Leicester City's Harry Panayiotou aims to be just like his hero Jamie Vardy after Premier League title glory

Harry Panayiotou feared his days at Leicester City were numbered and, while his boyhood team were chasing their first English title, he was in pursuit of his own piece of history.

On March 26 in the Trinidad Stadium on the Caribbean island of Aruba, the striker beat his Foxes team-mates to it and entered the club's record books.

At just 21 years old, Panayiotou had broken Leicester's international goalscoring record, one which had stood for 85 years.

His fifth goal for Saint Kitts and Nevis - birthplace of his mother Serene and where he is nicknamed 'The Net Ripper' - was enough to surpass Erine Hine's four goals for England.
