Vardy exit 'the end of a chapter for Leicester'

Former Leicester City defender Michael Morrison says Jamie Vardy's departure will mark "the end of a chapter" at the club but believes the record-breaking striker will leave behind a "massive legacy" at King Power Stadium. Since signing for the club in May 2012, Vardy has won a Premier League title, the FA Cup, the Community Shield and two promotions from the Championship. Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast, Morrison said: "I was looking at how many games he has played and it is just incredible. I can't think of anybody that has played that many games for one club in the last 10 years. "Then it is amazing to back it up with how many goals he has scored, the accolades he has received and the record-breaking runs he has gone on. "It is the end of a chapter for Leicester City as a football club. He's also the last remaining player that was involved in the team that won the Premier League, so that is another closing door. "I think his legacy is massive - and as a player you can only be proud of that. "When he looks back at his Leicester City career, I think he will be amazed at what he has achieved. He wouldn't have thought he would have had this much success in his wildest dreams. "I'm sure this isn't how Jamie Vardy saw his Leicester City career finishing. It is a really difficult moment to be celebrating such a legend because it's off the back of a really disappointing season. "I do think it will be a bit of a strange atmosphere for some but the club is strong enough and it has bounced back plenty of times, so I definitely think Sunday should be used as a celebration for what Jamie Vardy has done over the last 13 years."
