Jamie Vardy has revealed a bizarre pre-match routine that includes drinking port out of a Lucozade bottle, which helped him fire Leicester to their unlikely Premier League title success last season.

In addition to drinking port on the night before a match, Vardy would also drink three cans of Red Bull and a double espresso before a match, with his only meal a cheese and ham omelette.

"I fill a small plastic water or Lucozade bottle to halfway and just sip the port while watching television," Vardy wrote in his autobiography 'Jamie Vardy: From Nowhere, My Story'.

"I'm not normally superstitious but from the moment I scored against Sunderland, I didn't want to change anything.

During Euro 2016, Vardy admitted that drinking Red Bull was a part of his training regime, as well as avoiding the gym, and his latest revelations have provided another insight into his unique match-day routine.

"While we're waiting and killing a bit of time, I have a double espresso," he said.

“So three Red Bulls, a double espresso and a cheese and ham omelette is what makes me run around like a nutjob on matchday."

বাংলাদেশের অন্তর্বর্তী সরকারের মধুচন্দ্রিমা এখন শেষ: আইসিজি

আইসিজি বলছে, অন্তর্বর্তীকালীন সরকার শুধু অন্যান্য রাজনৈতিক শক্তির বিভেদ ঠেকাতে হিমশিম খাচ্ছে না, দৈনন্দিন ব্যবস্থাপনা নিয়েও জনসমালোচনার মুখে পড়েছে। এছাড়া, প্রতিশ্রুত সংস্কারকাজ শেষ করতে তত চাপে...
