HankMarvin Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 The future England striker was signed from Halifax Town for £1million before moving to Leicester. ‘There was a lot of interest in him but nobody wanted to make that jump,’ recalls Mellon. ‘I’ve heard some people say they were going to buy him. Well, why didn’t you? ‘I went to my chairman and told him it was worth taking a gamble on this kid. A million was a lot of money for Fleetwood but the chairman never even blinked. It was probably the best decision the two of us made because look at what the boy has gone on to do. ‘When he came in and got among us, it became clear he could go further. I actually said to his agent he could play for England. He was greyhound-quick. And when I say aggressive, he was really aggressive. ‘When people get angry they lose their focus, but he had this ability to turn anger into energy. So probably the worst thing you can do is make him angry. It’s no surprise to see what he’s done. ‘I worked with John Stones (as assistant manager) at Barnsley as well. He was the same. They have this calmness about them that nothing is going to stop them getting the most out of their ability. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3455181/Shrewsbury-Town-boss-Micky-Mellon-Charles-Darwin-unearthing-Jamie-Vardy-bid-stun-Manchester-United.html Hmmmmmmmmmmm someones telling porkies "Andy Pilley so proud of striker who repaid his £150,000 transfer fee with a 31-goal season that lifted the Lancashire side out of non-League"
StanSP Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 good to see the first Vardy thread of the season up and running
Tuna Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Yes I read this this morning and thought Mickey had been smoking a few mellons.
The Doctor Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Fleetwood didn't pay a million for him surely?
Carl the Llama Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Fleetwood didn't pay a million for him surely? Not a chance, they'd have demanded more than that off us if they had. Journo's had a mare there.
Countryfox Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 This will just get better and better ...... don't worry by the time the film comes out I think you will find that he is actually American.
Socks Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 This will just get better and better ...... don't worry by the time the film comes out I think you will find that he is actually American. and his Grandparents were slaves
Guest Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 and his Grandparents were slaves I'm undecided whether Idris Elba should play Bond, but I think he'd be a good choice for Vardy.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 I'm undecided whether Idris Elba should play Bond, but I think he'd be a good choice for Vardy. Idris as Bond me and Mrs BTS have said how brill that would be. Thought we were looking for Wilfred Bramble, RIP ,lookalike for Vards

Jordan Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 I'm undecided whether Idris Elba should play Bond, but I think he'd be a good choice for Vardy.Idris Elba is clearly going to play Wes Morgan.
Countryfox Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 Schwarzenegger to play Huth Ray Winstone to play the Birch ... needs to get some practice in sounding half pissed and saying 'doobrys' all the time ... OJ Simpson to play his namesake of course ...... Rutger Hauer to play Kasper .. (well he's blond and sort of Nordic looking) .... (not sure if he can catch a ball though) .... (but then again that wont matter). John Hurt in full elephant man outfit to play Arsehole Wenger and Steve Walsh to be played by the invisible man ... what does he look like ?? ... does he really exist ???
Guest Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Idris Elba is clearly going to play Wes Morgan. I was thinking more along the lines of John Terry for Morgan. Or Emma Thompson, if she grew her hair out.
FC Halifax Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Fleetwood didn't pay a million for him surely? Pilley confirms fee Fleetwood paid at bottom of o/p.
ScouseFox Posted 25 February 2016 Posted 25 February 2016 first vardy thread i saw. 5 min interview with him on betfair. nothing groundbreaking or new really but seems a sound kid.
Carl the Llama Posted 28 February 2016 Posted 28 February 2016 Looking at the state of it I'm not sure I'd av it, if I know this forum though a dozen tops will av it,the rest **** off back to the tavern and av the cheek to say they've just 'had it'!
