ( from 40k a week )

Who's better value

I know these obscene wages have been going on for a few years now, but…

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK!
FIFTEEN MILLION POUNDS A YEAR!

Crazy.

worth every penny


I suspect some deranged United fan living in Cornwall would be saying that right now

the fans could vote with their feet.....but they are guilty of fickleness so funk them, let them get fleeced

When do we get the first 500k a week premiership footballer this year or next

Man City would pay Messi a million a week if they could get him

He would command 500k a week

Thick as **** up here in The East Midlands !

Vardy is a brilliant player.

A proper, old-fashioned, hard-working, 'lean and hungry as a whippet' centre forward.

Could have been a player in Charles Charlie Charles team of '33!

I REALLY hope and wish Leicester win the Prem this year.

It would mark for a great bit of footballing history in showing it isn't just all about mega-bucks and prima donna players.

Plus, that great old ex-Stoke Kraut bruiser Robert Huuuuuth would be able to rub in even more with his mate Super Jonny Walters!
When Leicester played Stoke recently Huth tweeted:

"Great seeing you today mate, I've missed that high pitched scream you make when you take a knock"

It really must be remembered that it was a superb bit of stategy by Pearson last season when Leicester were staring into the abyss of relegation when he brought Huth in to shore up their defence.
Their fortunes improved instantly from that moment on.
Now look at them.

Goaaarn Leicester!

Leicester winning the premier league title would be like Luke stardancer firing that laser bullet from his space plane into the anus of the deathstar that is the overinflated capitalist machine and it exploding.
The football journey then complete all possibilities met the bubble bursts and the illusion of selling something ethereal being over, people then refuse to pay the inflated prices for failure.

I see Liverpool are starting the revolution by leaving the ground on 77 mins the next home game, lets home everyone does it.

Hope

He didn't make his 1st team debut for Stocksbridge Steelers until he was 20!  Didn't get the big move to Halifax in the Northern Premier until he was 23!

In 2009, then aged 22, he went on trial at Crewe and the turned him down

Vardy is a late developer, he'll be a hell of a player when he's 40. So much better than these precocious kids, that lose it when they reach 20.

It's a great story. Never gave up, put in the hard work and hoped for a break. Good luck to him.

theres hope for us all

is this really happening?

Leicester go to city and are leading 2-nowt, crickey

0-3

Be great if they can win it. Not for the layers though. Heard they were bet as high as 5000/1 with bookies. Surely got to lay off now.

Vardy reminds me of Frank Stapleton.  Defence starts at the centre-forward position.
They don't (didn't) let players relax on the ball.   Every ball gets chased.

A lot of similarities to Cloughs great  Forest side in the 70s and 80s. Much greater than the sum of its parts.
Inevitably though, the big boys will come in and break  it up in the summer, and the fairytale will be short lived,
Let's hope we don't l return to a 4 team league, and Vardy doesn't  become the new Gary Birtles ☹️

...or teams will adapt to their style.


would be a great  achievemnt if they won - greater than Forests even .

i dont post much nowadays but this ' best header ' has to bring me out of retirement .
     .frank stapleton . kincsem on the ball . i watched him many times , a great player of average talent . like vardy . unlike some who are great earners with  average talent .

A bunch of Glasgow guys beating the elite of Europe to win the Champions Cup was the greatest achievement

TMM,

Do you still eat cheese?

I hate the stuff.

George Foreman wrote a book entitled SMILE. You should read it.

I had some in December.

Inspirational read.

You playing the ivories ? Rhapsody In Blue my favourite piece.

Still

Norman Mailer like a fight.

I like Gershwin on a Sunday - always have.

The odd Scarlatti sonata these days TMM.

You mean The Fight. Great book. Rumble in the Jungle.

Domenici is my favourite mate. Fantastic. You got a harpsichord?

Domenico

Stupid app this

Gershwin was a genius.

Oiii this is a footy fred ye peasants..

Cam for Pope, btw..

I wasn't thinking specifically about The Fight but you are right.

I liked his debates with William Buckley and Gore Vidal.

Definitely g2d! The whole of Alba is supporting them, lol.

Haven't seen them EG. Will take a look.

All over the news up here. Gano the national hero.

Sorry g2d, We're listening to Gershwin and Scarlatti, you probably the theme from Z Cars Terrific result mate!

Sure was; the red shítes was better though.. 2-0 up the fans who want £50 million players - new stands - and 5 bob to get in, walked out. 15 mins later 2-2 and deep depression

TMM,

I am realizing how wonderful Edith Piaf is.

The Little Sparrow, absolutely wonderful

Great day for you g2d on the footie.

I'm off to my kip. Goodnight chaps.

Good night TMM.
