FOOTIE ace Jamie Vardy tried to buy a penguin for his family because he thinks the waddling birds look “cute”.
The animal-loving striker, 35, researched how to get hold of one of the protected aquatic creatures.

The dad of five, on £140,000 a week at Leicester City, already has four dogs and 11 chickens.
He said: “I know it sounds really strange but I looked up trying to buy a penguin to have in the garden.
“It’s the cuteness. I’ve not purchased one.
“However, while searching, I found out how to buy a giraffe and all sorts of exotic animals, legally.”
Jamie made the revelation as he and wife Becky, 40, launched a children’s book they co-wrote called Cedric the Little Sloth with a Big Dream.
