As Abraham Lincoln said, don't believe everything you read on the internet.
And if something sounds too good or too sensational to be true, then more than likely it isn't. However, that didn't stop some people falling for this fabricated extract from Jamie Vardy's upcoming autobiography.
Twitter user
George Weah's Cousin, who recently duped
Sky Sports News with some erroneous facts about Lincoln Red Imps, the Gilbraltan side who defeated Celtic in a Champions League qualifier last month, made up a story about Jamie Vardy being responsible for killing a dog.
The quote attributed to Vardy, and made into a meme, is of course completely false.

But that didn't stop stop some people falling for the tall tale, and it coming to the attention of Rebekah Vardy, the Leicester striker's wife.

Vardy responded by completely dismissing the story, and asked how people could fall for something which is, to be fair, very obviously fake.

The person who played the prank found the whole thing funny.

JOE has
spoken to the man behind Twitter's fake quote invasion before, and he told us a lot of the fun comes from seeing just how far the gullibility of the internet stretches. Don't expect him to stop anytime soon.
