Jamie Vardy considered quitting football to become a club rep on the Spanish party island Ibiza.
Vardy struggled in front of goal during his first year at Leicester, scoring just five goals in 29 league appearances after making the move up from non-League Fleetwood.
But he was persuaded not to leave by club staff, including current boss Craig Shakespeare.
Shakespeare said: "Myself, Nigel [Pearson] and Steve [Walsh] were here to support him.
"All we did was told him about his attributes and that we thought he could go on.
"We even mentioned then about not only playing in the Premier League but also he had the attributes to play for the national team.
