Netflix’s UNTOLD launches UNTOLD UK

The streaming giant’s popular sports documentary strand is launching a three-part UK football special.

Recordbreaker. Gamechanger. Mischief maker.

From factory shifts and part-time football to firing 5,000–1 outsiders Leicester City to the Premier League title, Vardy’s journey feels less like a career and more like a footballing miracle.

With unseen archive, raw dressing-room tales and interviews with Jamie Vardy, his wife Rebekah, teammates, managers and oldest mates, UNTOLD UK: JAMIE VARDY shows how a lad from Sheffield smashed records, tore up the rulebook and made a mockery of what’s supposed to be possible in the modern game.
