Former Leicester City and England striker, Jamie Vardy has revealed that his Nigerian teammates Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho relied on a juju brew prepared by a witch doctor to help their careers.
Vardy who was a great buddy of the two Nigerian players said during a chat online that there was a particular cream, Ndidi and Iheanacho used during their massage therapy to help them over come injuries.
”They used to get injured, just little knocks, then they’d go back to Nigeria for one day literally, come back, and then they’ve got a nice big tub of juju cream,” Vardy said.
”That was the only thing that the masseuses were allowed to massage on the injured areas. They used to tell us that they used to get it from a Nigerian witch doctor.”
However, Ndidi clarified that the cream Vardy was referring to was shear butter after his former teammate’s take generated humorous reactions on social media.
Vardy and Ndidi...Leicester days.
