Vardy: ‘I’m a nightmare on the pitch'

“I should have scored more," he said, looking back on the previous season when he scored 20 goals for Leicester. 

“If you get four chances in a game and score one, then you watch the other three back and wonder what you could have done differently.

“I scored that goal at West Brom but I got that after 20-something minutes, so the way I look at that is there are still 65 minutes when I could have gone on and scored another. I think you have to be self-critical like that as a striker. You’d love to score every single chance.”

He went on to talk about the perception people have of him, and he sees himself on the pitch. 

“I’m a nightmare on the pitch, aren’t I? I get abuse from opposition fans and give it back to them. But that’s just me – and that’s how it should be; it’s only a bit of banter," he continued.  

"Tottenham’s fans last season were singing something about my wife in the jungle, within a minute I scored and they never said a word about me for the rest of the game.

"At West Brom I always go to the same corner after scoring. There was a photo from the season before, the faces are all the same. Their middle fingers are exactly the same."
