I'm not going to criticise the players too much as I think there was heightened security at the time but me and my lad a few years back were waiting at Vicarage Road to meet the players after a match. Most didn't even make eye contact, they just jumped straight on the bus as it was all Watford fans shouting to be fair. 

 

Then Vardy came. Again, kind of ignored us all and got on the bus, but as he was walking up the stairs of the bus he glanced out of the driver's window with me and my lad waving at him in our Leicester shirts. He turned around, jumped down the stairs, ignored all the Watford fans pleading for his attention and came over for a quick photo and high five.

 

It literally made our year that did! 

 

What a guy. I always say they show their true colours when media cameras aren't around. Absolute gentleman and the only one out of 25 players who made an effort/took the risk of saying hello. 

You can usually tell the difference between the ones who weren't pandered too from the age of 15 and a millionaire by 20.

My favourite example of this was in the snow in Randers. I waited for Tielemans with my FA Cup thinking he might sign it if he sees I’m freezing my bollocks off, he walks over and flat out refuses saying “we can’t due to Covid”. Half an hour later the official account posts a video of all of the players signing stuff outside the hotel pre match . I was not happy.

I’ve seen pictures on social, of groups of 3 or 4 people with him… either they’ve been beyond lucky or it looks like people just rocked up as families and were allowed to do it. 

Not a chance, several staff on the door checking tickets. Tickets to be scanned on entry.

Some jobsworth tall bloke walking the length of the queue outside back and forth barking orders for the entirety and advising anyone with more people than tickets to turn around and go home, any under 16s without parents - go home you will not be allowed in. Treat it as match situation etc.

Obviously lots of very very lucky people… or people who have friends on the staff.
