Fans ask ‘how can anyone hate him?’ after spotting what Jamie Vardy did in tunnel before Chelsea clash
FOOTIE fans absolutely loved what Jamie Vardy did just minutes before Leicester's clash with Chelsea.
The veteran striker skippered the Foxes for the visit of the high-flying Blues on Saturday afternoon.
And he necked a can of Red Bull seconds before leading the team out at the King Power Stadium.
Cameras in the tunnel caught the 37-year-old casually sipping the drink as he held one of the child mascots' hands.
Footage of Vardy's pre-match pick-me-up went viral and became the talk of footie fans.
One wrote on X: "That is outrageous."

Vardy's pre-match caffeine fix didn't help him find the back of the net and he ended up being subbed in the 79th minute.
The Foxes suffered a 2-1 defeat to the visitors thanks to goals from Nicholas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez.
Steve Cooper's side pulled a goal back from the penalty spot through Jordan Ayew in second-half stoppage time but it proved to be a consolation.
Leceister will look to pick up only their third win of the season next Saturday when they travel to west London to take on Brentford.
