Tottenham-goading Vardy admits he’s ‘probably a tw*t’

Leicester striker and erstwhile England forward Jamie Vardy admits he’s “probably a tw*t”.

Vardy announced on Tuesday that his England career was effectively over, stating that “we’ve not shut the door completely”, but he only wants to be considered for selection in the event of an injury crisis.

We have picked out five uncapped options to replace him in Gareth Southgate’s upcoming squad, but can any of that quintet honestly refer to themselves as “probably a tw*t”?

Vardy made the admission in an interview with The Guardian, when asked how he thinks people perceive him.

“I’m a nightmare on the pitch, aren’t I?” he added. “I get abuse from opposition fans and give it back to them. But that’s just me – and that’s how it should be; it’s only a bit of banter.

“Tottenham’s fans last season were singing something about my wife in the jungle, within a minute I scored and they never said a word about me for the rest of the game.

“At West Brom I always go to the same corner after scoring. There was a photo from the season before, the faces are all the same. Their middle fingers are exactly the same.”
