Fan Opinion Piece from freelance writer/journalist and LCFC Fan James Turrell.

Jamie Vardy is no stranger to breaking records. The skinny, Stocksbridge-born striker was the first Leicester player to score 100 goals in the Premier League, the first Leicester player to reach 100 top-flight goals since Arthur Lochhead in 1934/35, the oldest Premier League Golden Boot winner, and, of course, the holder of the record for scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches.

However, receiving the award for Serie A Player of the Month for November 2025, becoming the first English player in history to do so, is a truly astonishing achievement that ranks with any of his other records.

Four months into his Italian career, so far, he has scored four goals in 11 Serie A games, including strikes against Juventus, Atalanta and Bologna.
