Thank You Vards !, #GoodByeGoat

 

A short film looking at the various ways Leicester City Fans said #GoodByeGoat to ​⁠LCFC 's Jamie Vardy. The legend or "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time) played his last game in a Foxes shirt on Sunday 18th May 2025 on his 500th appearance for the club against Ipswich scoring his 200th goal. We begin at the ​⁠ @highcrossleicester Shopping Center where BBC Radio Leicester had partnered with local street art collective @Graffwerk to create a "leaving card" which Fans where able to sign and leave messages for the player. Next we arrive at the ​⁠ @kingpowerofficial stadium where the #VardyParty is well underway with flags proclaiming #ThankYouVards and #GoodbyeGoat is displayed on screen as the famous Post Horn Gallop is almost drowned out by chants from thee crowd of "ooh, Jamie Vardy". After the game a guard of honour featuring players from across #vardy`s time at the club is formed as he enters the pitch to thank the fans and receive a special presentation in recognition of his contribution to the club. After the celebrations at the stadium the film moves to Syston where we see the Syston Knitting Banksy or SKB has created on of her amazing postbox toppers for the occasion which features the GOAT on a throne like chair blowing a whistle maybe to signal full time on his LCFC career. Goodbye GOAT and Thank You Vards !.
