Netflix has released the official trailer and first look images for Untold UK, with three stories from the football world that highlight personal achievements, historic victories and unique personalities from the spot. You can watch the trailer below:
The three stories focus on former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy about his historic rise from non-league football to winning the Premier League; Liverpool’s historic comeback victory in the 2004/5 season against Milan, when they were 3-0 down at half time; and notorious football hardman Vinnie Jones talks about his career with Wimbledon, Chelsea, Leeds and more.
JAMIE VARDY:
Recordbreaker. Gamechanger. Mischief‑maker. Jamie Vardy’s rise from non-league unknown to Premier League legend is a story that doesn’t just go against the odds – it sticks its boots straight through them (and the corner flag too). 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.
LIVERPOOL’S HISTORIC WIN IN ISTANBUL:
After a turbulent 2004/05 season, Liverpool found themselves 3-0 down against AC Milan at the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final. What happened next became the greatest comeback in all of football history.
The show relives every heart-stopping moment on that unforgettable night whilst chronicling the team’s volatile journey to the final. Under the new, unconventional management of Rafa Benítez, their top striker, Michael Owen, departing for Madrid, and rival teams circling their captain, Steven Gerrard, Liverpool were experiencing a demoralising season and needed a miracle. Fuelled by sheer grit and determination, this team of underdogs managed to achieve the unthinkable.
VINNIE JONES:
From football’s most feared player to Hollywood’s go-to tough guy, Vinnie Jones’ life has been anything but ordinary. When a controversial 1992 video exposed the brutal tactics of his “Crazy Gang” days, it ignited a media firestorm that threatened to end his career just as the new Premier League era was dawning.
Untold delivers the raw, unfiltered story behind the headlines and dives two-footed into the “Crazy Gang” legacy and the fallout from a controversy that nearly banished Vinnie from the game for good. In his own words, Vinnie charts his journey from the building sites of Wealdstone to FA Cup glory at Wembley and the hills of West Hollywood, revealing the true story of his rise, fall and remarkable comeback against the odds.
