CHAMPIONS: Vardy Privileged After Title Glory

- The 22-goal striker labelled the title win as an ‘unbelievable feeling’ 

- Vardy explained how hard work on the training pitch proved to be a major factor in the Foxes’ success this term 

After Leicester City were crowned Barclays Premier League champions, Jamie Vardy paid tribute to his hard-working team-mates after they secured one of the most unlikely titles in footballing history. 

Following what can only be described as a sensational campaign, the Foxes were confirmed as 2015/16 Premier League winners after Tottenham Hotspur failed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening. 

The first team squad gathered at Vardy’s house to watch the match, and the striker, who on Monday was named the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year after netting a remarkable 22 Premier League goals to date, reflected humbly on what him and his team-mates had achieved. 

Tipped as relegation favourites at the start of the season, City brushed aside their Premier League opponents and smashed records along the way to write their names into sporting history. 

Explaining what it feels like to help Leicester City secure their first top flight title in 132 years, Vardy told LCFC.com: “It’s an unbelievable feeling, I’ve never known anything like it. We were scrapping to stay in the league last season and on Saturday we’ll be lifting the trophy. 

“That gives you an idea of how much hard work has gone into this season from every single player and member of staff. 

“It’s the biggest achievement in the history of a great club and we all feel privileged to be part of it. It’s even more special to have done it with these lads. 

“Every minute of hard work we’ve put in on the training pitch has been worth it for this moment."
