The man who brought Jamie Vardy to Leicester reveals the confidence the striker possesses. When signing for the club in May 2012, Vardy, 28, demanded a bonus from the Foxes should he become an England player. He made his debut against Republic of Ireland on 7 June. Steve Walsh, head of player recruitment at Leicester, said: "He's such a confident lad he actually put in his contract when he joined Leicester for a bonus if he became an England player. Micky Mellon was his manager (at Fleetwood Town) at the time and he said Vardy 'could be anything he wants to be'." This clip was taken from 5 live Sport on 10 November 2015.
