Vardy For England!!

[give_us_a_wave]

Also highlights whats wrong with English football.I've been reading that "released at 16 for being too small" line for 40 years & more.Even after all the supposed progress in coaching methods etc we still focus on producing athletes rather than footballers.

Messi would probably have been released by Doncaster if he'd been English.This is why England will never win anything.

Roy Hodgson in the Press Conference, part of which they just shown on BBC1, said he watched Jamie when he was still playing for Fleetwood.
I exoect Nuge has imparted his great England experience on his teammate.

Except that Messi was also told the same thing when he was young.

Didn't know he'd been tagged

He was defending his disabled friend against bullies. Not quite in the same league as 'allegedly' the attempted murder of the mother of your child.

Entirely different.Messi had a growth hormone deficiency.River Plate didn't want to pay for his medical treatment as it was an expensive investment for a youth player.Barca on the other hand felt it was money well spent as his talent was never in doubt.In fact they went so far as to make it a condition of his contract that he moved to Spain so he could be monitored closely.All this for a 12 year old.Illustrates the difference in attitude I reckon.

I wasn't having a go at Vardy, I was surprised it hadn't come out before now

I've read it before quite some time ago. Can't remember where. Maybe in here too.

Thanks for sharing, BN. That was really interesting. Fascinating to read about his experience from non-league and his journey to the PL and England call-up.

Well, the poll at the bottom says 56% (atm) in favour of putting him in the squad

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Brilliant interview in telegraph, shows a very different side to Vards, also shows the massive influence Pearson and his team have had in shaping his career over these past 3 seasons.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

As for the mirror piece, typical tabloid shite, only in this country can such a story of a player going from non league to international stage in 3 years be focused on in a negative way, go on Jamie lad go show these football snobs what your all about. We are proud of you!!

Generally speaking the English do tend to loathe success.

I assume you mean "loathe success by others"?

Just a few short months ago, there was a fair few Leicester fans wanting to off load him to WBA for a box of Monster Munch!

I suppose. At least in my experience.
