Netflix documentary to tell the incredible story of former Halifax striker Vardy's rise to stardom
A documentary on the incredible story of Jamie Vardy will be shown on Netflix next week.
Untold UK: Jamie Vardy will tell the inside story of Vardy’s rise from non-league football – including at Halifax Town - to winning the Premier League with Leicester City and playing for England.
The documentary will feature unseen archive, raw dressing-room tales and interviews with Vardy, his wife Rebekah, team-mates, managers and oldest friends.
In an interview with the producers of the documentary accompanying its release, Vardy admits he went off the rails after he was released by boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday, and says he was constantly getting into trouble.
"Luckily, it didn't matter - it didn't hurt me, you know what I mean? But it could’ve gone completely the opposite way,” he says.
"If football didn't work, then I would’ve been left with absolutely nothing, apart from a ‘C’ in Maths.”
The documentary premieres on May 12.
