Former Leicester City striker Alan Smith was thrilled for Jamie Vardy over his performance against Manchester United.
Smith wrote in the Telegraph: "When it comes to high energy displays full of pace, conviction, aggression, determination and no little skill, this was about as good as it gets.
"Jamie Vardy really did hit the heights on Sunday. At the centre of everything for an irrepressible Leicester City, this tiger of a striker announced himself to the world by running Manchester United ragged all afternoon.
"If he plays for another 15 years, Vardy probably will not experience so much success against a club of United's stature. All this from a lad who was playing for Stockbridge Park Steels in the Northern Premier League a few years ago.
"Back then this Sheffield-born prospect was a bit of a handful, getting into some serious scrapes with the law.
"As he said himself after this game, "It has not been an easy journey", but the 27-year-old can surely look forward now with a great deal of optimism, mainly because his insatiable appetite for the game sets him apart from many of his peers."
