Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has today been officially presented with his Guinness World Records certificate in honour of his 11 game record goal-scoring run in the Barclays Premier League.
The England front man received the award at Leicester City's training ground today ahead of his side's important fixture away to Swansea in the Premier League.
The Swansea game presents Vardy with an opportunity to chase down yet another milestone, this time in the form of Jimmy Dunne's long standing record for consecutive goals in the English top flight.
The former Sheffield United player's record of scoring in 12 straight games has stood since 1932.
In a moment that made history, Vardy notched his 14th goal of the season during the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at the King Power Stadium in Leicester last Saturday.
Vardy's unprecedented goal scoring run has been stretched across three months from 29 August to 28 November.
His goal at Old Trafford ended former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's 12 year old record of scoring in 10 consecutive games.
Accepting his Guinness World Records title, Vardy said: 'I'm delighted to have broken the record, but the most important thing is that the team is getting positive results.
'I've managed to get on the end of things, but it's my team-mates that have got me into the positions and all of our hard work that is making the difference.
'The record is a nice thing to have, but I don't mind who is scoring the goals, as long as we keep picking up points in every time we go on the pitch.'
