Jamie Vardy's Secret Past Life

There is no doubt Leicester City's Jamie Vardy has had a brilliant few months. The Foxes are champions and Vardy was named Premier League Player of the Season. The striker and England International also only narrowly missed out on the Golden Boot, with Tottenham's Harry Kane cinching the award with 25 goals to Vardy's 24. Despite the stellar season, the 29-year-old had not always lived the fairytale life.

Before: The Premier Hub has obtained a photo taken of the footballer in the earlier days of his career. He looks vastly different to the clean-shaven appearance we are used to seeing. Jamie Vardy was definitely not having a party.

Vardy has, in the past, been convicted of assault, and only just last year, was caught on video making a racial slur towards a man of East-Asian appearance. Though, perhaps the most surprising of his antics in this rags to riches tale, are reports that Vardy may have had a drinking problem. Some recall him regularly turning up to training sessions drunk and dishevelled in his first year with Leicester City. It wasn't until he was spoken to by the club's owners that Vardy was able to turn things around, and turn things around he has.

After: Vardy looks much happier as he gives rival fans the finger.
