Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City story had already produced some huge numbers by January 2021. In a retrospective published on 11 January that year, the club highlighted its No.9’s goals, record streak and key landmarks.
The article was tied to Vardy’s 34th birthday and was written by Sam Jones for Leicester’s official website. It is important to keep the timing clear: this was a look back at what Vardy had achieved by that date, not a fresh report from 2026.
Leicester’s Premier League scoring record at the time
According to Leicester City, Vardy was the club’s record scorer in the Premier League when the retrospective was published. He had scored 114 Premier League goals in 227 appearances for the Foxes at that point.
That is the central number in the club’s piece. It placed Vardy at the top of Leicester’s Premier League scoring chart as of 11 January 2021.
The source does not present those statistics as current figures. So the safe reading is simple: they describe Vardy’s standing at the time of the article.
The 11-match scoring run
One of the standout achievements recalled by Leicester was Vardy’s scoring run in the 2015/16 season. The club stated that he scored in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, a Premier League record.
It was a ridiculous run of consistency. Scoring once is hard enough; finding the net across 11 league games in a row is the kind of streak that immediately sticks in fans’ memories.
Leicester’s article linked that record directly to the season in which the club won the Premier League title. Vardy finished that league campaign with 24 goals, according to the official website.
A title-winning season in the numbers
The 2015/16 title is a major part of the context around Vardy’s record. Leicester’s retrospective did not need to stretch the point: his 24 league goals and 11-game scoring sequence show why he was such a prominent figure in that campaign.
Still, the source is a career retrospective rather than a match report or a new announcement. It gives the milestones and totals, but does not add further details about individual fixtures from that season.
What is confirmed is that Vardy’s record-breaking league run happened in 2015/16, and that he ended the title-winning league season on 24 goals.
Golden Boot at the age of 33
Vardy added another major individual honour in 2019/20. Leicester City stated that he won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals, doing so at the age of 33.
That achievement gave the club’s retrospective another marker of Vardy’s longevity at the top level. The source presents the Golden Boot alongside his wider Leicester goal record and the famous 2015/16 streak.
There is no transfer angle, contract update or new international development in the article. This is purely a club look-back at a forward whose numbers had already made a serious mark on Leicester’s Premier League history.
Two landmark Leicester goals
Leicester also listed two important personal milestones from Vardy’s time at the club. The official website recorded his 100th Leicester goal in a 3-1 win over Fulham.
It also stated that he reached 100 league goals for Leicester in a 3-0 win over Arsenal in 2019. The distinction matters: one landmark covered all Leicester goals, while the other was specifically for league goals.
Those moments sit alongside the Premier League scoring record, the 11-match streak and the Golden Boot in the club’s birthday tribute.
What this retrospective does — and does not — confirm
The key takeaway is a historical one. Leicester City’s 11 January 2021 article confirmed that Vardy had 114 Premier League goals in 227 appearances for the club at that stage, plus the achievements outlined above.
It does not confirm any updated total beyond that date. Nor does it provide a new development around Vardy’s future.
For now, the next verifiable step would be an official, up-to-date Leicester or player record release. Until then, this piece remains a snapshot of an already record-breaking No.9 on his 34th birthday.
