Vardy's pre-match diet: Port, omelette and Red Bull

Vardy said that he started drinking port the night before a match last season as a superstition, because he tried the drink before Leicester's 4-2 victory over Sunderland on the opening game of the season, in which he scored.

"I can't say why it started, because I genuinely don't know, but I decided to drink a glass of port on the eve of every game in the 2015–16 season," Vardy writes in his book.

"I'm not normally superstitious but from the moment I scored against Sunderland on the opening day, I didn't want to change anything.

"I fill a small plastic water or Lucozade bottle to halfway and just sip the port while watching television".

On a match day, Vardy pumps as much caffeine into his body as he can and eats a cheese and ham omelette.

"So three Red Bulls, a double espresso and a cheese-and-ham omelette is what makes me run around like a nutjob on a match day".
