Now all we require is a granny with some sort of connection with the island...
We're flexible on the connection. We're flexible on the relative. Jamie Vardy would've made a welcome addition to the Irish team if he didn't go off and score a pile of goals (and if he wasn't English) but his accent requires serious, serious work. The Leicester City striker sat down with Soccer AM (yeah, it's still going) and showed off some of his impressions. His Irish accent was terrible. It didn't stop the fawning though. Cue: The most cringeworthy media moment of 2017.
Naturally, it didn't go down too well.
It left everyone confused, if anything.
And most people angry.
Have a listen for yourself. Warning: Before you listen... don't listen.
