Just recently, Jamie Vardy was a non-League footballer, on Monday, May 2 he became a Premier League winner with Leicester City afer an excellent season.
His remarkable journey to stardom is set to be documented in his autobiography which will be released in October, 2016.
Non-fiction publishing company Ebury Publishing have signed a deal for the autobiography.
It has been a fairytale year for the striker who has scored 22 goals for Leicester City to aid Leicester in their amazing title win.
He was released by Sheffield Wednesday as a 16-year-old before spells in non-League football with Stocksbridge Park Steels, Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town.
Leicester City surprisingly signed him in 2012 in the Championship before helping the club win promotion to the Premier League.
“While my rise from non-league football has attracted plenty of attention, there is so much that people don’t know, so I’m really excited that I’ve now been given the opportunity to tell the whole story, both on and off the pitch,” Vardy said about the book.
“Even now there are moments when I shake my head at the madness of it all – going from the factory floor and playing Sunday morning pub football with my mates, to scoring for my country against the World Cup winners in Berlin. It’s the stuff of dreams.
“It hasn’t always been an easy journey, some doubted that I was capable, and at times I was probably guilty of not helping myself, but nobody can question my passion for football or my commitment once I set foot on the pitch.
“I look forward to sharing all of that and more in what I hope will be an entertaining and inspiring story.”
