Fearless Vardy wants to add another chapter to his fairytale with England

The Leicester City star's jump from the lower leagues to the Three Lions has captivated a nation, but he has no intention of ending the story just yet

Jamie Vardy hopes to add another chapter to his Hollywood story by firing England to glory at Euro 2016.

The Leicester City striker's incredible rise from non-league also-ran to Premier League champion is well-documented and Vardy made his mark on the international stage this week, with an equaliser from the bench as Roy Hodgson's men came from behind to beat Wales 2-1 in Lens.

That victory put England top of Group B, a position they can cement with victory over Slovakia in Saint-Etienne on Monday, and Vardy is in contention for a starting berth amid concerns of the form and fatigue levels of Tottenham's Harry Kane.
