In many ways, the rise and rise of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy from dodgy-looking scrote who plays non-league football to dodgy-looking scrote who plays Premier League football, is a modern- day fairytale.
Except in this Disney story, the beautiful princess is a dodgy-looking scrote, the fairy godmother is a greying Italian manager, and the wicked witch is, erm, Arsene Wenger – if only because he looks like one. And it seems Nigel Pearson, the man who gave Vardy his big break in the top flight, is likely to be played by fellow nutjob Vinnie Jones. Considering the fact Pearson continually courted controversy during his time as Leicester boss, including the time he held a rival player down by the throat, we can kind of see why they’d pick Jones. Not to mention the fact that they both look like they’ve been smashed in the face with a frying pan. One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson rumoured to be in line to play the main man himself, so presumably Zayn Malik will play Pearson’s son, who was famously sacked by the club for having an orgy with 10 Thai girls.
British film writer and producer Adrian Butchard, is the driving force behind the project. Butchard was the guy who brought us the ‘Goal’ franchise of films, so the omens aren’t good. But we’re in for a bit of a wait anyway because he wants to wait until after Euro 2016 before piecing the story together. Although considering England will more than likely go out after losing to Wales in the group stages, we think his ending for the film is about as happy as it’s going to get.
