<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The<i> Sunday Times </i>Bestseller and Number 1 Sport Book of 2016 <p/>'A tale that's truly inspirational' The <i>Sun<br></i></b><br>An ordinary lad from Sheffield, Jamie Vardy has become known as an against-the-odds footballing hero the world over. Yet a few years ago, things couldn't have been any more different. Rejected as a teenager by his boyhood club, Jamie thought his chance was gone. But from playing pub football and earning £30 a week at Stocksbridge Park Steels, while still working in a factory, his off-the-cuff performances saw him rise. <p/>Jamie had a wild and turbulent youth, but football became his saving grace and, once he filled his boots with goals at FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, he moved to Leicester City. After the miracle of surviving relegation, the team of unlikely outsiders bonded together to achieve the unthinkable: Jamie set the record as the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches and Leicester beat odds of 5000-1 to become champions. <p/>Jamie has now been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, firmly establishing himself as one of England's leading goal scoring footballers. Not forgetting his roots, however, he has set up the V9 Academy in a bid to find the next big talent from non-league football. Defying all expectations, this is the story of the boy from nowhere who reached the top in his own unflinching, honest words.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jamie Vardy's searingly honest warts and all account of his rise from football's lowest foothills to the Premier League summit has been the talk of football." --Sean Hamilton, <i>The Sun</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jamie Vardy is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Leicester City and the England team.
