Jamie Vardy is the epitome of an irrepressible sportsperson. The Foxes legend holds as much affection from his own LCFC fan base as is, really, humanly possible! Indeed, the Blue Army's only gripe is that he actually left them at all.

Regarding the ex-England man's Leicester City departure: fingers were pointed at then-director of football (now the so-called chief football officer) Jon Rudkin. When asked about that rumour, Vardy only basically said, revealingly, 'I can neither confirm, nor deny'.

Consequently, it is unlikely expect "Vards" to return to the King Power while Rudkin is still prowling the corridors of power. As for the romantic notion of him returning to LE2 as a potential coach one day, prospectively not; yet, supporter hope shall eternally remain for a poignant reunion.

"But what is next for Vardy?

"Management? No. I've not really thought about it," he says. "I've not looked that far down the line."

​The narrative of his continental odyssey ultimately took a fascinating turn toward Lombardy. As a matter of fact, Cremona might not have been blessed by the No.9 (now No.10 in Serie A), who declined the interest of one specific team; surely alongside many others.

Feyenoord was said to be that side. Reports indicate that Robin van Persie, the Dutch club's manager, personally extended a proposal to the talismanic striker, envisioning him as the spearhead of a revamped Eredivisie attack. However, it appears that the one-time Arsenal and Manchester United attacker failed in that hijack attempt.

"Vardy knew when he chose Cremonese over Dutch club Feyenoord in the summer that he was joining a team facing a relegation battle"

Vardy's allegiance essentially shifted toward the City of Violins, where the allure of the Grigiorossi proved more intoxicating than the prospect of de Kuip. This rejection of the Rotterdam giants underscores Vardy's idiosyncratic career path, opting for the tactical rigours of Italian football over de Trots van Zuid.

In the twilight of a storied career, the veteran remains as discerning as he is dangerous. Proving that even as his jersey number changes, his uncompromising spirit remains entirely intact.
