Happy birthday Jamie Vardy you absolute legend

Today is a great day, everyone.

On this date 30 years ago, Jamie Richard Vardy was born in Sheffield, England, Planet Earth. Think about that for a minute. The man, the myth, the absolute legend was brought into the world, destined for greatness.

After early struggles to find his footing in the natural order of things, Vardy burst onto the scene with Leicester after signing from non-league Fleetwood Town in 2012 for £1 million.

A Championship and Premier League winners medal later, the lad of all lads has established himself as a City legend and will soon have his story told on the big screen by Hollywood. Life is good.

So to celebrate this momentous day, please enjoy some GIFs and things of Vardy doing Vardy things because today is all about Vardy. That’s it. Nothing else. There is nothing but Vardy.

Thanks you and as the subhead details, please celebrate accordingly.

Let’s get this party started off with a bang, shall we? Probably the best goal he’s ever scored? Definitely the best goal he’s ever scored.

Well besides this one. He scored this before you even knew who he was! Boy oh boy. Good celebration, too:

This goal was pretty great as well. He has a thing about scoring big goals against Manchester United, apparently:

But as we all know, this was the greatest Vardy Party of them all:

We hope you have a great day, Jamie. You’ve earned it <3 <3 <3
