00:00He's Leicester City's greatest ever player.
00:04Inspire an entire generation.
00:06Jamie Vardy is a legend.
00:09What a goal!
00:13Non-league football to Premier League winner.
00:19You either love me or you hate me.
00:22She's strong enough to deal with anything.
00:26Never ever will I apologise for something I didn't do.
00:28Jamie Vardy, your wife is a brat.
00:32Oh boy.
00:35Huge breaking news.
00:36Jamie Vardy is going to leave Leicester City after 13 years at the club.
00:40Who's going to be interested in a 38-year-old striker?
00:44Italy.
00:46On to the next chapter.
00:47Let's go, Jamie!
00:49Look how amazing this is.
00:54I want a documentary of the year of the Vardy family in Italy.
00:58You are!
01:01So how do you say baked beans?
01:03No.
01:04No, with the baked beans.
01:07No!
01:10There's 100% a lot of people that want me to fail.
01:13You must be one of the doubters and you're one that I'll have to feel wrong.
01:19It's not f***ing okay.
01:21They've just taken my f***ing watch.
01:24Five-armed guys with cray bars.
01:27Do you laugh or do you scream?
01:29In Latin times that I've heard you say it's fine, it really winds me up.
01:35Jamie Vardy!
01:36Touch a little heavy from the Englishman.
01:39Too many players on that pitch are scared.
01:42His side are in very dangerous waters.
01:45Mood one out of ten right now.
01:47Zero.
01:49He has to decide whether we are staying or we are going back to England.
01:54Morning!
01:55Yay!
02:04Where is, where's Mummy going today?
02:06I'm not in the forest game.
02:09The kids were trying to come to this game.
02:13But Forest was a bit spicy.
02:14That's fine, thank you.
02:16I love going to Jamie's games but you just never know what sort of reception you're going to get from
02:21the away fans.
02:23Right, have a nice day.
02:24You too, Mum.
02:26Love you.
02:27Love you.
02:28Very sarcastic, love you, wasn't it?
02:31After 13 years, Jamie's leaving Leicester.
02:34We have no idea where he's going next season.
02:37Morning, mate.
02:40Do you get abuse every game you're going to?
02:42Pretty much.
02:43For the past six years, really.
02:47The media's created this persona of me that I'm not a nice person.
02:53What's the point of fighting it?
02:55And the damage is already done.
02:56The story's out there.
02:57People have read it.
02:58People are commenting on it.
03:00People have got their opinions on it.
03:03Inside, I feel like a ticking time bomb.
03:05Like, just make it stop.
03:07Please, just make it stop.
03:08I've had enough now.
03:09It's not fair.
03:14This way, G.
03:15Right, tick it off.
03:17It's there, look.
03:18I'm meeting our friends before the match.
03:21They always look after me during away games.
03:23Oh, boy.
03:25Do you know what?
03:26The best away days with the lads.
03:28Such a good vibe.
03:30Good banter.
03:31Best company.
03:32Love them.
03:35It's massive for me, having the family around while I'm playing.
03:39They're the ones that keep you grounded.
03:41Thirteen years and you're a f***er.
03:44Thirteen years and you're a f***er.
03:46Thirteen years and you're a f***er.
03:47Thirteen years and you're a f***er.
03:48Thirteen years and you're a f***er.
03:48What?
03:48Last ever away game.
03:50I know.
03:51I know.
03:52I
03:53Think it's really hard when you're going to away games especially because it depends where you're sitting as well and
04:01then Jamie
04:02May do something that really winds the fans up and then you've got
04:0830,000 people
04:10Singing and chanting horrendous stuff
04:22Yeah, the chance of bullshit. I hate the fact that Becky's got to go through all that. I
04:28Think football chance
04:29Directed at me will always be a thing
04:33While James playing in England anyway
04:41Oh my god, don't think I'm too popular
04:46It's gonna be emotional like that's 13 years
04:49I'm like, I don't know where we're gonna be in 12 weeks time like that's what I can't get my
04:55head
04:55Oh, hopefully it's not abroad though. I'm not gonna lie
04:58So the thing is like I don't ever see a scenario that we'd stay and Jamie would go
05:03No, yeah, but could you imagine him like living on his own? Yeah, we're right laugh
05:14True
05:19Mwah, okay. Yeah, most importantly to hamstring a wife
05:22Yes
05:23Okay
05:24Is it weird knowing you've got one game, Jamie?
05:27Nope
05:29I'll be honest, I know it sounds really weird, but
05:31I made my decision
05:32Made it personally as well
05:34It was nothing to do with
05:36Me against the club
05:38Club against me
05:42I
05:42Weren't happy
05:44I was not happy
05:46Does it bother you hearing all those chants about Becky?
05:48They're morons that read of national newspaper and think everything's true
05:56And I'll happily say that I
05:58When I get to the white lines, it's
06:01Pfft
06:01That's all gone
06:02I don't, I don't give a shit
06:04If I pop at me, bothered
06:08If I pop at my wife, I'll be pissed off, but when I get on the nights, bothered
06:12Because what I will do is I'll score and I'll just think, you know what, f*** you
06:16And it's lucky I didn't score today
06:18What was your score, what was your celebration going to be today?
06:21If I scored, I was doing Robin Hood
06:24Robin Hood
06:25What, is it like pulling the arrow?
06:27Yeah, I was pulling the arrow back
06:28They literally live off Sherwood Forest and it's not even in Nottingham
06:34Wait, what?
06:35It's not in Nottingham
06:36Robin Hood was Robin of Lockley and Lockley's in Sheffield
06:40You're an encyclopedia of crap, aren't you?
06:43F*** off
06:52There is one name on all the flags
06:54This is all about Leicester City's greatest of all time
06:58As Jamie Vardy says, it's Leicester City guys
07:01This will be his 500th appearance, he's on 199 goals
07:05He's got to get to 200 today, surely, hasn't he?
07:11James Justin to race clear
07:14He's got Jamie Vardy with him
07:16Jamie Vardy sets off
07:17Jamie Vardy!
07:24You just hear it!
07:29Vardy's 500th game for Leicester
07:30Also saw his 200th goal
07:32That's typical of the man that he rose to the big occasion
07:37The journey that Jamie Vardy's been on has been extraordinary
07:41Jamie Vardy, who went on to break records, represent his country and inspire an entire generation
07:48Leicester transformed in the Vardy era
07:51He's kept the city going, really, hasn't he?
07:53He's going to be a massive miss
07:55His name will be spoken about for generations
07:57I feel so lucky and so privileged
08:00That I got to watch Jamie Vardy at the very height of his powers
08:05Let's have a chat with him right now
08:07Jamie
08:09Congratulations
08:11Jamie's final appearance for Leicester City was really emotional
08:13I was on the pitch interviewing him
08:15From the bottom of my heart
08:17Thank you for taking myself and my family in as one of your own
08:21And I hope I've repaid everything for you
08:24But it was a real show of affection from him towards the crowd
08:28And the adoration that came from the stands towards Jamie Vardy
08:31Leicester's greatest ever player
08:33Was just heartwarming
08:37Do you know what?
08:38It actually really hasn't sunk in that
08:40We are finally leaving Leicester
08:43After so many incredible years
08:46Life's not going to be the same again
08:48And I think that's what I'm really
08:50Kind of struggling with
08:53Accepting that
08:54That's actually not going to be our life anymore
09:04It's the end of an era for Leicester City
09:07The end of an era for Jamie Vardy
09:20Yeah, this literally
09:23All my achievements
09:25Shirts I've swapped
09:27England Cups
09:29Hat-trick balls
09:32And I topped it off by branding myself a snooker table
09:37It literally goes from like
09:38These are my non-league
09:40And then from here
09:42All the way across
09:43It's literally from when I signed for Leicester
09:46Until the day I left
09:49Beck sorted it all out in years for me
09:51Because it was all over the place
09:54The truth
09:55This room
09:57Never gets used
09:58But it looks good
10:00Which I think is the main thing
10:03At the minute of the future
10:04I couldn't tell you
10:07I'll be honest
10:07At the minute I'm
10:09Probably a bit too relaxed about it
10:11But that's
10:13That's me
10:14That's
10:16How I am
10:18And fortunately I'm still in a position where
10:21Where I am still able to play
10:23And while my legs are still
10:25Still fully fresh
10:26Which they are
10:27They're not showing signs of
10:29Telling me to stop
10:30Then
10:30Then I'll carry on
10:33Jamie Vardy
10:35So at 38
10:37Where does young Jamie Vardy go?
10:39Well that's a good question isn't it?
10:40He ain't got long left for you footballers
10:42He's getting on as well
10:43I think his agents will be very busy now
10:45Talking to other clubs
10:46To see if they would like
10:47A very experienced
10:48If ageing
10:49Premier League striker
10:52There's a lot that Jamie Vardy has to think about
10:54What's right for his family?
10:55What's right for him?
10:56In terms of a new sporting challenge
10:58What's going to excite him?
10:59Where might he achieve something?
11:00Could he win something?
11:01It's pretty obvious
11:02He's going to struggle to find one place
11:04That ticks all those boxes
11:05You got a hunch about where you might see him next?
11:07Who knows?
11:08Your guess is good as mine
11:09I think he will have offers from clubs in England
11:12Also clubs abroad
11:14And people I don't think appreciate
11:16How difficult it can be
11:17To change environment like that
11:19To move your family up sticks
11:20And go to a new country potentially
11:22So he's got some big decisions to make
11:24Involving Becky and the family
11:25Every step of the way
11:31Behind
11:33Always is
11:37Oh yeah
11:39Just need a destination really
11:41Who knows
11:43At this moment in time
11:44Who knows
11:47Maybe that wherever it is
11:49You do have to go on your own for a bit
11:51Because I don't want to live in a hotel with the kids
11:54Everything has to be lined up
11:55No but like I said earlier
11:57That's just
11:57You need to find somewhere in schools and things
11:59That's a massive thing
12:00Like
12:01It will be fine
12:02But I also think
12:03You know what?
12:04The amount of times that I've heard you say
12:05It's fine
12:06It really f***ing winds me up
12:12You think Becky stresses too much about it
12:14Or you're too relaxed about it
12:16I don't think she's too worried
12:17She isn't
12:18She's thinking always about the kids
12:23And I can't fault her
12:25I think about the kids
12:26I just don't show it as much
12:29So that's why
12:31She'll stress more
12:32But it'll be fine
12:34Always is
12:36Nothing we can do at the minute
12:37We shall see what comes forward
12:42It's been a really really tough
12:45You know
12:45Past kind of five years
12:49Like with all the
12:50All the court staff that went on
12:52People think it was like entertainment
12:54But it was very much not entertainment
12:57For me I was treated
13:00And got treated probably worse
13:02Than paedophiles did
13:05Like never ever ever
13:07Will I apologise for something I didn't do
13:09Hell will freeze over
13:10Before I do that
13:20I literally am in the gym
13:22Five, six times a week
13:25It's just like
13:26I love to keep fit
13:27But it's also like really good
13:29For releasing kind of endorphins
13:32And a mental break for everything
13:35That's going on
13:36This is the story of how a social media post
13:39Led to a libel trial in the high court
13:42Colleen Rooney described how she launched a sting operation
13:45She claimed she'd finally got to the bottom
13:47Of who had been leaking stories about her to the press
13:49Three were published in the sun
13:51Including one about a flood at her house
13:53It's Rebecca Vardy's account
13:56It was one tweet that sent the internet into meltdown
14:00The nickname Wagatha Christie is born
14:03And so was a lawsuit
14:0440-year-old Rebecca
14:05Wife of Leicester striker Jamie Vardy
14:07Denied the allegations
14:09Suing the wife of former England star Wayne Rooney
14:12For defamation
14:13Feels like the start of something quite explosive
14:17Like it wasn't in the public interest
14:19It just gave the media and the public something to talk about relentlessly
14:25Then it was almost a trial by the public and the media
14:28Before it even got to court
14:30The media hounded us
14:33Kids were going to school
14:35Bin liners up against the window
14:37I just don't think it's right
14:39You know the kids don't need to see that sort of thing
14:42This girl is so obsessed with Colleen
14:45That is pretty scumbag behaviour isn't it
14:47Trolling, death threats and public humiliation
14:51When it all came out
14:52My first point of call was the schools
14:56I called each school and I said
14:58Look this is what's just happened
15:00I need to make sure you protect the kids from this
15:03I mean fortunately for the kids
15:04They didn't really see it
15:06I mean well except for one morning
15:09When some dickhead photographer tried ramming a car off the road
15:11He follows me out of the house
15:16He literally overtook me
15:18And then turned down on the top road
15:20And literally drove right at me
15:21Just so he could get a picture of me
15:23Looking, looking upset
15:24And it was, it was terrifying
15:29People forget that
15:31You know I was seven months pregnant
15:32I was afraid to go out
15:34I was afraid to go into public
15:37In case I was with the kids
15:39And you know I got a tap
15:40You fat ugly rat
15:42I genuinely hate you
15:44And your baby rock
15:45Don't, don't read
15:46Someone that was barling and crying on loose women
15:48She loves her face out there
15:50Jamie come and get your wife
15:51We don't want to see her no more
15:55Do you know what
15:56I don't even know
15:57How have I managed to get through that
15:59But if I hadn't been as strong as I am
16:01I probably wouldn't be here today
16:04Because it probably would have literally driven me
16:07Completely over the edge
16:09Becky's a strong woman
16:10If she wasn't
16:11It would have definitely, definitely broke her
16:15100%
16:16But that's not her
16:19She's strong enough to deal with anything
16:21I'll tell you that for a fact
16:26It's been three years since the Instagram post
16:28Rebecca Vardy is suing over
16:30But determined to clear her name
16:32She finally took to the stand
16:33We're hearing from the press association
16:35That Rebecca Vardy has lost that high court liable case
16:39It's a disaster for Rebecca Vardy
16:42She's effectively been found to be a liar
16:44By a high court judge
16:45Which is going to be hanging around her neck
16:48For the rest of her life
16:51Of course, like, I'm living with
16:53The judgment that the judge made
16:55And still to this day, in my opinion
16:57She was wrong
17:00People thinking that Bex is the villain
17:02That's just a load of shit
17:04A load of shit
17:05But everyone close to her knows
17:08That's all she needs
17:12People constantly go
17:13Well, it's not going to change unless you apologise
17:15I'm apologising for something I didn't do
17:18Like, never, ever, ever will I apologise
17:21For something I didn't do
17:22It's never going to happen
17:23Hell will freeze over before I do that
17:27It's over, it's done
17:28And, you know, I'm not going to carry on
17:30Living in the past
17:33I'm so fucking bored of it
17:37Like, I don't have any negative feelings towards her whatsoever
17:41Some people might go, oh, that's bullshit
17:44Whatever, that's your opinion
17:47And if I ever saw her or bumped into her, you know
17:51People assumed that it would be, like, handbags at dawn
17:55Birkins at dawn
17:57Whatever they want to say
17:58Wag war war or whatever fucking hell
18:01I forgot how many headlines would be wag wars
18:05But it wouldn't, like
18:07Like, my peace is too important
18:09What do you think she thinks of you?
18:13I've got no idea what she thinks of me
18:15But I'm not bothered
18:19Is there anything else you want to say on it
18:21In terms of
18:22Sort of
18:25No
18:27Nah, let's leave it there
18:29Otherwise it'd get messy
18:35It was really tough seeing Bex, obviously, in pain
18:40Obviously all the crap coming her way
18:44And as a husband, the only thing you can do is be there for her
18:50It's just down to me to make sure I look after her the best I can
18:55Mine and Jamie's relationship is incredible
18:59He's like my rock
19:01And just like any rock
19:03You occasionally have the urge to pick it up and throw it through the fucking window
19:11Mwah!
19:14His laid-back attitude to pretty much everything in life really pisses me off sometimes
19:18But I actually think I need that because that very much is the calm to my storm
19:26I swear to fucking God
19:27Do you expect to argue?
19:29No, not really
19:31It's weird, we never have anything to argue about
19:34If that hits me, I swear to God
19:38It's such an idiot
19:39Throughout all the shit, we've never let it affect us at all
19:42I could get injured
19:44Then you will be stressing
19:45If anything, that's just made us even stronger as we are
19:50I'm going, I'm going
19:52You're annoying
19:54Mwah!
19:54Why are you?
19:56No!
19:56I like this
19:57No!
19:58You've definitely had a banana
19:59Fuck off
20:01You just said cuddles and kisses when you got home
20:04Not when you had a banana
20:06I haven't got a banana in my life
20:06You have?
20:07I can smell banana
20:08It's all in your head
20:09Oh!
20:10Fucking hate bananas
20:11I'm stuck
20:14I can literally still smell banana
20:20Chicken banana
20:22Chicken banana
20:22Do it, Lollies, do the dance
20:24Chicken banana
20:26Chicken banana
20:27Chicken banana
20:29Chicken banana
20:29What are you talking about?
20:31Do you know what?
20:32We are such a normal family
20:35I'm just a normal mum
20:37Just the same as everyone else
20:39Jamie and I have been together for nearly 12 years now
20:42We have five kids, but if you include Jamie in that
20:45That makes six
20:48So we've got Olivia, who's the youngest
20:50She's a baby of the family
20:51We've then got Finlay, who is just Jamie's double
20:56Then we've got Sophia, and she's the genius of the family
21:01Taylor, he's as sporty as they come
21:04And then we've got Megs, who's in her final year of university
21:08I dare you to come riding in on that horse
21:10I'll give you a tenner
21:15Oh, damn it, eh?
21:17Yeah, you owe me a tenner
21:18Taylor and Meg's from previous relationships
21:23But Jamie's literally stepped up and is like a dad to both of them
21:28For me, moving clubs, I think the most important thing is
21:31I want the family there
21:34Especially the kids, like
21:36Leicester's all they've ever known
21:38That's been them since birth
21:41I have to explain to them that in football
21:43What I've done for the past 13 years is not normal
21:46You don't normally stay at a club for that long
21:48But fortunately I've been able to be at the same place
21:52And keep it quite normal for the kids
21:54So they've had it good
21:57Now it's just a little change that will be tough
22:01But I think we've just got to, with the kids
22:03Treat it as like an adventure wherever we go
22:08Then the questions arise like
22:09Well, where are we going?
22:11Are we going to have to leave schools?
22:13Are we going to have to leave our house?
22:16Olivia's first thing was
22:17Are we going to have to leave the stables?
22:18And then it was
22:19Are we going to have to leave the bar?
22:21And I'm like
22:22Why is the five-year-old saying
22:23Are we going to have to leave the bar?
22:25I think the next few months
22:27Are going to be really interesting
22:29But as with everything in football
22:31You just never know where you're going to be
22:33We literally just have to wait and see now
22:36What should he do next?
22:38Leeds, maybe someone
22:39You know, I think he'd be better off
22:40Being in the bigger team
22:41And coming off the bench
22:42And being a backup striker
22:43Or he goes to America
22:44Or what you mentioned before
22:46Rory is Wrexham
22:47Jamie Vardy will have offers coming in
22:49Right across the world
22:50I know there are a number of clubs
22:51Interested in him
22:52Europe
22:52A lot of Premier League clubs
22:53Are still interested in Jamie Vardy
22:55Even at the age of 38
22:56And to have the experience of Jamie Vardy
22:59The character of Jamie Vardy
23:00Around the place
23:01Because he's a proven goalscorer
23:03And they have an elite currency
23:06It wouldn't surprise me
23:07If there was a fight
23:08To try and get Jamie Vardy's signature
23:14I want him to enjoy a new start somewhere
23:16I support Jamie with whatever he does
23:19I've always supported him
23:20But equally
23:22I haven't just got to think about that
23:24I've got the children to think about
23:25I've got to think about house
23:27I've got to think about moving their schools
23:28They're different ages
23:29Am I going to be able to get places for them all?
23:33Do you know what?
23:34Sometimes you just need a bit of quiet
23:36Although there's not much quiet
23:38Because I can hear the lambs going
23:39Rrrr
23:42I know how you feel lambs
23:44I'm going off to the slaughter
23:46I feel the same
23:50Finally, after weeks
23:52Maybe even a couple of months of speculation
23:54And the news finally came through
23:56Jamie Vardy
23:57Is going to Italy
24:04I want a documentary
24:06Of the year of Vardy
24:07And the Vardy family
24:08In Italy
24:09When he arrives at training at 9am
24:12With his Red Bull
24:12When everybody's drinking their espresso
24:14I just want to see the Vardy's in Italy
24:17Please somebody make it happen
24:19I want you, Marita
24:20Hey!
24:37It's official
24:38Last night Jamie Vardy has come to Italy
24:40And signed a one-year contract
24:42With newly promoted Cremonese
24:44We will be bringing you updates
24:46From Vardy's press conference
24:47Later on in the day
24:50I'm going to give you
24:51A real unfiltered
24:53Sense of the last 24 hours
24:55The last 24 hours
24:56Have been a total shit show
25:00Yesterday morning
25:01We were all on holiday in Portugal
25:02Chilling
25:04Rosé
25:04Life couldn't get any better
25:06And then Jamie tells me
25:07He's going to go and sign for a Dutch team
25:10And I asked him
25:11Are you sure?
25:12But he seemed pretty sure at that point
25:15So I thought
25:15Okay, fine
25:16Let's go with it
25:17We're going to Holland
25:18But literally
25:19Just as we were boarding the flight home from Portugal
25:21He changed his mind
25:23Of course
25:24Standard Jamie
25:27Landed back at the UK at 3
25:29Dropped the kids off
25:31And went straight back to the airport
25:35Back out on the flight
25:36And for Italy
25:37Oh my god
25:38So we get off the plane
25:39Meet and greet some reps from the club
25:42Trying to leave the airport
25:43And we were mobbed by Cremonese fans
25:45Let's go Jamie
25:49The guy who I've just signed his leg
25:50Has got a tattoo of my face on his leg
25:54It was insane
25:55Back to the hotel
25:56Quickly get changed
25:57And then off to sign contracts
25:58By this point
25:59I'm absolutely shattered
26:01Then we had dinner with the owner
26:02Finally get to the hotel around 4am
26:04Grabbed a few hours sleep
26:05And then back out again
26:07Jamie has to go and do press
26:09And I've been tasked with finding schools
26:11And a place to live
26:15So yeah, so that's how we ended from now on
26:24So I'm out here with Lee
26:26Who works with Jamie
26:27And our really good family friend
26:30And Sophia's godfather
26:31Eli
26:31Oh, I need some tablets
26:34I've got the worst period
26:36Thank you
26:36Jesus
26:37Sorry
26:41Cremonese want Jamie playing ASAP
26:44Which means I need to find a house
26:47To be able to move out here
26:49ASAP
26:52Is that a broken window?
26:58With no disrespect to the owner
27:01It smelled mouldy
27:03It looked awful
27:05It was so dark
27:06There was things that were broken
27:08I'm not walking that way
27:10Like, I'm not being a diva, but
27:13The garden looked like a graveyard
27:15At this stage
27:20I wouldn't be surprised
27:22I thought that was a tombstone then
27:29Tell them what you're thinking
27:31I can't
27:32It's too rude
27:33I'm just trying to keep an open mind
27:35What the fuck is down here?
27:40This is the cellar
27:42That is completely here
27:44Around the house
27:45To keep without you
27:46I thought
27:47There were dead bodies down there
27:49It's rice from the land
27:51This is the master bedroom
27:54Just need a pole there
27:56What?
27:56You just need a pole
27:58Elio
27:59Here
28:00Oh, yes
28:00This is a good bedroom
28:02This one
28:02We put a pole down here
28:06And we have some fun in there
28:09You've had a few parties
28:10He's going out for the TV
28:12Oh, that's a pole coming up
28:13Did you hear that?
28:17I love Elio
28:18And thank God he's with me
28:21Because it's his job
28:23To stop me losing my absolute mind
28:25While Jamie's off doing football stuff
28:29How is this?
28:31Thirteen grand a month?
28:33You've got fucking dungeons downstairs
28:34No!
28:36I'm surprised there's no baby oil in there
28:46This is a video
28:47Yeah
28:50I'm always in a museum of the violins
28:56Welcome to Cremona
28:58A jewel of Northern Italy
28:59Just a short journey from Milan
29:01For centuries these elegant streets have echoed with craftsmanship and culture
29:07Here the world famous tradition of violin making was born
29:11The legacy of Stradivari still alive in every note
29:15And in modern times passion thrives in the heart of Cremona
29:19The beloved football team that unites the city in pride and spirit
29:24With its magnificent architecture, warm atmosphere and rich heritage
29:30Cremona invites you to discover a place where history, music and sport live side by side
29:36Cremona
29:38Timeless, vibrant, unforgettable
29:44Come here!
29:46Come here!
29:47Go for some more filming!
29:49Timmy!
29:50Timmy!
29:56Do you like press conferences?
29:57Fucking hate them
29:59Can't stand them
29:59Don't like press conferences at all
30:02You've got to be so careful
30:04That you don't say something that's not PG
30:07Or something that you can get in trouble for
30:08That's why literally every single one of my interviews I ever do
30:12With football and stuff
30:14It's virtually the same answers
30:15Monotone
30:17Just so I know that I can't get in trouble
30:19Hello everyone, welcome along to Jamie Vardy's first press conference here at the Violin Museum
30:28If someone had said to me only a month ago
30:31That we'd be able to sign a player of the ilk of Jamie Vardy
30:35Would have described them as perhaps a little crazy or maybe even a visionary
30:40We know a number of Premier League clubs wanted to sign Jamie Vardy
30:43So it's a real coup for Cremonese that they got his signature
30:47A newly promoted club in Serie A
30:49With very much an unknown quantity to it
30:52Jamie Vardy to Cremonese
30:53Here we go!
30:54Have you heard of Vardy?
30:56Yes, but crazy
30:57It's a Cremonese
30:58It's a Cremonese
30:58It's a Cremonese
30:59He won the Premier
31:00He was the captain of the captain of England
31:04I can't describe it
31:07For us it's like a Maradona come to the city
31:10Vardy party in the Serie A
31:12I mean how can you not fall in love with that?
31:14Here obviously Jamie has a story
31:16He has a very important status on his shoulders
31:18But especially for how he came to it
31:20And for what he did in his career
31:23I think Jamie sees a lot of similarities between Cremonese
31:26With his own underdog story
31:28I mean he worked in a factory
31:30While he was playing for Stocksbridge Steel
31:31And went on to become a full England international
31:34And a Premier League winner
31:35So you can see why his story would resonate with the Cremonese fans
31:40I hope he can give the Cremonese a minimum of what he gave to Leicester
31:43You helped perform a miracle at Leicester City
31:47I don't know how familiar you are with Cremonese's club history
31:50But the club have won one piece of silverware in their history
31:53Yeah, they beat Derby
31:54I think that's what makes it exciting
31:57And a good challenge that I want to succeed personally
32:00And if I succeed personally then
32:04Fingers crossed that means this team will be successful as well
32:08In Italy we're a little bit sceptical
32:10About players like you that are approaching their 40th birthday
32:14How fit are they?
32:15What would you say in response to those sceptics?
32:19You must be one of the doubters
32:22And you're one that I'll have to prove wrong
32:32I love Italy
32:33I think Italy is an amazing country
32:36We've just not been able to find yet
32:39The right accommodation
32:40And I think we're going to have to start looking a bit further afield
32:45It's a very fortunate problem to have
32:50But I'm not going to deny it
32:53It's stressful
32:59It would have been easier to go to Holland
33:02It would have been easier to go to Holland
33:25And the family are following him
33:26So we're looking for an international school
33:29And I've been giving you a number
33:30House hunting was a literal washout
33:33But hopefully we're going to have more luck with the schools
33:36Is he going to be playing for Criminese?
33:39He is, yes
33:40Yes
33:40Okay, because the manager of Criminese called me earlier on today
33:45And he said that you might be calling me
33:47I just need to know the ages
33:49The dates, birth of the children
33:51Because then I can check
33:52Okay, let me give you
33:53Okay, let's start with the youngest
33:55Olivia
33:55Olivia, how old is Olivia?
33:57So she's six
33:58I don't have space in that class
34:00We have completely full in the first year of primary
34:02Okay, next one
34:03Um, Finley
34:05Finley
34:05Eight for the first, 17
34:07And then you have Sophia
34:1022nd, 10, 14
34:11And then Taylor
34:13Yeah
34:1310, 0, 1, 10
34:15Unfortunately, for the two younger ones
34:18My classes are completely full
34:20It don't work
34:22They have to be together, that's the only thing
34:25Forza ragazzi, andiamo
34:27In the camera
34:29Forza ragazzi, andiamo
34:31Forza ragazzi
34:33Andiamo
34:33Andiamo
34:34In the camera
34:35I'm a sparse with me
34:37Amore
34:38Amore
34:39Amore
34:39Amore
34:40Amore
34:41The fans out here have been great so far
34:43They've not got a clue what they're saying in Italian or anything like that
34:46It just goes in one ear and out the other
34:50100% gonna try learning the language
34:51Being my age is gonna be tough
34:55Except for swearing, I'll be fine
34:57Passa la pala
34:58Ah, I've even got a pala
35:00It's easy this language stuff innit
35:02Forza cremenesi
35:03Yeah, you can edit all that together as soon
35:08Taylor, the older boy, is going to high school
35:12In my opinion, the best school for Taylor
35:14For Guido Carli for Taylor
35:15Which is completely, it's in the city
35:18Taylor's old enough to get public transport
35:21Yeah, we wouldn't
35:22No, we wouldn't
35:23No, we wouldn't
35:24No, I mean
35:24I think you're so used to
35:26I know what you're saying, but
35:28That's just not gonna happen, is it?
35:30Like, I am the transport
35:32I am the private chauffeur
35:34I am the taxi
35:35Thanks
35:36We'll see you soon, hopefully
35:37Bye-bye
35:39Like, I thought it was gonna be hard, but this is hard
36:00Hello darling, how are you feeling straight up?
36:02I'm stressed
36:03Very stressed out
36:04I've got all the visas to sort
36:06I can't get the kids into school until I've got the visas
36:08Yeah
36:09I can't sort the visas until I've got a property
36:11Yeah
36:12Because I need a fixed dress
36:13Yeah, of course
36:14Like, my brain is so pride
36:16Yeah
36:18But, like, people will look at this and go, oh
36:21No sympathy whatsoever, you know, you've got an amazing life
36:24But actually, that doesn't take away from the fact that
36:26There's, you know, little kids involved in this
36:30That didn't ask for this change
36:32It should get easier
36:34Let's wait and see what tomorrow brings
36:35New villas, new school
36:38Let's wait and see
36:39I hope it's not fucking raining
36:41Is it usually like this?
36:42No!
36:43No!
36:43I've never seen rain in Milan
36:44All the years have come
36:45I've never, never seen rain
36:47I think we need a drink, love
36:48I need more than a drink
36:49I need a bottle
36:50I need a bottle
36:50I need a bottle of a straw
36:56Hello, Jamie
36:57Hi, are you okay?
36:57Thank you
36:58Thank you
36:59Thank you
37:08This is going to take a while to get used to
37:08That looks strange
37:09Where's our expert?
37:09This is going to take a while to get used to
37:11Yeah
37:15$15.48
37:17How much would that cost?
37:20Priceless
37:23Can I get two?
37:24I'm only messing
37:31So Jamie's just been having his photo shoot
37:34And I was looking through the pictures
37:36Just to check
37:37Because I'm a bit OCD about like messy lines and stuff
37:43And I looked
37:45And I was like, oh no that can't go out
37:48Can you take another one?
37:50And then I went and whispered in his ear that
37:52His ball was basically bulging down the sides
37:55So it made him look like he had a massive leg on
37:58So, totally inappropriate
38:00Come on
38:01Yeah, get him, Bex
38:03I know you know
38:09Oh, I don't take care
38:11Jamie Vardy!
38:13Jamie Vardy!
38:15Jamie Vardy!
38:15Jamie Vardy!
38:16Jamie Vardy!
38:16There are awful lot of firsts here
38:17Jamie Vardy is Cremonese's first ever English player
38:20He's also their highest paid player of all time
38:24Come on, Cremon
38:25I think most people expected Jamie Vardy to retire
38:28When he left Leicester City
38:29But he had a point to prove
38:30He always has a point to prove
38:33There is 100% a lot of people that want me to fail
38:37I mean I've always had doubters
38:39I think I always will
38:41I just think it's because I come from non-league
38:43They'll always say, oh that's it, you're done
38:45Legs are gone
38:47He's not a natural born striker
38:48He's too old
38:50He's too slow
38:51His legs must have gone
38:53Even at the age of 38
38:54He'll still want to be out on the football pitch
38:56He loves the animosity that he engenders
39:00From opposing fans
39:01He feeds off that
39:02He will bait them
39:03And then score a goal
39:05And remind them
39:05That they were giving him stick
39:06Just a few minutes before
39:08And that is what he'll bring to Cremonese
39:10This isn't the end for Jamie Vardy
39:12This is the start of a new chapter
39:14And I think he's determined to prove that
39:16At the highest level he can
39:18Yeah, it's down to me to prove that
39:21These legs still feel mid-twenties
39:25To stick two fingers up at them and go
39:28What were you saying?
39:29Yeah, so let's see
39:31Next season we go again
39:35Really sweet
39:37Really sweet
39:38Yeah
39:38Can I go home now?
39:39Maybe
39:41No more questions tonight
39:47Jump in the back
39:49Let's see
39:49Let's see
39:50Let's see
39:55Leicester fan just messaged me
39:57Saying all the Cremonese shirts have sold out
40:01Not my fault
40:02I think it might be
40:06Should have ordered some more
40:08Do you bring your car in Vardy?
40:09Yeah, I'm bringing my Lambo
40:11You're bringing it?
40:12Yeah, fantastic
40:13Well, it's Italian, innit?
40:20Can't beat a free beer, though
40:22Oh
40:24Grazie
40:25Grazie
40:26Ciao
40:34What's happened?
40:46Come on, Cremon
40:54The eyes of the footballing world will be on Cremonese this weekend
40:58As new record singing Jamie Vardy prepares to make his eagerly anticipated home debut
41:05I've got Palmer on the weekend
41:09Everyone's flying out
41:12The kids haven't seen daddy for so long
41:14They're so excited to see him now
41:16And even more excited to see him play for me too
41:23Loads of our family are coming over because they don't want to miss Jamie's first home game
41:26So no pressure
41:31Gonna go and explore Cremona
41:33Are you excited about today then?
41:35Yeah
41:35Yeah
41:36I think actually it's just like really nice seeing what Italy is actually like in person
41:41There's so many good things as well
41:43And then in winter we're about to ski
41:46Skiing
41:46It's crazy
41:47It's gonna be fantastic
41:49She's really excited
41:50Bellissimo
41:51Bellissimo
42:05Bellissimo
42:06Obviously it's his first home game
42:08Family are obviously like excited to watch him
42:10And we are as well
42:13No, no
42:13God
42:20Thank you
42:21I've got one mission and one mission only for myself personally
42:24And that's to get on the score sheet and prove that I can do it
42:28Fingers crossed that it'll be a decent performance and a decent result.
42:33It's weird though, isn't it?
42:35Like seeing the kids in different kids.
42:37Yeah.
42:38They've all grown up in blue kids.
42:40Yeah.
42:42Do you think there's a chance he doesn't succeed at Cremonese?
42:44This is a new challenge at Cremonese with lots of unknown factors
42:47that he's never come across before.
42:49Would I bet against him?
42:51No, I don't think I would.
42:58Welcome to today's Cremonese and Parma at the Giovanni Zini Stadium.
43:02This is a historic meeting, the first time these two promoted sites have faced each other
43:05in the top flight since April 1996.
43:14What's happening?
43:15I don't know what's happened.
43:17That's the problem.
43:26I just woke up, the muscles were a bit sore, and as a precaution, went to get a scan.
43:31Called him and I was like, would you like to tell me what's going on?
43:34Like, what's happened?
43:39Showed a little tear in my quad, but don't know how it's happened.
43:45Because of the kids and everyone have come over as well to watch the first game.
43:49Yeah, daddy's not playing.
43:53The big signing of the summer, the man who might keep them in Serie A,
43:57and then he can't play because of an injury, he will be absolutely devastated.
44:02He's under even more pressure to succeed because he's uprooted his entire family,
44:06shifted them to Italy, so this has to work.
44:10Otherwise, you know, what's it all been for?
44:12You know, why?
44:14Why have we moved?
44:15What was the upheaval for?
44:22It's not fucking okay.
44:23They've just taken my fucking watch.
44:26Jamie Vardy's Italian villa was raided by a gang of robbers.
44:30When something like this happens, it makes you question everything.
44:34It's horrible.
44:35Actually, that really got along, though.
44:37Vieri!
44:38He's hurt himself.

44:44His side are in very dangerous waters.
44:48Too many players on that pitch are scared.
44:50Maybe the best thing to do is take them home.
44:54Does he want to stay?
44:56Is he prepared to rip his contract up?
44:59Do you want to stay?
45:00Do you want to stay?
45:00Do you want to stay?
45:00Do you want to stay?
45:00Do you want to stay?
