I don’t think we will ever see anyone try as hard (so he should…) or appreciate how lucky he was to get a chance (which would be useful with a few others…) or sprint off the pitch so quickly being subbed.

a few interesting takes
1- he's just a normal working class kid who was only racist because of his lack of education (his wife said that)
2- they didnt mention his wifes issue with rooney she was painted as a local girl done good a loyal wife NOT a complete bike who was looking for premier players to impregnate her- I know someone who used to be mates with her and she is horrific
3- they claimed vardy was 'the biggest underdog story in sports history' as he came from non league- ian wright didnt get a mention
4-leicester league win was miraculous- agree with this
5- its a pr attempt to make him and her seem lovely people.
6- the bloke who brought him up with his mum isnt his real dad. because of this vardy has cut his mum off. apparently all he needs is his wife and kids. and all his wife needs is his bank balance without any familial distractions.
5/10

Lloyd Honeyghan vs Donald Curry
Jesse Owens
Williams sisters
