Vincent Peter "Vinnie" Jones (born 5 January 1965) is an English actor and retired footballer.
Born in Hertfordshire, England, Jones represented and captained the Welsh national football team, having qualified via a Welsh grandparent. As a member of the "Crazy Gang", Jones won the 1988 FA Cup Final with Wimbledon, a club for which he played well over 200 games during two spells between 1986 and 1998. He also previously played for Chelsea and Leeds United. Jones appeared in Celebrity Big Brother 2010, where he finished in third place behind Dane Bowers and Alex Reid.
He has capitalised on his tough man image as a footballer and is known as an actor for his aggressive style and intimidating demeanour, often being typecast into roles as coaches, hooligans and violent criminals.
Jones was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, to Peter Jones (a gamekeeper) and Glenda Harris Jones.
Jones started his football career in 1984 at Alliance Premier League side Wealdstone, during which time he combined playing football with being a hod carrier. He played one season with second-level Swedish club IFK Holmsund in 1986 and helped them win the league.
Take what you want, the you'll get what you need
Isn't that all that we're teaching
Slowly but surely we're planting the seed
Hey listen, there's no use in preaching
All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say
Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
It's inside of you
All of the sinners, they're playing their game
Only the good people listen
Over and over it's always the same
Committing the crime, and yet no one's to blame
All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say
Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
It's inside of you
Is there a reason we're losing the fight
Stuck in this hell that we're living
Over and over it's always the same
Passing the sentence, yet no one's to blame
All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say
Vengeance
You haven't a clue
Vengeance
