If he has another poor season, Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy could be labelled as one of the Premier League's biggest one season wonders.

Vardy scored 24 goals as the Foxes famously romped home to the title in 2015/16. But he only scored 13 last season - a disappointing return for the England striker.

It means that Vardy is up in second place in a list of Premier League players who scored 15 or more goals in a season only to fail to repeat the feat again.

Here, GetWestLondon list the players who scored the most goals in one Premier League season only to never reach the 15 goal mark again.

We've excluded players who left the division the season after they first passed the 15 goal mark (e.g. Gareth Bale) and also those who scored 15 or more in the old First Division as well as in the Premier League (e.g. Peter Beardsley).

And a former Fulham favourite makes the list...

Marcus Stewart - 19 goals for Ipswich in 2000/01

Stewart finished as the Premier League’s second top scorer in his first of just three seasons in the division. His 19 goals for Ipswich saw them finish fifth, five points ahead of sixth placed Chelsea. He only managed to score six the following season though and just one the season after for Sunderland.

Michael Bridges - 19 goals for Leeds in 1999/00

Bridges’ 19 goals in his first season at Elland Road helped Leeds finish third in 99/00 and qualify for the Champions League. Injuries ruined any chances of him following up on that success though. He never scored a Premier League goal again.

Roque Santa Cruz - 19 goals for Blackburn in 2007/08

Another player to have been blighted by injuries. The Paraguayan forward never recaptured his goalscoring form following a big money move to Manchester City. He scored just three Premier League goals for City. Santa Cruz managed to score a total of just seven English league goals following that 19 goal season.

Jurgen Klinsmann - 20 goals for Tottenham in 1994/95

This is a bit of a harsh one as Klinsmann didn’t play in consecutive seasons for Spurs. He moved to Bayern Munich following his memorable 94/95 campaign at White Hart Lane, but did return in 1997/98. He only played in 15 games that season and still managed to scored nine goals. Sadly, that’s below the 15 goal marker so he makes our list.

Louis Saha - 20 goals for Fulham and Manchester United in 2003/04

Saha scored 13 for Fulham in the first half of the 03/04 season and seven for United in the second half. Things never really worked out for Saha after that though. The most he ever scored in a single season for United was eight in 2006/07. A four season spell at Everton also proved unfruitful, with the 13 goals he grabbed in 2009/10 being the most he ever scored in a season for the Toffees.

Yaya Toure - 20 goals for Manchester City in 2013/14

The Ivorian midfielder wasn’t really signed for his goalscoring prowess but that didn’t stop his bagging 20 league goals for City on their way to the title in 2014. He’s yet to rediscover that goalscoring form, coming closest in 2014/15 when he scored 10.

Andrew Johnson - 21 goals for Crystal Palace in 2004/05

Johnson’s 21 goals weren’t enough to stop Crystal Palace from going down in 2005. They no doubt helped to persuade David Moyes to spend over £8m on the striker the following summer though. Sadly, it never worked out for Johnson. The most he ever scored in a subsequent Premier League season was 11.

Daniel Sturridge - 21 goals for Liverpool in 2013/14

The Liverpool forward was in fine form when his club missed out on the title in 2014. He finished as the division’s second top goalscorer with 21 goals behind only his teammate Luis Suarez who scored 31. He’s been blighted by injuries since then though scoring just four, eight and three goals in the following three seasons.

Stan Collymore - 22 goals for Nottingham Forest in 1994/95

His 22 goal haul for Forest in their first season back in the Premier League secured Collymore a move to Liverpool for £8.5m, an English record at the time. He scored 14 league goals in his first at Anfield which is the most he ever scored in a single season again.

James Beattie - 23 goals for Southampton in 2002/03

Beattie score 91 Premier League goals in his career but the 02/03 campaign was his only one truly prolific season, bagging 23 league goals for Southampton. The most he ever scored in a single season again though was 14, which he managed in 2003/04.

Jamie Vardy - 24 goals for Leicester in 2015/16

Vardy’s goals were essential for Leicester when they won the title in 2016. He struggled to match that last season though, scoring just 13.

Kevin Phillips - 30 goals for Sunderland in 1999/00

It might seem a bit ridiculous to put a man who scored 92 Premier League goals in a list of one season wonders, but Phillips only passed the 15 goal a season mark once in the top tier. That was in his debut season in the division when he scored 30 goals in 36 games for Sunderland, finishing as top scorer above Alan Shearer.
