A Storybook Ending

Poetic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

13 years to the day since Jamie Vardy signed for Leicester City, he stepped onto the King Power pitch one last time — and did what he’s done better than anyone in the club’s history.

He scored.

The Numbers That Define a Legend

Against Ipswich Town, in his 500th and final appearance, Vardy netted his 200th goal for the club — the ultimate farewell in front of a home crowd that has watched him go from raw non-league forward to Premier League royalty.

A season that changed everything - and made Vardy a legend.

• 500 games.

• 200 goals.

• 1 Premier League title.

• 1 FA Cup.

• 1 Community Shield.

And a lifetime of moments you couldn’t buy, script, or replicate.

From Non-League to Immortal

Signed from Fleetwood Town in 2012, Vardy was doubted, questioned, and even loan-listed early in his Leicester career. But he turned the noise into fuel — and the doubters into believers. He didn’t just rise with Leicester — he led them.

From non-league football to the top of English football - the Vardy story

That 2015/16 title? It’ll never be told without his name stitched into every chapter.

The Final Goal

His final goal today wasn’t just another number. It was a parting gift. A reminder. That even at 37, the fire never left.

Jamie Vardy didn’t just play for Leicester.

He became Leicester.

And as he waved goodbye, the King Power didn’t just applaud — it stood for a legend.
