Red Bull, playing the 'freak' Vardy way and what has given Leicester City legend wings again
Jamie Vardy has been described as a footballing “freak” and his resurgence in form at the venerable age of 37 explained.
The Leicester City skipper has been reborn as a Premier League striker under Steve Cooper after struggling the last time the Foxes were in the top-flight. The veteran has already bagged four goals and an assist in 10 games this season, while he only managed to hit the target three times in total when City were relegated in 2022-23.
Now one of the people who knows Vardy best has delivered his verdict on the Foxes legend, discussed his lifestyle - and suggested why Vardy is looking back to his best.

Robert Huth was part of the City team - with Vardy - who stunned football to win the Premier League title back in 2015/16. He was asked during an appearance on TalkSport if he was surprised that Vardy was not only still going, but looking like a force again.
Huth told host Andy Goldstein: “Especially with the lifestyle he used to have - 15 Red Bulls a day I don’t think is very healthy. I don’t know about 15, to be fair, but definitely more than the average person. But surprised? Not really. He’s one of those freak athletes who stays lean, stays fast.”
Asked why he thought Vardy was playing so well again, Huth added: “The last time he played in the Premier League he did stutter a little in terms of goals, but this time around I think he’s been good. They’ve played a bit more towards his strengths and he’ll be pivotal to Leicester staying up.”
And on the subject of staying up, Huth warned Leicester fans to be patient and accept what Cooper and Co are trying to achieve this season.
The Foxes are currently 15th on 10 points from 11 games, and Huth explained: “You’ve got to stay in the league by hook or by crook. Whether it’s by a point or a goal, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is just staying in the league.
“It’s not easy for the fans to accept, especially after last season and winning so many games and being so positive with their football. It’s a bit more defensive, but that’s just the reality.
“It looked like there was going to be a points deduction at the start of the season so not getting one was a good start in itself. Where they are at the moment I think they would take at the end of the season. They just need to be better than three teams at the moment.”
