The critically acclaimed sports documentary series UNTOLD expands its borders with a trip to the UK this spring to dive deep into the world of soccer.
UNTOLD UK will go beyond the headlines and pull back the curtain on the most dramatic moments and personalities of the beautiful game.

Premiering weekly — starting May 12 — these candid stories are packed with grit, resilience, heartbreak, and plenty of locker-room banter.

Before Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) was an accomplished actor, he was one of the most feared players in English soccer. An FA Cup–winning midfielder for Wimbledon FC and member of the controversial “Crazy Gang,” Jones was nearly banned from the sport for his physicality. UK UNTOLD: Vinnie Jones tracks his unique journey from one soccer’s most violent players to Hollywood’s go-to tough guy.
