Halifax Town FC and Fleetwood FC and Leicester City since 2012, has joined the Premier League 100 Club. He scored 31 goals in his first FL season and he has now notched 101 goals after his latest match against Crystal Palace. This is remarkable since he did not make his football League debut until the age of 25 and his Premier League debut not until 27. He is the 29th player to be in the club.
Can you name the others?

Henry, Wright, Fowler, Ferdinand (Les), Cole, Owen (who also won the Ballon d'Or), van Persie and Hasselbank in the "club".
In terms of minutes per goal, he stands at 166 minutes per goal; Aguero, Kane, Henry, van Persie, Shearer, Owen and Wright line up with fewer.
Only Ian Wright is older than Vardy in reaching the 100th Premier League career goal.
