Man leaves wife and children for Jamie Vardy's goal

A 31-YEAR-OLD has left his wife and two children to spend his life with Jamie Vardy’s goal against Liverpool. 

Nathan Muir announced his decision early this morning after 14 hours spent watching the goal on replay which he described as “the best night of my life”. 

He continued: “This is who I really am. The curves of Vardy’s goal, its forceful, dipping beauty, made me realise I’d been living a lie for far too long. 

“I never made a big thing of it, but I always used to record the goal of the month on VHS when I was a youngster. So it’s definitely not a mid-life crisis.

“I never meant to hurt anyone. I’m not even a Leicester fan. But just look at it.”

Muir, who has moved into a studio flat with a 50″ curved television, mini-fridge and Sky Sports, told his wife he does not plan to contest custody of their children.

His nine-year-old Dylan said: “Mum blames the goal for everything, but I don’t think that’s fair and it is really beautiful. 

“I might be happier living with it.”
