Jamie and Rebekah Vardy's potential new life in Italy: God-like status with fanatical supporters, romantic boat trips and partying... just don't expect a diet of pizza under Napoli's manager!
Jamie Vardy could write the final chapter of his hard-as-nails career in one of Europe's most romantic destinations - Naples. The forward has emerged as a shock candidate for the Italian champions Napoli, meaning he could enjoy his last hurrah in a paradise of pizza, parties, and footballing passion. It is, in many ways, a perfect fit for Vardy - a city which wears its heart on its sleeve, a club which crowns its favourite sons as kings, and a culture which has welcomed other British players to much fanfare in recent years. Napoli are on the hunt for another striker after Romelu Lukaku 's injury on the eve of the season and, while they may face competition from the likes of Celtic, where Vardy's old boss Brendan Rodgers pulls the strings, they have a lot to offer the 38-year-old. From breathtaking islands to world-leading restaurants, from boat trips to poker parties and rooftop bars, the region has an explosion of activities to indulge those with deep wallets - and its footballers take full advantage. Just ask Scott McTominay what life is like out there. The former Manchester United star could scarcely have asked for a better first year after leaving England with his girlfriend Cam Reading. So beloved is McTominay, now a Serie A title-winner, that he already has a shrine dedicated to him in Via San Nicola a Nilo, a central street. One fan revealed a McTominay-themed birthday cake. Another got a tattoo in tribute to him. Give you all to Napoli and they will give their all to you. 'I love this place, I love the fans, I love my team-mates,' he declared in December. And there is plenty to entertain him and girlfriend Cam away from the football. The duo have been dining on the Amalfi coast, enjoying parties with their team-mates and families, and exploring the wider region. One of the favourite pastimes of Napoli stars is to hire out a boat and drift off towards one of the islands in the Gulf of Naples: Ischia, Capri, Procida, Vivara, or Nisida. Substitute goalkeeper Nikita Contini shared intimate snaps soaking up the sun with his partner Martina Fusco as they took a boat trip out to Ischia one summer. In July, Pasquale Mazzocchi posed on a boat in front of the Aragonese Castle on a diving trip with some of his close friends. And forward Matteo Politano said: 'The city is wonderful: the sea, climate, and landscapes score a hundred points. I find it a small city, being used to Rome, so I can easily get around. 'The most beautiful thing about being here is being able to take a boat trip or maybe go to the coast as soon as you have one or two days off, while when I was at other clubs I couldn't wait to get back home.' If maritime adventures don't tickle your fancy, then why not tuck into some of the region's renowned cuisine? The Sorbillo restaurant chain has three outlets in the city and is owned by Gino Sorbillo, one of the world's most famous pizza-makers whose recipes are such as hit that he was even made a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. It's not just pizza which gets the tastebuds tingling in Naples - the city is also known for its seafood, pasta, and rice. That said, manager Antonio Conte is a strict monitor of his players' diets, so Vardy shouldn't expect to be gorging on treats too often. The former Chelsea boss is a proponent of the 'Bresaola diet', meaning fried food, mozzarella and alcohol are firmly off the menu (even if he has been spotted out and about having a tipple in Naples), while a Mediterranean menu of vegetables and protein-rich white meats such as turkey and chicken are on the table. What becomes clear, when you dig into the lives of Napoli's stars, is how united they appear to be away from the field. McTominay fortunately has Scottish pal Billy Gilmour to help him settle in, and the duo have had Italian lessons from none other than Conte himself, but the wider culture of the team appears friendly. After their Scudetto success last season, the squad and their partners went for a night out at the Riserva Rooftop bar in the exclusive neighbourhood of Posillipo, which many of the affluent members of Naples society call home. Riserva is reasonably priced in some aspects but lavish in others - a bottle of still water from the Dolomites, for example, can set you back 25 euros. Napoli's heroes took their trophy and their medals to the chic spot and manager Conte was even seen letting his hair down there. But what stands out the most about Naples is its raw passion for the game. Diego Maradona is almost a religion in himself - 515 babies were named after him in the seven years he spent at the club, and his influence still reverberates around the city's streets in graffiti, murals, and statues. The sky-blue colours of Napoli stretch as far as the eye can see and the feet can wander, with flags hanging down over narrow streets and street vendors selling knock-off merchandise. It's not just Maradona who is lionised - from recent years, the likes of Marek Hamsik and Lorenzo Insigne also have enduring legacies in the city's streets. As Victor Osimhen put it: 'Naples should be a country, I see the reason why lot of players spend many years there, because the love they show to their players is really massive and they love football.' Or take Dries Mertens, who spent nine seasons with them: 'In Naples, you breathe football. Not only the young people, it's also a thing for the grandmothers and kids. It's crazy! 'It's something special: waking up, having coffee in the morning, and talking about football. I started to live like them, I love the food, the sea, all the islands here.' There is a lot to weigh up for Vardy, who hopes to keep playing beyond the age of 40. And he isn't the only one in this discussion - his wife Rebekah and their kids matter, too, and they have a lot to weigh up. Moving to Italy could be a chance to escape the glare that abounds in the Premier League or even remaining playing in Britain more general - particularly after Rebekah lost her High Court libel battle with Coleen Rooney. And if Vardy called up McTominay, one of his old Premier League rivals, he would only hear a glowing report. As the midfielder has said: 'The pride of playing here is really special and when I found out that Napoli was interested in me I felt the fire inside me. 'I wanted to come here and push as much as possible because the fans are crazy, I would say they are some of the best fans I have ever seen. Incredible. 'I can't talk enough about the fans, the people, the city and the welcome that my teammates and coaches gave me.' He also told BBC Scotland: 'It was a big decision, but in some ways it was quite straightforward. 'I saw the passionate fans, I saw the coach, I saw the players and I saw an opportunity. 'I took it. I didn't look back. It didn't take me long to make the decision because I knew that was what I wanted and I'll never have any regrets in my life. 'I love this place. I love the fans, I love my team-mates.'

Epic trailer drops for ‘Succession-style' Netflix doc following Eddie & Barry Hearn featuring Littler, AJ and O'Sullivan
A heart-humping trailer for the eagerly anticipated Matchroom docuseries has been released. And it features some of the biggest names in the British promotional powerhouses' stable of sports stars! 8 8 8 8 8 Matchroom, which was founded by Barry Hearn in 1982, struck a lucrative deal with streaming titans Netflix last year for a fly-on-the-wall docuseries Cameras have been following promotional royalty Barry and his successor, son Eddie, around for the last year. Filming for the much-anticipated series recently wrapped up, with producers working their magic with the hundreds of hours of footage. The series, which is called 'Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen', will hit mobile phone and TV screens on September 17. And Netflix have released a tantalising trailer promoting the show. The trailer features appearances from snooker icon Ronnie O'Sullivan and darts superstar Luke Littler. British and Irish boxing legends Anthony Joshua and Katie Taylor also make appearances in the trailer, which gives a preview of the insight the series will give on the working relationship between Barry and Eddie. Boxing, darts and snooker fans were abuzz after seeing the promo clip, with one commenting on X: "Will be a really good watch this. 8 8 "Will see the good and the bad from sports!" Another said: "This looks class." And another said: "Really looking forward to this." One remarked: Can't wait for this." Even Barry couldn't contain his excitement, writing on X: "I think this captures the amazing world we live and work in. Enjoy." Documentaries are often guilty of omitting certain aspects of subjects' lives at their request. But Barry insists the Netflix show will lay bare everything about the daily lives of the Hearns and their incredibly busy schedules. He told SunSport last year: 'Everything is a completely open book. It's going to be fun. 'But I'm frightened to have a bath, mate! Because I get up and go, 'f***ing, who put this microphone on me?' Everything is a completely open book." Barry Hearn on the Matchroom docu-series 8 'The title is 'Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen'. It's going to go out to 500 million homes. They are spending millions and millions. 'The team that are doing it are the ones who did Drive to Survive, so they have a hard act to follow. But they are very excited about it. 'You try to distance yourself from it. It's a good story. We had Succession, which was almost a take-off of the Murdoch empire. 'Well, we are not at that level but it is a similar theme of an old geezer that starts off something, brings up kids in a different world to what he came from. 'It's not a power struggle but there are definitely different influences throughout. 'But the company has grown bigger and bigger, it's a global one rather than a British one. "There are a lot of good stories.'
