Vinnie Jones was a special guest on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast and joked about his potential involvement in the Jamie Vardy film.

The former Premier League hardman turned Hollywood actor has been approached to play ex-Leicester boss Nigel Pearson in the eagerly-anticpiated movie charting the rise of Vardy from a non-league footballer to England international star.

Jones didn’t rule out playing the role of Pearson, a steely character who famously branded a journalist an ‘ostrich’ in a press conference, but said the production was still in the early stages.
