Robert Huth Suggests Jamie Vardy’s Achievements Are Underappreciated

Following Enzo Maresca’s declaration that Jamie Vardy is the “best” England striker of his generation, Robert Huth, a former teammate of Vardy, has asserted that the player’s accomplishments have “gone under the radar.” Huth, who played alongside Vardy during Leicester City’s Premier League title-winning season, commented: “You watch some of his goals, he literally scored any goal possible. A tap in, penalties, obviously, you know, 30-yard screamers, left foot volley, right foot volley. Any type of goal he could score.” He elaborated on Vardy’s scoring versatility, adding: “He was so versatile in his goal scoring. Is he better than [Harry] Kane? Who knows. But certainly, I think he’s gone under the radar in terms of what he achieved in his last 10 years.” Huth further described Vardy’s career as “phenomenal” for him “To come so late onto the big stage and score 100 plus Premier League goals, win the Premier League, win the FA Cup, win the Community Shield, play for England, scoring goals for them”. He also highlighted Vardy’s adaptability under different coaching philosophies: “The way he changed with the managers, Claudio [Ranieri] was very much on the counter attack. Then we changed to a bit more possession and still he was the top scorer for us.” Concluding his assessment, Huth affirmed: “So, I think he’s right to get the plaudits that he’s getting.”
