What a success story its been for man of the hour, Jamie Vardy it's been such a success that its going to be a Hollywood movie. It was well deserved he won the Footballers Writers player of the year award, for someone whose peaked late in his career and considering he was playing non-league football just 4 years ago with a Premiership title on it's way and looking to stake a claim for England in the Euro's this summer the world is Vardy's oyster right now.
He broke Ruud Van Nistleroy's record in scoring in 11 consecutive matches and netting 22 times in 36 games. Vardy has been one of the best forwards in the league this year, with his potent feet, pace and running in behind defenses, he's been one of the reasons why Leicester will be looking to be crowned champions sooner rather than later. This is what football is all about, this is the stuff of dreams that a big Hollywood script writer couldn't conjour up.
After winning the prestigious award that has seen the likes of Vanistleroy, Henry, Hazard and Bale who have been previous winners, this is what the England international had to say "
Thank you also to my team-mates, who are the reason I’ve been able to achieve anything.
"It’s been an amazing season for all of us at Leicester, based on the team-work not individuals, which you can see in the voting. Thanks also to the manager, all the staff and the fans for their support.
"We’re all totally focused on getting over the line in the final two weeks of the season and turning a great season into one we’ll never forget. Hopefully I can contribute to that and, if selected, carry some good form into the Euros this summer.”
