Vinnie Jones, a good actor and former footballer, and one of his most famous photographs:

Some know Vinnie Jones by roles in the films "Lock, Stock, Two Barrels", "Bonecrusher", "Gone in 60 Seconds" and others. But before getting to the movies, Jones was a professional footballer. About how Vinnie “took care of” the rising star of “Newcastle” Paul Gascoigne, he knows, is ready to assume, any person more or less interested in English football. The fame of this episode of the match “Newcastle” with “Wimbledon” in February 88th received thanks to press photographers, the pictures of which are remembered much better than the outcome of the meeting. Gascoigne himself, who was also never a good girl, in his autobiography devoted several pages to a description of what happened.

We had to play away with Wimbledon, which at that time was an extremely difficult opponent. Mainly thanks to three players - John Fashan, Dennis Wise and Vinnie Jones. The press described upcoming match like a duel between Jones - a tough guy who does not take prisoners - and me, a young talent with a lot of cunning tricks in stock.

During the pre-match warm-up, the camera lenses were turned at me, and I, in turn, could not bring myself not to look at Vinnie, warming up in the opposite half of the field. Even from a distance, he seemed huge to me! I am always nervous before the game, but that time I felt squeezed out even before the starting whistle. Shortly after the start of the match, he came up and croaked in my ear:

My name is Vinnie Jones and I'll fucking be around for the whole game. Do you understand me, fat man? Today there is only you and me!

I knew that experienced players often resort to these methods, especially if they have a young player like me as opponents. But then the threat from Jones affected me in the most serious way. When I first touched the ball, it attacked me so that I flew into the air, must have been five feet. Until the very final whistle, he did not leave me alone for a second, except for one moment when he had to throw the ball out of touch.
- I need to be absent for a couple of seconds, but I, damn it, come back, - Winnie growled, going to the curb.

Our team got the right to the "standard", and Vinnie and I stood in the penalty area, waiting for the serve. He was in front of me, suddenly pulled back his hand and, as if in a vise, squeezed my balls. In pain and surprise, I roared. I think at that moment no one understood what actually happened, especially since the ball flew to another place. But thanks to the photographers, the very next day, the whole of England knew about it.

Paul Gascoigne - 10 wildest stories

Paul Gascoigne is the main bully and alcoholic in the history of football. Throughout his career, he drank and went crazy. The other day, the former England midfielder told another fiery story. Well this is great excuse remember his other wild stories.

Fresh. About Les Ferdinand's genitals

“I was in the locker room,” Gascoigne says. And then Ferdinand came out, completely naked. You should have seen his trunk! I felt scanty. I went up to the Forest and said: "Man, please let me touch him." The forest did not mind. "

I entered the field and played very cool, even scored.

The next game was at Wembley. I sat down with the Forest again.

Well, - I say, - get it.

“Such is the tradition,” continues Gascoigne. We played together for the national team for five good years. "

Ferdinand's reaction was not long in coming:

“It's all nonsense,” laughs Les. Gascoigne's roof has gone completely. "

Burp for nine thousand pounds

In 1993, Lazio fined the striker £ 9,000. The reason for this was a short interview with Gascoigne. Which, as they say, was discussed even in the Italian parliament.

The essence of the incident is simple. Gazza was not included in the application for the match against Juventus. And he gave the reporters this comment.

Blatter and Santa Claus

Sepp Blatter came to Rome. The FIFA General Secretary was going to visit the Lazio base. On this occasion, the team's coach, Dino Zoff, asked the players to dress up.

Gazza came in dressed as Santa Claus, sat down next to Blatter and said:

“Hi, I'm Santa. Ho, ho, ho! "

The reward for the masquerade was a portion of two workouts for the whole week. Seven days a week.

Bus driver

History of the Middlesbrough times.

Gascoigne was strolling through the training base when he saw the driver of the club bus, who went to have a cup of tea. Gazza proceeded to the dining room. And, five minutes later, he returned with the keys in his hands.

The footballer got behind the wheel and went for a drive. Nearby, at a bus stop, there were two girls.

Hey! Sit down, where are you going? - the newly made chauffeur slowed down.

The ladies went up to the salon. Moments later, the bus hit the wall.

Vinnie Jones and Easter

Paul Gascoigne in Newcastle met with the Vinnie Jones gang from Wimbledon.

Gazza was bothering Jones for the entire match. At one point, Vinnie could not resist. Grabbed the opponent for what came to hand. Namely - for the genitals. Football history replenished with the famous frame.

It's okay, ”Jones recalls. - After all, it was on Easter.

After the game, as a sign of reconciliation, Gazza sent Jones a red rose. Winnie answered with a package, which was a toilet brush. They say the players are still friends.

Sausage rap

After the 1990 World Cup, Gazza was on fire. And he launched a musical career. The first single was a remake of one of the old British songs.

There is nothing surprising in the choice of Gascoigne. The first lines of the hit sing about "sweet sausages sliding on the tongue."

Dumb as a mop

This is how Gascoigne was described by Sir Bobby Robson, England coach in the 1980s. In response, Gazza showed up for training with mop brushes inserted into his gaiters.

A little more Italy

At a press conference on the occasion of the transfer to Lazio, Gascoigne demanded silence from the journalists. And then he spoiled the air sweetly.

Even for very good actors, roles are considered the best where they do not need to play anything, and it is enough to be themselves. The director's talent is partly hidden precisely here - in the selection of characters for the characters of those who most correspond to them in life.

It was on this principle that Vinnie Jones, a former English football player, who unexpectedly became one of the textbook characters of criminal black comedies filmed in Britain 15-20 years ago, flashed in the cinema.

Childhood

Vincent Peter Jones was born in 1965 in Watford, Hertfordshire, East Anglia. Like any ordinary British boy, he loved to play football. Already at the age of 9, Jones played for the school's national team - this age record in his country has not yet been broken.

Soon, Vinnie began playing for the county national team, and then headed it. At the same time, he played for the children's team of the local Watford club, which is now located in English Premier League... For a talented teenager, the logical step would be to move into an adult team. In the case of Vinnie, the management of the club decided otherwise. Due to his small stature and puny physique, he was considered hopeless and expelled from the team.

How long have you been in football

For a while, Jones did quit football, but in 1984 he returned as part of the Veldstone amateur club. Together with him, he won the championship and the FA Cup (in amateur league), after which he left to play in Sweden. In the Scandinavian kingdom, he, together with the Holmsund team, became the winner of the third division local championship in 1986.

It's pointless to compare English and Swedish football. Against the background of the Englishmen's favorite game, their colleagues from cold Sweden cannot be seen even through a microscope. Therefore, in the same 1986, Jones returned to his homeland and moved to Wimbledon. In 1988, Vinnie, together with this team, won the now professional FA Cup. For Wimbledon, which has existed since 1889, this victory has remained the highest achievement so far.

Everyone has it English club there is an unofficial nickname, many of them have several. It is noteworthy that the players of "Wimbledon" in addition to the "Dons" are also called the "Gang of Psycho". For the stubborn, extremely moody and certainly talented Jones better place then it was not found.

After the victory of "Wimbledon" players from its roster began to lure away clubs of higher rank. Over the years, Jones has consistently played for Leeds United, Sheffield United and Chelsea, after which he returned to the Donets, becoming their captain. For Wimbledon, he played over 250 matches. In 1998, Vinnie was a playing coach for another British club, Queens Park Rangers, and at the age of 33, he ended a big football career.

Jones played 384 in total official matches, on account of his 33 goals scored... He usually did not need to make his way to the goal of the opposing team - he was always a defender or midfielder.

Dirty play

On the football field, Vinnie Jones has an image of a "tough guy". For this he was often criticized and called one of those who discredit football. Jones was not particularly fond of journalists either. They constantly accused him of awkwardness and inappropriate rudeness.

When it came to winning the FA Cup for Wimbledon, one newspaper wrote that getting this trophy for a team that has players like Vinnie Jones would be “a mockery of football,” because the country has a huge number of great players, never receiving such a title.

Vinnie's nickname was ‘Ax’, that is, “Ax” or “Ax”. During his football career, he was removed from the field 12 times. Once he received a yellow card within three seconds after entering the lawn for a tackle to the attacking opponent.

The most striking illustration of rudeness, perhaps, will be the case when Jones furiously clenched, shall we say, the crotch of another star in his fist English football, Paul Gascoigne. A photograph of this episode has probably been seen by many interested in Vinnie's football background.

In another match, Jones inflicted very severe injury Gary Stevens, then the England national team player, on which Stevens' career ended. However, Vinnie was so tough only with Wimbledon. In Leeds, he received only 3 yellow cards during the season, and during the game for Sheffield and Chelsea, he was never removed from the field.

Like any footballer, Jones dreamed of playing for the England national team, but due to his scandalous reputation, he had no chance of getting there. However, he was able to play for the Wales national team. Vinnie was born in an English city, but he managed to prove the presence of Welsh roots on the maternal side. For Wales, Jones played 9 matches and even became the captain of the national team. He was also invited to the Irish national team. However, the search for Irish roots was less successful.

Sudden Guy Ritchie

In 1998 Guy Ritchie released his Lock, Stock, Two Barrels. The low-budget picture was immediately criticized for allegedly shameless copying of Tarantino. But when the film was revealed to the general public, it became clear that Richie had shot one of the iconic British films of the 1990s.

Vinnie Jones had no acting experience before. Richie invited him to his directorial debut after seeing him on one of the TV shows, where he participated as a football player. On the first day of filming, Jones arrived at the site directly from the police station - the day before he was arrested for a fight with a neighbor.

"Cards" shot so well that Guy Ritchie immediately conceived the next picture on a similar theme - "Big jackpot". Naturally, there was a place in it for Vinnie. It was he who was supposed to play the gypsy Mickey. However, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" big fan Brad Pitt asked Richie for a role in the new film.

Richie simply could not refuse a star of this magnitude. When it turned out that Pitt would not be able to fit into the freak show of London gangsters due to their inability to reliably imitate the local accent, it was decided to give him the role of an inarticulate gypsy. Yes, yes, Mickey's speech in "Big Jack" is in many ways precisely in order to disguise his not at all British origin.

As a result, Vinnie Jones had to play the hired thug Tony "Bullet in the Teeth", and he coped with this task just fine. Acting skills former footballer has received several awards and positive reviews from critics. Dustin Hoffman called him "the new Bruce Willis".

Hollywood hills

An incredible debut helped Jones build a fast-paced acting career out of nothing. In the form of a sarcastic thug, he performed in several large projects at once - "Gone in 60 Seconds" (2000), "Password" Swordfish "(2001)," Eurotrip "(2004).

Vinnie played footballer only once in the film "Bonecrusher" (2001), which was produced by Guy Ritchie. However, the film did not receive much success, and even comparing it with “Cards” and “Big jackpot” is somehow awkward. But later, Hollywood shot a kind of remake of the film - "All or Nothing" with Adam Sandler and a whole set of famous rastlers.

In 2006, Vinnie Jones played in his highest-budget film - the third part of "X-Men". Naturally, he got the role of a giant mutant with enormous strength there. After the premiere, Vinnie announced that he had signed a contract for the next two parts of X-Men. However, he never appeared in them.

Hostage of the image

The viewer, alas, soon became tired of the permanent role of Vinnie Jones. After 2006, with all the desire, it is not possible to find a single large or successful project in which the actor would play. He continues to actively act in films. For example, in 2012, several films were released with his participation: "Pretend to be my husband", "Hijacked", "Freelancers", "Magic guys". Can you remember any of this?

Jones appears to be taking on whatever job he offers today. He travels to Alma-Ata to star in the thriller Liquidator (2010) by the Kazakh director Akhan Sataev. In 2014, Vinnie plays in the disastrous Russian science fiction "Calculator". He performs in musical theater, acts in second-rate TV series and does not refuse filming in documentary and entertainment shows.

In general, the current Vinnie Jones on the screen can only be seen by chance. Hardly anyone is deliberately following his career. However, this does not deprive Jones of his past acting merit. "Big Chris" and Tony "Bullet in the Teeth" will always be with us as one of the most memorable archetypes of the London gangster base. And any episode with his participation from the first two films by Guy Ritchie will invariably cheer you up.

Paul Gascoigne is a UK footballer known for his talent and unbridled disposition. In the football environment, he received the nickname Gazza. He played as a midfielder, was a key player in England for about 10 years (1988-1998). But Paul Gascoigne became famous not only for his amazing game. A football player's antics on and off the pitch are known to many football fans.

From the football field to the clinic

The story of Gazza should not begin from the day of his birth, but from the moment when he turned from a hero of the nation into a prisoner of the white walls of one of the clinics in Arizona. How did a nice guy from England end up in a US hospital? The culprit was the lifestyle that the footballer adhered to. Constant parties, sleepless nights, many women, soft drugs. And most importantly - alcohol, a lot of alcohol.

"Paul Gascoigne is an alcoholic" was a frequent headline in English newspapers of the time. “Gazza” drank a lot, what can we hide. Often, binges were replaced by deep depressions, which required even more alcohol. However, the body, exhausted by the partying, was already beginning to rebel. The pills were saved. And he had no time for football.

Despite this, Gascoigne can be called lucky. He is not one of the class of famous personalities that friends turned away from during a serious problem. It was the relatives who came to the aid of the downcast midfielder, who needed support more than ever.

And not only the relatives tried to help this cheerful and sympathetic guy from Foggy Albion. Even the fans did not stand aside, trying to support their idol. Paul Gascoigne does not agree to treatment, convinces others that he can cope on his own. However, in the end, he gives up and travels to distant Arizona. It was the beginning of the 2000s, Gazza's career was rapidly going to decline ...

Namesake of McCartney and Lennon

Many believed that Paul Gascoigne was so crazy because of his difficult childhood. Gazza's family was poor, money appeared very rarely. Due to the difficult financial situation, brother future star football and was completely sent to a boarding school.

The full name of the midfielder is Paul John. He was born during the period of popularity of the "Beatles", and therefore was named in their honor. Paul Gascoigne now boasts a beautiful life. At that time, the Gascoigne family had to get out with all their might. My father worked at a construction site, carrying out the dirtiest assignments. Mother worked at all in three jobs. There was never any money. But the family had four children.

First steps in football

Initially, the boy kicked the ball to distract himself from the gray poor life. There was little entertainment in England at the time, and many were starting to drink. However, Paul, as a child, set out to play football on professional level... The dream began to come true at the age of 17 when he joined Newcastle, which was not the last club in Great Britain at the time. He soon found himself in the youth squad of the national team.

He got his nickname while playing for the reserve squad. However, there is a legend that it appeared after one of the commentators uttered the phrase: "This player turned the field into a Strip."

Outstanding footballer with one "but"

Paul Gascoigne is a talented footballer and it's hard to argue with that. He is very good, despite the fact that he cannot boast of a mountain of cups and titles. Many of today's football fans will laugh at the trophy count of Ronaldo or Rooney. Paul Gascoigne could become a superstar and conquer the best stadiums peace, but frequent injuries and drunkenness did not allow him to climb to the top.

Already in childhood, he began to undergo injuries, breaking his arms twice and breaking his head. Once, while exploring a construction site, he stepped on a rusty nail, after which he miraculously did not lose his foot. He attracted injuries like a magnet. As a professional football player, he missed about 4.5 years in total, visited the surgeon's table more than 20 times.

This whole unpleasant picture was complemented by stress, violation of the regime, alcohol, problems with overweight... It's even surprising: how did this guy get to the European and World Championships? And not just to get there, but to play at a high level.

Addiction to alcohol

It is not known for certain when Gazza began to kiss the glass. And it was difficult to find a non-drinking football player in England during the 60-80s. Many legends of the English league could easily get drunk in the evening and take to the field in the morning in an important match.

Of this number of players was Gazza. The midfielder did not miss a single opportunity to “flood his eyes”. He drank before, after, before and after matches. There are cases when Paul "rolled" during the breaks of fights. In 1996 he played for the Scottish Rangers. The first half of the game for the Cup of the country has passed. The game is not going very well for the Rangers, which is part of Gazza's fault. The midfielder, without thinking twice, heads to the bar, where he drinks, and then enters the field. Surprisingly, he scored twice in the second half. He did this more than once.

European Championship in England

In 1996, the ancestor of football was entrusted with holding the European Championship. The English team has collected best footballers of that time, among them was Paul Gascoigne. The midfielder was sure that this was his chance to shine to the whole world, and even quit drinking. However, it breaks down just before the start, when it goes to the training camp in Hong Kong. Gazza's birthday, why not throw a feast on board the plane? It doesn't end very well: broken TVs, harassment of flight attendants ...

Despite this, England became one of the favorites for the 1996 European Championship, with Paul scoring his most famous goal. However, in the semifinals, the British could not beat the Germans in the penalty shootout. Bottom line - Gazza gets drunk and cries in his room.

The last years of Gascoigne the football player

The 1998 World Cup becomes main goal Paul. He understands that his career is coming to an end, and he is already in his fourth decade. Gascoigne is doing well qualifying, but just before leaving he finds out that he was not included in the list of the main squad. This news shocks Gazza and becomes the beginning of the end. He did not follow the games of the national team, only occasionally finding out the news in the bar, where he spent most of the time.

For several years he grabbed every opportunity to stay in football. He played in China and the USA, but he didn't have enough for a long time. In 2005, he tries himself as a coach, but here, too, he will be disappointed. In the end, Paul just waved his hand and gradually began to drown in his worries and alcohol.

Then there were the clinics that pulled out former star from the other world. He did not appear in the football environment, but the fans did not forget about him. He often attended various shows, where he became, rather, a comedian than a football player. And he made people laugh. Despite leaving football, he remained the same simple guy.

Paul's antics

Of course, Gazza was known as an alcoholic of world football, but do not forget about his funny antics, which made fans laughing on the floor:

• and Paul Gascoigne once had an argument on the field. Winnie grabbed Paul for his manhood, for which he received a rose in the locker room, in response he sent a toilet brush.
• There was a case when Gazza showed up in a bar in the form of the national team.
• He pulled out a hammer from a worker and began to hammer in the asphalt on one of the streets of Great Britain, laughing wildly at the same time.
• He made fun of Brotherton by sending a transvestite to his number.
• In one of the matches, he picked up a yellow card that the referee dropped and showed it to him. For this he received the same card in return.
• Once he sniffed under the armpit of the judge when he raised his hand.
• He treated his comrades to a pie filled with the excrement of a football player.

Vinnie Jones is a charismatic professional actor from Great Britain, formerly a football player who played for Chelsea, Wimbledon and Leeds United. This man is known around the world for his unique style of playing football, based on toughness and aggression, and for memorable roles in the popular X-Men films.

Childhood and football

Vinnie Jones's path to fame and recognition was long and difficult. In childhood, at an early age, he became interested in football, began to play it in the nursery sports school... The best specialists in England became his trainers, so after a while Jones had already worked out excellent technique, passing accuracy and "reading" of the game. However, the growth of the guy was not suitable, so the road to big football was closed to him - the coaches did not see the prospects for such a “small” player.

To the world professional football Vinnie got through amateur football - he and a team of like-minded people literally burst into the sports proscenium and attracted the maximum attention of the coaches of professional clubs with a series of devastating victories at the amateur level and in the lower divisions of the country.

Vinnie Jones tough play

The top clubs in the country drew attention to the technical and sharp player that Vinnie became. He managed to play in a number of professional clubs from the top division of England, he also participated in international football tournaments as part of the national team for Wales. The choice of the Wales team instead of England is easily explained - Vinnie's behavior on the field closed his way to the English national team, but thanks to Welsh roots on the mother's side, the player could declare for neighboring Wales.

For an overly tough game and aggressiveness on the field, the player is nicknamed the Ax. He was sent off a huge number of times from the field, his behavior was considered the worst among his contemporaries, he received red cards after a three-second stay on the field. Vinnie has become a kind of legend, an example of how not to do it.

His trick with the Newcastle player still amazes the public - then Vinnie Paul Gascoigne's rival, during the fight for the ball, felt the steel grip of Jones' hand in the most intimate place.

Age brought the career of a football player to its logical conclusion - 33-year-old Vinnie quits sports and goes into the film industry, without having any acting education.

Films

Motivation to succeed and after sports career for Vinnie, there was an article by a sports journalist in which the author noted that “after football, Vinnie will simply disappear and we will never see him again”. And although Jones did not like Savor and the veil of Hollywood, he didn't want to be anything after football.

Vinnie's creative biography in the cinema began with films where he played a "tough tough guy." The first work in the filmography of Jones was the cult action movie of the late 90s "Lock, Stock and Two Barrels", soon followed by shooting in the blockbuster "Big Jackpot".

The image was fixed for this actor, because his high growth(187 cm) and impressive physical data, together with a courageous face, organically fit into the image of a "bad guy". Over time, Vinnie became even more brutal, increasing his body weight. During the period football career his weight did not exceed 76 kg, Jones subsequently gained another 13 kg.

It turned out that Vinnie has a hidden talent as an actor, and he is able to play comedic and dramatic roles. For example, the ironic image of a scandalous football player who ended up in prison and decided to put together football team, Vinnie Jones recreated in the comedy "Bonecrusher".

His performance in popular films began to receive positive reviews from film critics, and he won several international awards. But even after that there were film critics who published articles and reviews, predicting the imminent decline of Jones' career. And he will act in film after film.

He began to be invited to appear in high-budget films, in which the leading roles were played by top stars, and others. Vinnie's repertoire is varied, but he is best at roles in fantastic blockbusters and sports dramas. He has starred in American and British films and received invitations to European and Asian films. True, here he plays the monotonous role of the "tough American guy".

Between 1998 and 2016, Vinnie starred in over 100 motion pictures and television projects. Among his roles - from the superhero action movie "X-Men: The Last Stand", contract killer Sebastian "M" Moran from the detective series "Elementary". Vinnie Jones did not refuse the opportunity to embody the image of a bloodthirsty butcher who kills people in the horror film "Midnight Express" starring.

In 2013, Vinnie Jones became a member of the original television project. He tried himself in the role of a worker in complex specialties in the project "Really in Russia". So he finally and irrevocably fell in love with the Russian audience. In one interview, the actor shared his impressions of Russia. According to Vinnie Jones, Russians are like the Irish in hospitality. The artist was surprised by the opportunity to travel by train without a break for 24 hours, and the fact that in many regions simple movement between settlements is accompanied by extreme sports. Not without the symbol of Russia - the bear, which Jones had repeatedly met in the taiga.

Vinnie Jones about Russia

Vinnie also managed to star in a couple of television projects, work in a newspaper (he led a column on sports) and comment on a number of football matches high level... Vinnie Jones is no stranger to music either - he recorded several blues albums with his own songs, showing boundless musical and creative abilities.

Personal life

Hot guy Vinnie Jones has always been popular with the fairer sex. During his career at Wimbledon, he met Milena Elliston, with whom he began a short relationship. The footballer did not plan a wedding, but in 1991 Milena gave him his first child - the son of Aaron. The boy stayed with his mother, but he also maintains a close relationship with his father.

In the mid-90s, Vinnie decided to settle down and married Tatiana Lamont, his longtime acquaintance, ex-wife of football player Steve Terry. In the family of Winnie and Tanya there are no common children, but the parents raised Tatiana's daughter from her first marriage - Kylie. At one time, the Jones family lived in England near the city of Sheffield. In the early years of marriage, Tanya underwent heart transplant surgery, after which Jones donated his royalties to the clinic from filming in the film that brought him popularity, "Lock, Stock, Two Barrels."

In 2013, the public became aware that Winnie and his wife are struggling with a terrible disease - skin cancer. The actor's wife had been fighting cancer for 7 years by now. The tumors were caused by hormonal pills that Tanya had been taking for a decade. Vinnie discovered his cancer later. A tumor in the form of a mole appeared on the actor's face.

Over the next two years, the family is doing everything to overcome the disease. Both spouses undergo numerous surgeries to remove tumors. Jones had three growths removed. The actor suspects that they were caused by numerous exits to the football field without protection from UV rays. Fortunately, both spouses manage to overcome such a dangerous disease and restore health.

The press learned that the actor was spinning the novel on the side - a Russian-speaking singer became his chosen one. The novel did not last long, the girl did not intend to arrange her personal life by destroying another family. But the fleeting relationship of the two stars was noticed by reporters from Russian and foreign media, photos of the artists hit the pages of popular tabloids.

Vinnie's character often leads to the fact that he makes scandals. At first it was brawls, fights and overly aggressive behavior on the football field, then in his personal life. He was caught for drunk driving, overly provocative public behavior and loud parties.

On more than one occasion, it came down to calling the police and bringing charges. The hot-tempered and formidable Winnie was charged by the court for assaulting a neighbor and causing him serious physical harm. He was also found guilty of violating the rules of conduct for a passenger during a flight - then Vinnie not only got drunk and hit the passenger, but also threatened the pilot and his assistants. The actor paid a fine and completed 80 hours of community service.

Vinnie is not shy about his violent nature, boldly talks about the dirtiest football tricks and claims that he is not touched by criticism. He does not believe that his work has an invaluable contribution to culture or sports. Jones just does what he can.

The controversial Vinnie Jones would not be himself without noble deeds. With his participation, a public service advertisement for the British Heart Foundation was created, in which Winnie, in the form of a "bad guy", explains the principles of heart massage.

Vinnie Jones does not have his own Instagram, but photos with his favorite actor appear in the profiles of his fans.
