No one can take their place or their England shirt for granted. If I want to be in that squad, I need to keep banging in the goals to make sure I stay in the manager’s plans. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
Just as I am working hard to adjust to a new level, someone comes along and asks me to move up again. I’m not complaining about it; I just get on with trying to make sure I don’t let anyone down. Training with England is just a different gravy again. Movement-wise, finishing-wise, you can learn such a lot from watching the very best in action. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
In the changing-room, I’m seen as one of the jokers. I like to have a laugh; there are quite a few of us. That what helps make a good atmosphere in the changing-rooms. You’ve got to have a few jokers but obviously serious when the time comes. Jamie Vardy Read Quote

After a Saturday game, we’re in on a Sunday to cool down and make sure we’re fully back at it again. But it doesn’t really affect things too much. It’s basically like you’ve had a game on the Saturday, and then you’re in the cup on a Tuesday. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
If you go into a tournament thinking that you’re not going to do anything, you might as well not be there because you won’t achieve anything. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
There is only one thing I want to do here, and that is play football to the best of my ability. If I let things start distracting me, I’m not going to be able to do that, which will jeopardise the team as well. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
You hear players in the past say that it’s just a job for them, but for me, it is nothing like that. I literally wish I could play football every day. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
