At 22:00 on May 18, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Leicester City faced Ipswich at home King Stadium. This game is of great significance to Leicester City fans, as it is the 500th game that team striker Jamie Valdy has played for Leicester City and his farewell battle for this team. In the end, 38-year-old Valdy scored a low shot through the crotch, scoring his 200th goal since playing for Leicester City, bringing a perfect end to his 13-year Blue Fox career. In the 28th minute of the game, Leicester City launched an attack and his teammates passed the ball accurately to Vardy in the penalty area. Facing the defensive player, Vardy passed the opponent sideways with a crotch-pushing action, then quickly adjusted his posture, calmly shot, and the ball rushed into the far corner of the goal against the turf.

When the ball entered, Wangquan Stadium was quiet for a moment, then there was a huge cheer and applause. The commentator also shouted excitedly, "The ball is in." This goal not only gave Leicester City a 1-0 lead, but also the 200th goal in Valdy's Blue Fox career, becoming the most eye-catching moment for his farewell game. Vardy was very excited after scoring the goal. He ran to the corner flag area, raised the corner flagpole with both hands, and waved towards the fans in the stands. There were sweat and tears on his face, and the emotions of happiness and reluctance were intertwined. All the fans at the scene stood up, applause, cheers and singing mixed together, all of which were respect for Vardy.

Recalling Vardy's career in Leicester City is a legend. In 2012, Leicester City spent £1 million to sign Vardy, who was still playing in the non-professional league at the time. In the 2013-14 season in the Championship, Vardy scored 16 goals, helping Leicester City successfully advance to the Super League, ending the team's ten-year history of not entering the Premier League.

In September 2014, Vardy performed well against Manchester United, not only scoring goals by himself, but also creating opportunities for his teammates many times to help the team win the game. This game made everyone in the Premier League know him and gave him the opportunity to be selected for the England national team. The most brilliant moment of Vardy's career was the 2015-16 season. That season, he scored 11 consecutive Premier League games, breaking the record. Under his leadership, Leicester City, which had extremely low odds before the game, defeated many giants all the way and eventually won the Premier League championship with 81 points. Vardy scored 24 goals that season, which was the key to the team's championship and also won the Premier League Player of the Year. In the days after

, Vardy is still in good condition. In the 2019-20 season, the 33-year-old won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals, becoming the oldest winner of the award. In 2021, he helped the team win the FA Cup and the Community Shield Cup.

Even though Leicester City has a poor record this season and has been relegated early, the 38-year-old Valdi is still the backbone of the team. This season, he started 35 times, scored 9 goals and 4 assists, tying the Premier League record of the most goals scored in a single season by players aged 37 and older.

The entire game ended, Leicester City defeated the opponent 2-0, and this victory was like a gift to Vardy for farewell. After the game, Vardy was named the best player of the game. As he walked onto the podium, Vardy's eyes were filled with tears. He took the trophy and bowed deeply to the fans. In an interview, Vardy choked and said, "It is my lifelong honor to be able to play for Leicester City. This place is like home, and I will never forget the love and support the fans give me. Although I am leaving, my love for Leicester City will not change."

Vardy's farewell means that an era is over. But the 200 goals he left behind, those classic games, and the story of a counterattack from grassroots to legends will always inspire the footballers who came later. In the hearts of Leicester City fans, Vardy will always be the greatest player of the team and the pride of the Royal Stadium.
