What with Leicester City’s partaking in their own truly remarkable ‘under dog story’ this season (they’re set to win the Premier League didn’t ya na?), it seems that ‘Jamie Vardy-The Movie’ is set to be a genuine actual thing.
Whilst the hilarity of Hollywood’s most handsome names, including a certain Zack Efron, get banded around to play the Foxes striker, it seems the bad guy of the piece – no wait that’s wrong – we mean the ‘good guy’ has been selected courtesy of a Leicester Mercury poll.
That’s right former club manager Nigel Pearson, ousted at the start of last season following some rather messy business involving his son and a Thai masseuse, will be played by non other that Vinnie Jones.
It’s understood that the films producer Adrian Butchart is keen to go along with a poll ran by the newspaper, incidentally Jason Statham and Ray Stevenson just lost out to the former Wales International.
It’s good that voters asked themselves the vital questions, like ‘Who, like Nigel, is a bit mental’?
Seriously, HOW CAN THIS FILM POSSIBLY FAIL?
