If I go in the gym, it will slow me down. I don’t go in for weights or anything like that. Each and every person is different, and this is my way, and I’m sure if someone else tried doing what I do, then it probably wouldn’t work for them. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
I pinch myself every day anyway. Everyone knows the road I have had in the game and how I have managed to get myself to where I am today. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
My diet is not unorthodox. I just eat like anyone else – that’s just how I am. Everyone is different. It is just my metabolism that keeps me this slim. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
Every time I have stepped up a level, I wasn’t expecting it to happen, but once it did, I just made sure I worked as hard as I possibly could to stay there. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
When I was living on my own, for a footballer it’s easy to do the things that you’re not supposed to, or not what the sport science team says. For example, if there’s a packet of crisps, you’re going to eat them. The same with a packet of sweets. Go to bed at a certain time? You’re not going to if you’re on your own. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
I like a drink and enjoy being Jack the Lad. I’ve had a few scraps and spent a night in a cell. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it’s never just been a pace thing. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
When I was playing for the reserves, if you got a call-up you got a straight £30. I’d never been paid for football! Jamie Vardy Read Quote
My life has changed, but I’m not money-motivated at all; that’s the last thing on my mind. I just want to play football, and that’s how I’ve always been. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
The word ‘racist’ is a permanent stain against my name. It’s worse than a criminal record. Some people will never forgive me. Others will accept I made a terrible mistake and recognise I have learnt from it. It’s on YouTube when my kids type in their dad’s name, and it comes up ‘Jamie Vardy racist’. On Google, too. It’s horrible. Jamie Vardy Read Quote
