They are relying on a 37 year old Vardy to save them, they have a championship squad. Nothing against Leicester but they are going straight back down.

Did you know this..... Vardy is only the fifth player since the war to have scored over 100 goals in the top flight after the age of thirty.
I guarantee that no one - NO ONE - can name the other four (we're going back a fair bit).
If anyone can, I will donate a modest sum to a charity....

Which war?
David Herd? - I can't think of any others, even that might be wrong, and I think it is wrong. I remember reading he had scored quite a few top flight goals around the age of 30.
If its first world war, the only name I can think of is George Camsell. Lofthouse?

So you got one of them - and therefore you win the prize. I thought some FOCs on here might have had a go. Football history is a closed book to many, I suspect. But I love it. So much more interesting than the present day stuff.

Ah yeah Tom Finney, dunno why I didn't even think of him.
I would never have got the others in a million years though, although my parents weren't born in that time, never mind myself. I do enjoy a bit of football history though, my neighbour as a kid was an old fella that used to tell me about all the old timers and collected old programmes
