Vardy feels like a hunted Fox

Leicester City's Jamie Vardy said he has been subjected to death threats and his wife has been targeted by angry motorists after allegations he had a hand in last month's firing of Claudio Ranieri as manager of the Foxes.

The 30-year-old striker, on England duty for this week's friendly with Germany and a World Cup qualifier against Lithuania, said he was subjected to verbal abuse while walking along the street and that his wife had been repeatedly cut off while driving.

Ranieri left the Midlands club in February, just nine months after winning the Premier League title, with Leicester 17th in the standings and battling relegation.
