As Vardy and his teammates celebrated at a private party at his house, the man who has risen to the English national team couldn’t hide his emotion.“It’s an unbelievable feeling, I’ve never known anything like it. We were scrapping to stay in the league last season and on Saturday we’ll be lifting the trophy,” Vardy said. “That gives you an idea of how much hard work has gone into this season from every single player and member of staff.
“It’s the biggest achievement in the history of a great club and we all feel privileged to be part of it. It’s even more special to have done it with these lads. Every minute of hard work we’ve put in on the training pitch has been worth it for this moment.”
Vardy will go down in history as one of the main men who helped Leicester achieve the unthinkable. He’s already achieved incredible things this season as he broke a PL record for scoring in 11 consecutive games.
