Jamie Vardy has revealed the match day diet that has helped him reach the top of English football.

The England international has detailed his match day diet in an exclusive extract to The Sun from his autobiography.

The 29-year-old consumes an enormous amount of caffeine which, he claims, helps him to sprint over the course of 90 minutes.

"With a traditional 3pm Saturday kick-off, I'll have a can of Red Bull as soon as I wake up, which is gone in 30 seconds," Vardy reveals in his autobiography. "I don’t have breakfast and won’t eat anything until I have a cheese-and-ham omelette with baked beans at 11.30am.

"I wash that down with another Red Bull, which I also neck quickly.

"While we’re waiting and killing a bit of time, I have a double espresso, normally with centre-half Marcin Wasilewski."

Vardy's rise continued as he helped Leicester to a second successive victory in the Champions League, triumphing 1-0 over Porto on Tuesday night.

The former Fleetwood Town striker was given a standing ovation as he departed the pitch in stoppage time.
