Jamie Vardy overlooks Harry Kane and picks "complete opposite" favourite strike partner

Jamie Vardy played with Harry Kane for club and country, but the England captain isn't his favourite strike partner.

Instead, the honour goes to one-cap wonder David Nugent, the former Preston star, who scored in his only England appearance back in 2007, played with Vardy early on in the 35-year-old's Leicester career and helped the club earn promotion to the Premier League in 2014.

Vardy and Nugent scored 36 goals between them in the 2013-14 campaign, one year after Kane's brief stint on loan with the Foxes, and both were on target in September 2014 during a 5-3 Premier League victory over Manchester United. However, while Vardy n went on to become Leicester's highest ever Premier League goalscorer, Nugent had just one year in the top flight under Nigel Pearson.
