It was the clash that was not only set to be gloriously fascinating for football fans, but for anyone who had been following the enthralling Wagatha Christie trial.
For the first time since Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney came face to face in the High Court where they were supporting their warring wives, the two football stars were due to meet as Birmingham City welcome Leicester City to St Andrew’s tomorrow night.
While admittedly it would have been much more exciting if Wayne was still playing, for weeks there has been much chatter among both sides on how they would deal with the face-off.
