JAMIE VARDY can follow in Ian Wright’s footsteps – and become a Premier League goal-den oldie.
The Leicester ace (right) this week joined that select group of strikers with 100 goals after collecting three more against Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
Ex-gunners legend Wright was the only player older than
Vardy to crack the century – just weeks short of his 36th birthday.

MICHAEL KEANE has claimed Liverpool have signposted the way for Everton to start challenging for top honours under Carlo Ancelotti.
Goodison and England defender Keane believes Ancelotti can fire Everton like Jurgen Klopp has done to the Reds.
Mancunian Keane (above), 27, who faces Wolves at Molineux today, said: “We want to compete at the top of the league.
“We know it will take a bit of time the 33-year-old can do the same. He said: “The journey through non-league was similar for both Jamie and
Ian, and both play with a hunger and devilment.
“Ian was someone I loved watching.
“His enthusiasm, quality, and all those different finishes.
“Jamie is the same. I see that enthusiasm and love for the game.
“Ian was scoring goals throughout his career and Jamie will, too.”
Leicester today he said: “The players here all know what the prize is.
‘‘We worked so hard to get into the Premier League and we don’t want to give that up easily.” and won’t happen overnight, but we’ve seen even from Liverpool it can be done.
“Four or five years ago they were in our position and with a bit of stability, good signings and a change of mentality they got there.
“It’s something we will look to do and hopefully we can give Everton fans something to brag about in the next couple of years.”
RALPH HASENHUTTL has hailed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for surviving and thriving in one of football’s hottest seats – so far.
The Southampton boss (right) believes his Manchester United counterpart has convinced critics he can cope with the Old Trafford job – but that could soon change.
Hasenhuttl, who takes his Saints to Old Trafford tomorrow, said: “In the beginning people did not underestimate him as he had a very good start and winning his games. Then it was the opposite.that’s one of the problems with our business.
“So now it’s a little bit special for the world to see what he’s doing. It’s even more important that he is convinced about what he is doing. At the moment, he is proving all the experts wrong. But the big challenges are to come.you don’t just need a good 100-metre record, you need one in the marathon, too.
“You have to develop the team every day and every game over the whole season.
‘‘And you can never stop winning – because winning is normal and losing is always a disaster.”
