However, the striker did not have his own name displayed on the back of his shirt with the home team.

Instead, the former international featured his signature No. 10 alongside a different name.

He had ‘Becky’ inscribed on his kit for a heartfelt reason.

Cremonese is involved in a remarkable initiative called “A Red to Violence,” aimed at raising awareness against domestic abuse.

Davide Nicola’s squad commemorated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and were joined by other teams.

These teams include Lecce, Parma, and Udinese.

As part of this initiative, players wear the names of significant women in their lives.

This could include their mother, partner, daughter, or another important person from their family or close circle.

Vardy chose to have his wife’s name on the back of his shirt.

The center-forward and Rebekah, 43, have been together since 2014 and married two years later.

They have a blended family – three children are from their marriage, two are from Becky’s previous relationships, and one is from Vardy’s past romance.
