Lessons From Verdy's Leicester by Bibline(m): 1:32am On May 03, 2016
Jamie Verdy Smashed a Ruud Van Nistelrooy's goal
scoring streak of 10 consecutive goals in as much
games on 28/11/2015 against Manchester United
making him the only player that ever achieved this
feat in the premier league.
The 28 years old was named the English premier
league player of the month on October 2015 and
sits at the top of the league's goal scorers chat
with 11 goals. He was named Leicester City's
player's player of the 2011/2012 season prior to
His most recent achievement. He was called to
represent the English national team on 21st of
May, 2015.
Everything seem to be going V9's ways. Every ball
he kicks seems to hit it's target. However,Verdy's
2012/13 season was the cross road in his career.
He was purchased for a non-league record of £1m
by Leicester City from Fleetwood-an English
conference side that later gained promotion to the
championship through Vardy's prolific effort where
he scored a total of 51 goals in 103 games .
Verdy's loss of form in his first season at Leicester
and fan's reaction on social media made him
consider quitting football until manager Nigel
Pearson and assistant manager Craig Shakespeare
convinced him tocontinue with the club.
Today, even if James Verdy goes bad, he already
has his name written in gold. Every good football
fan will hope to see more of him for at least
another 3 extra seasons and hope he'll not be
another Benjani Nwaruwaru or Michu.

Today, Leicester city made history bringing to reality an old addidas slogan. "impossible is nothing". And as sweet as V9 story sounds even more inspiring is the feet achieve by the team. The never tired Ngolo Kante, The Gilberto-like Drinkwater and The creative Riyad Mahrez amongst other. The great life lesson is this. Never right off anybody and Anybody shouldn't right off himself

Many times we get too worried about our condition
or people's impression about us. Verdy was lucky to
get good people around him. We might not. we just
have to be by ourselves, not relenting, holding on
to God's promises. Someone said time heals
everything. well, that true to some extent. God
heals everything. keep trusting God till you are
celebrated.
