Jamie Vardy goes top of special list of most appearances among Championship players, Wednesday, Preston and Cardiff players follows

Jamie Vardy, at 37 years old, holds the record for most appearances for a club in The Championship with an impressive 387 games under his belt. His closest competitor is Scottish international Liam Palmer, five years his junior, who has notched up 367 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday.

Following closely behind are Alan Browne of Preston North End and Joe Ralls of Cardiff City, both with 300+ league appearances. The list includes 100+ players from each of the 24 clubs, with Leicester boasting five players, including Marc Albrighton, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ricardo Pereira, and Wilfred Ndidi.

Preston North End stands out as the most consistent team with eight players surpassing the 100 mark, while Watford has the fewest players above 100, with only Ken Sema making the cut.

This data is particularly intriguing as The Championship is often seen as a transitional league, and teams that move through it too quickly may struggle to maintain the consistency required for progress and promotions. Notably, both Stoke and Sunderland appear to be impatient, with only two players each in the 100+ group.
