it is not every day that you go to a football match and end up with an Oscar in your hands. But then it’s not every day that a story like Jamie Vardy’s comes around.
Those of us inside the press box at the King Power Stadium in May 2017, a year after Leicester City’s sensational title win, passed around one of the famous bronze figurines that belonged to the co-producer of The King’s Speech who planned on taking Vardy’s underdog story to Hollywood.
While that tale is yet to make it to the big screen – though a Netflix documentary will soon be on our screens – Vardy has continued to write chapter after chapter, scene after scene.
