Jamie Vardy - 38 years old and still scoring and winding up fans in the Premier League

[editor]

As wind up merchants go, he;s top of the pile, but I thught he deserved a thread of his own. What do we think urban?

In August 2024, after scoring against Tottenham, Jamie Vardy pointed to the Premier League badge on his shirt and held up one finger and then zero to remind Spurs fans how many Premier League titles he has won and how many they have.

And guess what? He just did it AGAIN after scoring against Tottenham away.

Scoring Goals in the PL at the age of 38

Jamie Vardy was relegated with Leicester a few seasons ago. But he stayed loyal, led them back to the Premier League as their top scorer in the Championship, and now he’s back in the top flight—bringing his iconic sh*thousery with him.

Pretty sure I watched him against us in his non-league days without realising, but should probably check it's not a false memory.

It was hard not to raise a smile with this celebration (unless you're a Palace fan):

I love Vardy. I love that he plays for Leicester not one of the big-league sides, and that he helped them to a Premiership title, I love watching the single mindedness when he's after the ball in attack (similar to Salah and Haaland), I love the fact that he made a record for number of goals scored in consecutive matches.

He's probably going to have to play until he's 58 to pay legal bills.

I hope he retires soon so his regen comes through on computer games and you can score goals/chat shit/get banged with him instead

I'm a Spurs fan, and I think it's great that he was winding up our supporters. Fans should be able to create a hostile atmosphere for the away side (within the parameters of not being arseholes), and players should be able to give it back - he scored, they'd been giving him shit all game, fair play to him. The game does need characters.

Right, eagle celebrations are ok but shitty seagull celebrations get you booked. farmerbarleymow take note.

I live close enough to the King Power stadium that I can hear the cheers when he scores. I approve of Jamie Vardy!

To be a pedant, Tottenham have won the top flight twice, against Leicester's once. The name change in 1992 is what makes that particular taunt possible.

Vardy is an Owl. There's a photo of him at Hillsborough. Most of the big name players from Sheffield are Blades, so it's nice to see an exception.

He's the kind of player you hate unless he's on your team. I like the fact that he's still a boil on Tottenham's arse (I have nothing against Spurs, I just find him going 'lol I have a title and you don't' funny).

I'd have thought the cat would be a Sunderland fan.

I saw him when he played for Stocksbridge Park Steels. He outclassed everyone on the pitch. By the way, Stocksbridge has a lovely little ground.

Love him. Lifelong LCFC fan here He’s well off his best, and this is likely his last or last-but-one season (depending where we are next season) but he is if I may attempt a young folk’s idiom absolutely our goat.

He's a Capricorn, quite fittingly. (I love checking footballers' star signs.)

We are close enough to Livingston's ground to know who is winning.

Possibly the only footballer to have played in every round of the FA Cup.
