Vardy's unusual shirt

Jamie Vardy attracted particular attention with his jersey bearing the words "Becky 10," and behind that lies a deeply humane reason.

The special inscription on Vardy's shirt.

At 38 years old, the Leicester legend was named in the starting lineup by manager Davide Nicola for the match against AS Roma at the Giovanni Zini stadium on November 23rd. But like the rest of the team, Vardy didn't have his name on the back of his shirt. Instead, his familiar number 10 was combined with the word "Becky," the name of his wife Rebekah, 43, as a heartfelt tribute.

Cremonese is participating in the social campaign "A Red to Violence," an activity held on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This initiative has spread widely in Serie A, with a number of teams such as Lecce, Lazio, Parma, and Udinese also joining in. All players have changed their jersey names to the name of a woman who holds special meaning to them: mother, wife, daughter, or other family member.

Vardy and Rebekah have been together since 2014, married in 2016, and built a large family with six children – three of their own, two of Becky's children from a previous relationship, and one of Vardy's children from a previous relationship. The English striker's choice to have his wife's name on his shirt not only shows support for the campaign but also sends a strong message about appreciating the women in a player's life.

In this match, Vardy played poorly despite playing the full 90 minutes, resulting in Cremonese losing 1-3 to Roma. The home team remains in 11th place after 12 rounds. Meanwhile, Roma surprisingly took the top spot in Serie A, leading the chasing pack by 2 points.
