A plucky Leicester City fan is seeking to pay homage to Jamie Vardy and his superb 2015/16 campaign by naming his newborn daughter after the Foxes hero.

However, for Ashley Marriott, there is still one obstacle to overcome – namely, his altogether more sensible girlfriend Daisy.

Thankfully, our friend Ashley had the presence of mind to launch a petition in order to convince his reluctant partner that naming their unborn baby girl ‘Vardy’ was and is a terrific idea.

Indeed, the petition went live on OnChange.org a week ago…

Since then, the petition has only attracted 120 signatures, but Ashley and Daisy aren’t expecting their little bundle of joy to arrive until mid-June – thus giving him four months to collect the 5,000 signatures he needs to pull off his masterplan.

We can only imagine that Daisy is positively thrilled at the prospect.

    So, the bloke’s name is Ashley, which is fine by me, Rebekah’s the name of the lass, if my dyslexia didn’t interfere there. I say let them name the wee baby Vardy. What could possibly backfire here, amirite?
