3) Jamie Vardy is an animal
Striker Jamie Vardy’s story is similar to that of his club Leicester City. Vardy was a factory worker playing for Fleetwood Town, a non-league club playing in the Conference Premier, the sixth tier of English football.
Vardy, this season has completed his own fairytale while helping Leicester to the Premier League title. He scored thirteen goals in eleven consecutive games for Leicester from August to November.
Vardy’s pace, power and precision earned him many admirers throughout the season. He was also the fastest player in the Premier League. Reacting to this news, Ranieri, in his inimitable manner, said, “This is not a footballer. This is a fantastic horse.”
Vardy has been incredible this season, scoring goals when it has mattered most to the club. He has scored 22 goals this season, firing the Foxes to the title.
