Whether it\u2019s winding up opposition fans, blowing a referee\u2019s whistle mid-game, or dropping one-liners in press conferences, Jamie Vardy has always been one of football\u2019s great characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And in his very first interview as a Cremonese player, the 38-year-old striker showed exactly why.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vardy, who joined the newly-promoted Serie A side on a one-year deal after leaving Leicester City, was quizzed about his age and motivation during his unveiling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Italy we are a little bit sceptical about players like you approaching 40. We tend to say, where\u2019s their motivation, how fit are they? What do you say in response to the sceptics?\u201d asked one reporter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vardy\u2019s reply was as sharp as his finishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must be one of the doubters,\u201d he snapped back. \u201cYou\u2019re one that I\u2019ll have to prove wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAge is just a number. As long as my legs are still doing exactly what they used to and feel as fresh as they do, I\u2019ll carry on. At the moment there are no signs of slowing down, so I\u2019ll keep going. I\u2019ll be giving my all for this club.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cremonese, who defied expectations last season to earn promotion, have started brightly and sit joint-top of Serie A after two games. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vardy could make his debut this Saturday in a blockbuster clash at San Siro against Inter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Time for Vardy to put his money where his mouth is \u2013 though if his career so far has taught us anything, it\u2019s that doubters should be worried.<\/p>\n
