Jamie Vardy has claimed he has received death threats to his family since Leicester City took the shock decision to sack Claudio Ranieri.
The Leicester striker, currently on international duty with England, said on Monday that attempts were even made to run his wife and children off the road when his wife was driving.
Vardy said some of the reports around the time of Ranieri's dismissal had not helped, insisting once again that he could not have been part of an alleged players' coup in the wake of their Champions League match in Seville because he was 'actually sat in anti-doping for three hours'.
