Netflix’s UNTOLD launches UNTOLD UK

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.
