5 Signs That Leicester City Are The New Blackburn Rovers

2. A Prolific Goal-Scoring Englishman

Just like Alan Shearer before him, Jamie Vardy was born north of the club where he became famous. A powerful striker is a must-have in any league title-winning side and the Foxes number nine is no exception. Having banged in the goals in every league, Vardy now holds the record for goals scored in consecutive Premier League games (11) and in a weird twist of fate his home town of Sheffield is where the next milestone he'll be hoping to break was set. During the 1931-1932 season an Irishman by the name of Jimmy Dunne scored in 12 straight games for Sheffield United meaning that, if Vardy can score away in Leicester's next game away at Swansea, he'll become a true talisman for the team and galvanise Leicester's fledgling title run. Alan Shearer netted 34 times in the league to help Blackburn Rovers win the title. Jamie Vardy already has 14. If he can stay fit, Foxes fans could be in for one hell of a ride.
