He's not a hero or a role model, or someone most of us would want to spend time with, but he has helped bring a lot of success our way and gives his all. Wether it's for himself or us, who cares? Since most of us are likely to only come across Vardy in a football context let's judge him on that, not on being a piece of sh1t. Not a hero? He'll always be a hero of mine, and especially for turning down a move to Arsenal at his age.

What I meant his general behaviour off the field doesn't make him a shining example for kids in some ways unlike someone like Beckham or Gerrard has been but that doesn't mean it should take away from what he does for us on the field.
treer Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 In 20 years time, Cambio wont even be known by Leicester kids, while Vardy will be folklore

One man who cheated on his wife and kids (vardy doesnt seem like the sort to do that) and another man who smashed a guy in the face in a bar and got away with it? (I'll add allegedly to both of them). Great examples lid.
kingcarr21 Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 Only up to page 40 but enjoying it so far. The street i grew up on has the same name as Vardys. That's my claim to fame

They are both football ambassadors, thoughtful and well-spoken (whether through training or not), have strong ties with the clubs they played for in their career and inspire kids. Vardy on the other hand is known for diving, swearing, drinking and his antics down Casinos. Why argue for the sake or arguing? I don't believe you really think Vardy is a better role model than Beckham or Gerrard for kids, your own kids if you have them. If you actually do then you are an idiot (and a misguided parent). Doesn't change the fact I'd rather Vardy played for us than Beckham in his prime, would have to take prime Gerrard over Vardy to be fair.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 The players, the manager and the backroom staff all contributed to our first season back in the Premier League. Cambiasso wasn't the main reason we finished 14th. The players, the manager and the backroom staff all contributed to our second season back in the Premier League. Ranieri wasn't the main reason we finished 1st. Team effort both times and the same will be true this year, whatever happens. Not sure what is gained by picking it all apart.

Nice guy or not, he was outstanding in the final third of that season and a good few games before too. That really is an outrageous comment. There are many who think exactly the opposite. If Cambiasso hadn't of left, the best midfield partnership in the Prem (by a country mile) in Drinkwater and Kante wouldn't have evolved and we wouldn't have won the league. Thank God he chose to retire to Greece.

I suppose it comes down to a person's own set of morals as to which player is the better role model for children. On the one hand, you have a person with young children who cheated on his wife, which could have broken up the family causing stress for the children and wife. On the other hand you have a person who uttered a 3 letter insult at an adult in a late night casino argument. Which ever you think is worse, calling someone an idiot for having the opposite view yo yourself is ignorant, and stupid..

Well into isn't outrageous at all to suggest that if we had no Cambiasso in 2014/15 we would have been relegated so it certainly isn't outrageous to say we wouldn't have won the title without his input. Whether or not it's a good thing he retired to Greece when he did is another matter.
Raj Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 Why we into this Cambo v Vardy thing? Both had/have a massive influence in our club and should be remembered as such when Vardys times up. The amount of goals last season,the memories he gave,the no shit attitude. From journeyman worker to multi millionaire... Good on him and what great great story. He may not be your role model of choice but he's just a lad from the streets done good...Why the animosity?

ARTY_FOX Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 Everyone personally insulting vardy is going way OTT. Unless you know the bloke personally how can you call him a "**** as a person" or "ratty little chav" especially when his colleagues seem to think he's a top bloke.
Bert Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 I just don't get why people seem to take other people's personal lives into their own hands or get such a bee in their bonnet about what they get up to. As long as when they represent Leicester they give 100%, that's good enough for me.

Stevosevic Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 I bet a lot of you liked a drink and swore with your mates when you were in your 20s too. Have a word with yourselves. He's a footballer, not the parent of every child in the ground. If a child turns out badly its not because he saw JV swearing on a football pitch, it's down to the parents.

Vardy has probably inspired a lot of men playing part time that they can still make it. Beckham and Gerrard have both had their off the field moments. They're both ambassadors of the game because they were great players, won everything, had 100 plus caps for england etc....being great blokes hasnt taken them to the levels they were at.

If your kids are looking to footballers for models on how to behave in life, you have seriously failed at parenting.

No idea why you feel the need to be this way just because you thought he'd be a bad signing. Turns out he was unreal for us. Although, from experience, you have a very hard time admitting that you were wrong yet are always so fast to ram it down everyone's throats whenever you're right. Shame.
Stadt Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 You can think Vardy is a right cünt and still appreciate that he's a legend. If Esteban really did think he was a coach and undermined Morgan I'm pretty sure Pearson wouldn't have stood for it if it wasn't beneficial.

It doesn't. You simply tell your kids 'he's only a footballer, now get on with your homework' Very simple that one.

There is a difference to having a sporting idol and wanting replicate skills. To thinking I want to replicate everything about them.
