Jamie Vardy’s attitude was the main reason top clubs did not make a move for the former Stocksbridge Park Steels player, according to staff who worked with him.<\/p>\n

Vardy’s career has been in the spotlight, ever since lifting the Premier League title with Leicester City in 2016.<\/p>\n

He was sold by Stocksbridge to Halifax for \u00a320,000 in 2010, before completing a move to Fleetwood Town a year later. After this, he secured a dream switch to the Foxes for a then non-league record fee of \u00a31 million.<\/p>\n

However, according to former manager, Mick Horne, 64, Vardy’s attitude was the main reason clubs didn’t take a risk at the time.<\/p>\n

“I belled a lot of people up including Mick Hennigan (coach at Preston North End), Sheffield United and Wednesday, yet nobody fancied him,” he says.<\/p>\n

“People rejected him because they thought he brought a lot of baggage. When Nottingham Forest watched him, he got sent off. It was stuff like that”.<\/p>\n

The former England International received accolades for showing determination in working his way up through the football pyramid.<\/p>\n

After breaking the record for scoring in consecutive Premier League games, Stocksbridge decided to celebrate the landmark by renaming their main terrace ‘The Jamie Vardy Stand’.<\/p>\n

Despite the concerns from other teams, former chairman of the Steels, Allen Bethel, 80, insisted his work ethic was a level above other players.<\/p>\n

He said: “He was always the first to training and the last one out.<\/p>\n

“Vardy used to destroy teams apart. We knew he’d win with him on the pitch.<\/p>\n

“It was just a shame no one else wanted him other than Halifax.”<\/p>\n

Proving everyone wrong, Vardy rose to the elite level of English football and silenced his doubters. His story will live long in the memory, for every lover of the game.<\/p>\n
