FWIW - lost in the entire enormously feel good story of Leicester (and it's the greatest story in world football right now, and probably of the entire Premier League era) is the fact that Jamie Vardy is a racist shitbag. When Leicester weren't front page news, it was easy to kind of bury the stories and video of him abusing people, and now that they are good that's "in the past". But he's a racist shitbag - he really is.
Jonathan Liew wrote this about him earlier in the year for The Telegraph, and it still rings true:
Whether Vardy has changed since august, I can't say, but I would doubt it. He may be more conscious about what he says at this point, and if he goes on to never say another racist thing in his life, great, but I would guess he'll always be racist. It's a belief that is hard to move past however wrong it is. Racism in football and other sports is way too common and truly despicable. I don't control who plays, so all I can do is disagree with what some do and enojoy the game.
