Jamie Vardy gives emotional speech after scoring 200th goal for Leicester in Ipswich win
The 38-year-old cut an emotional figure as he addressed the crowd at the King Power Stadium
Jamie Vardy moved Leicester City fans to tears with an emotional speech at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
The 38-year-old scored as the Foxes beat Ipswich 2-0, with the striker netting his 200th goal for the club in his 500th game.
Vardy had recently confirmed he'd be leaving Leicester, with his next move unknown. There's talk of a move to Saudi Arabia, America, or even Wrexham as he prepares to become a free agent.
The former England striker will go down as a modern-day great. Since joining Leicester in 2012, he's established himself as a club icon - with the Foxes winning titles such as the Premier League and FA Cup during his time there.
