He was a good goal scorer, a proper goal hanger. Very little else to his game though. Personally I always thought he was the lesser version of Ian Rush.

As well as being a smug cunt of a man. I’ve never understood what exactly he does that allows him to sustain a TV presenting career. I find him wooden and tedious and those dreadful fucking puns he has written for him are cringeworthy. Yet the BBC think he’s worth paying a small fortune.

I’d have sacked him from MOTD years ago, put somebody in there on 10% of his wage and nobody would give a fuck. He wouldn’t be missed at all.

His one liners with Micah and Murphy are especially cringeworthy

Alan Hansen come back all is forgiven
 
I don't agree with him all the time, but on most issues I do. It's rare to find a celeb willing to speak up on big issues, most are too scared to voice an opinion - even if it's evidently the moral and correct one.

So, great player for us, excellent player for England and a success off the pitch too. Fair play.
 
I've a feeling his own ego won't like the idea that VARDY is Leicester's greatest ever striker and NOT him...

Still, 200 goals in 500 games is exactly a goal every 2.5 games...

None too shabby... Even for Harold Steptoe!

Vardy spent 13 years at LFC ; Lineker 6 ; although only 4 in which he was a first-team regular; and left the team when he was 24 . His goals per game is slightly higher than JV’s but he just wasn’t there long enough to be considered their greatest ever striker ; I would have thought.

none of that matters tbh. Vardy lifted a Premiership. Linekar was a better player but Vardy is a bigger legend for Leicester

...yeah, and don't we all fucking know it!
.I kinda hate the fact it's all just 'fallen into place for him...

I know he came into the Top Flight level late in his career..., so almost never made it from non league...

But the PL title, the FA Cup, and now the 200th goal on his final, 500th appearance...

It's just all too perfectly neat and tidy for someone who looks like afterbirth!!

I lived near Leicester in the 60/70s and always liked Alan Clarke who was lethal in an average side that got to the FA cup final in 1969 losing to ManC but knocking the Dippers out on the way!

Andy Lochead played up front in the Alan Gilzean role!

Memories
 
When it suits him (usually when Leicester aren't in the PL) he's a Tottenham fan.

At all other times he just uses us as the punchline to his shit jokes.
So that's why they kicked him out before next season then ...
Can't have a pro-Spurs voice on a flagship channel!!

That's why they got the anti-Semitism in, just to make sure!!

This will probably have to be moved to the politics thread now...

But I think bringing anti-Semitism into what is essentially an International political atrocity is small minded at best, and ill educated lazy assumption at worst...

Not ALL Jews are Israeli, or in fact have any ACTUAL connection with Israel, let alone agree with their politics.

Most European Jews are either Central/Eastern European or Germanic... Nothing whatsoever to do with Israel.

All my relatives were from Ukraine, so if I'm gonna pick a war, and a side, it's not gonna be the Gaza conflict!

To presume that disagreeing with Israel, or siding with Palestine is ANTI-SEMITIC just perpetuates the idea that all Jews are Israeli... Which we're not!

I have no intention of 'returning to the promised land' ...same as I have no inclination to walk around Mecca... They're nothing to do with an Agnostic like me.

Born Jewish, maybe, but don't believe in any of it! ...and I certainly don't consider myself in any way affiliated to Israel. So it's a wasted argument.

People are SO quick to bring their HATRED of Jews into this political argument...
Hate Israel all you want, hey, hate JEWS all you want, but I wish people would stop confusing the two, and lumping us all together! It's not one and the same...

There's an argument to be had that explains just why TOTTENHAM are so irrationality hated up and down the country, seemingly by random groups of fans who SHOULDN'T have ANY real gripe with us, yet somehow do .... Scratch the surface, and you'll find the true reason!

Haters gonna hate, and use any excuse they can!
