Stocksbridge to Wembley: 'Duracell Bunny' Jamie Vardy will have played in all THIRTEEN FA Cup rounds come Saturday... from bosses who wished they'd become his agent to being 'better than Arshavin', the Leicester star's rise told by those who know him

It was half-time in an Under-18 cup final at Penistone Church FC and as Allen Bethel, chairman of Stocksbridge Park Steels, walked across the pitch to the clubhouse, he heard something that alarmed him. 'In the second half, I want to kill him.'

The speaker was an exasperated centre back and the subject of his anger was a speedy striker named Jamie Vardy.

The best part of two decades later, despite the efforts of numerous defenders, Vardy's career is alive and kicking, and the next cup final he plays will be at Wembley, against Chelsea.
