Intro just want to let you lot know that if you're watching this clip on the fos cast YouTube channel the full episode is now available to watch exclusively on Spotify and it's free come on we're going to move on to a slightly brighter subject and Jamie vardy So Jamie vardy what I want to know is the whole chat get banged Jamie vard's having a party was this a thing amongst the squad you guys must have been on his case about Jamie Vardys unique character this do you know what is uh is a unique character is V is very unique I've never met anyone like him from the moment I met him like like I I didn't know I didn't know how to take him like at the start I was like wow this guy's a lot like he is a lot um and he's got that side to he like obviously whs the opposition fans up and and he has the like the the ban with them and but then he has got the other side as well like he has got that personal side he's got like he's a real family man like he's he's got loads of kids he's got like five kids and he's he's great with them like he's great with my kids like he's um so he's he's got that aspect as well so that that people probably don't really see from the outside but some of the stuff that he like he's done in my time now honestly like some days like he takes bows as he's coming up like bows to opposition fans and I'm just thinking come on V like come on but um he's great with it though like he's superb with it and um to to have been able to to witness it from close close uh closeup in the last 10 years has been is it true that he'd have a glass of por before the game he did when so when I first got there yeah that was his that was his thing like it there'd be him and and a couple of other Lads that would go uh go in his room the night before and a away game and and yeah it was working mate he was abs The night before a game but you got to imagine that there I'm not saying it's a good thing to do necessarily and I'm sure for some people could be a slippery slope but the pressure for a lot of people the night before a game even though you don't think about it and you're not aware of it but there is it weighs heavy on you people start to get nervous the night before in the day of a game but he never used to sleep like he he'd never sleep he'd be up on his PlayStation in in his room till like 2:00 in the morning but then he'd be first one down at breakfast the next day like a couple of espresso and um I think he had May might have had an omelet and a couple of Red Bulls and that was him done good to go he just turning a performance Jamie VY my impression of him i' I've spoke to him a few times only on the pitch and stuff like that but um my impression of Jamie VY is he doesn't really give a [ __ ] about any of you lot about any of the the opposition about if you're a mega star this I don't give a [ __ ] I'm Jamie My impression of Jamie Vardy vardy and I'm rapid and I'm a rat and I'm going to score goal and that's what I'm going to do to you today yeah and I even I remember a time so he scored scored a hatrick at uh the EAD we be we be Man City might have been 52 or something and he got a hattick and I remember sitting on on the back of the boss that like after that and he's he sat there he's got the like the match ball there all signed like I'm just looking at him going you've just got a hattick at the etad like against one of the best man city Side sides that's ever been and like uh I can't remember what I said to him but he was just so humble about it he was like oh yeah like that's just my job that's yeah that's it it weren't like ah yeah like look what I've worn he weren like the keep ups with with this ball like he was just sat there in the corner like that was it what a player I remember do you remember the first game back um after uh Co so we played we played against each didn't it was Jamie Vardy vs Watford Watford versus Leicester um really weird time no fans in the stadium um but I remember in the I think whether it was first half or second half or whatever you've played a ball in and Jamie VY as per usual is always looking for the off the cuff stuff he's trying to do stuff quickly he's trying to catch people off guard he's trying to act and pretend like he's not interested not bothered and then boom he's gone yeah so you're all on the same page it might have even been you that put the ball in for God's sake but somebody's whipped this ball over the top it's a free kick from about 45 yards out on the angle and um our Lads have sort of Switched Off a little bit but I'm very aware of what Jamie vard is and I know that he is trying to get him behind our Lads and just be in space and just get the ball down and try and score a goal so I'm watching like a hawk and I can see that he's connected eyes with somebody in that game by the way you to you're like telepathy phenomenal it is phenomenal Mark I'm not joking you're telepathy little glances little looks little eyes and people don't see it people don't appreciate how important this is but when you have a connection with a player and you two particularly was phenomenal anyway somebody's whipped this ball in our Defenders are fast asleep still and he's ran into loads of space to about the penalty spot and I've seen it and I've come sprinting out and I've gone to get a punch on it thankfully I've got there milliseconds just before Jamie he don't care though he is still going to go for this ball full blooded right he's got a big 6'4 94 kilo man running at him he don't care he's still he's trying to hurt me as much as I'm trying to hurt him it's the way it goes isn't it right managed to get the punch first he has still dived his head into me as hard as he can and he's headb buted my chin so he head put he he's used his head he's hitted my chin my chin has just gone exploding didn't he weren't you out for a second yeah I was kind of out for a little bit of a split second and he was I'm sure out for a little bit of a split second but that just tells you about J he don't care mate he don't care if that Ball's there to be one I don't care if you're 6' 6 or if you're 4 foot I am still going to give you everything and we were both down on the floor I remember looking at him thinking you're an absolute madman absolute mad man he went off in about the 60th minute by the way so Jamie vardy is Jamie Vardy at 37 37 now he's 37 years old and he scored 18 in 35 he did better than one and two in the champ last season in in unbelievable in that Premier League season he scored 22 goals um which season 24 15 16 sorry 24 goal he scored 11 in a row yeah that's still the record the Premier League record for consecutive goals scored but it was just inevitable wasn't it I remember the goal scored actually it was against man united wasn't it David de and goal and he got through on the angle and you just knew where he was going to put it that run I've never I've never seen anything like I've never been so assured of a striker in all my life like just going through like boil get played through and he's one-onone with the keeper and there was no doubt that he was just smashing it like he he weren't he weren't going to place it posting in like he was smashing the ball like with so much confidence and it was like you just knew it was going in the back of the net and then like he scoring and then he was scored he scored the goal against Liverpool and um it was just like kept going on and on and on and then he got the equal the record at St James's Park like he skipped through and and put it bottom corner and then the goal to to actually get the record like under the light at the king of power against man united on the on the TV it was like it was inevitable that it was going to happen and um that night to to have been a part of it I think there was a few of us thinking I'd love to be the one that sets it up I'd love to be the one that that puts it puts it through for him and if you look like you've probably seen it the the past that actually sets it up is from Christian fuks and it's a no look pass so he hits it with his left looks the other way and he's like this lovely pass through and yeah he gets on the end of it and scores and does what he does and yeah then the celebration is yeah like I'm here now like I'm here this is me like and uh yeah he just summed him up and to to have been a part of that was was amazing The next season do you do you remember sorry quickly the I remember the next season he he didn't really hit the heights the next season Leicester is fair to say he probably didn't hit the heights of of the Season before um it would have been impossible to do that but he let Jamie particularly didn't score so many goals he was missing a few more chances I remember Michael Owen actually doing a piece on TV talking about it and he said well yeah but that's just the type of player Jamie is you know he just smashes it and that's how said it he just smashes it and I remember thinking yeah I get that he just smashes it but when he's scoring goals when confidence is high it's not just a smash you know he knows exactly where he's putting it still he's still aiming for a certain spot and smashing it there though but one thing as well that I'll say like it obviously he looks quite probably looks quite Raw on the eye like of how he's come through and stuff like that but technically he very very good like he'll do stuff in training like I don't know it might just be messing about or might be shooting practice after and he's technically very good like probably better than what people give him give him credit for um and that that's something that like I've I've been surprised with over over the years I think is his cleverness for me I think he is one of the most Street Smart clever Premier League players you will likely see well he's he's actually dead clever as well you know like is he ask him any maths question and he'll know the answer ma honestly his maths is of the SC it's incredible yeah he's SC I mean he's scored a lot of Premier League goals I mean like his first season in the Prem he scored five five 34 and then he went on a run of 24 goals 13 goals 20 goals 18 goals 23 goals 15 goals 15 goals a lot of Premier League goals you know as well like obviously because of his his diet and there was the whole Port thing coming out the time and um he's Red Bull he's like not eating the the right foods and stuff and over last sort of 10 years like you've got Fitness coaches and nutritions that are coming in going oh well you need to do this and he's just there going no like I've got my thing he's just defying everything that they're saying but they can't say anything to him cuz he's backing it up yeah exact he's fully backing it works for him it works for him thanks everybody for watching we hope you enjoyed this clip of the fos cast if you would like to watch the full episode it is now available exclusively on Spotify for
