Here at Pies, we feel it’s our duty to continually remind people that, amid the ever-escalating hype and adoration surrounding him, Jamie Vardy was found guilty of a gross cultural misdemeanour not so very long ago.
We are of course referring to the time when, if only fleetingly, he was a white bloke from Sheffield with cornrows.
Specifically, that time was the summer of 2013, when Vardy adopted the following grotty look during Leicester City’s pre-season schedule…
It’s very much what we like to call the “Eight-year-old girl on holiday in Tenerife” look.
Have dreads/braids ever looked good on a white chap? The answer to that question, of course, is a resounding and wholehearted ‘no’…
Before you ask – yes, that is Tim Lovejoy.
