Jamie Vardy features in Netflix series Untold

"A raw, caged animal, drinking, partying and fighting" is the opening line of a new Netflix film about the life of Jamie Vardy.

Vardy, 39 and now playing in the Italian top flight with Cremonense, uses a harsher expletive to describe himself in the documentary.

Yet, his story is also refreshing as an underdog, rags-to-riches hero, who is attempting to reflect on his life and career to a group of journalists at Netflix's HQ in London.

"I don't have time to reflect, to be honest," Vardy says, speaking after the first screening of his Untold UK film, with wife Rebekah watching on quietly but occasionally reacting to questions or her husband's responses.
