An ordinary lad from Sheffield, Jamie Vardy has become known as an against-the-odds footballing hero the world over. Yet just a few years ago, things couldn't have been more different. Rejected as a teenager by his boyhood club, Jamie thought his chance had gone. But from playing pub football and earning £30 a week for non-league Stocksbridge Park Steels - while holding down a factory job - his dedication and passion took him on a journey to becoming one of the Premier League's leading stars.

Jamie had a wild and turbulent youth, something he doesn't shy away from. But football became his saving grace and, once he filled his boots at FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, he moved to Leicester City. With a growing sense of focus, Jamie put his head in the game. After the miracle of surviving relegation, Leicester set out on their fairy-tale season. the team of unlikely outsiders bonded together to achieve the unthinkable: Leicester beat odds of 5000-1 to become champions and Jamie set the record as the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches. Defying all expectations, this is the story of the boy from nowhere who reached the top, told in his own unflinchingly honest words.
