[edit] Sensitive Roles

Vinnie Jones' first "sensitive" - hard-man role is in Johnny Was I would like to formally dispute this and vote that someone rework this section of the article. His character in Lock Stock was a father who had a scene devoted to his deep emotions towards his son. --The reverend 03:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Distracted?

in one notorious incident he distracted Paul Gascoigne by grabbing his testicles.

Distracted? I'd say Gascoigne looks incredibly focussed.... quercus robur 18:29, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
lol, does anyone know in which match this happened? --Mmartins 23:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
If you check out the kits worn by each player then you could probable narrow down to the season it took place, use http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/index.htm for that. --Chappy84 18:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acting Career Chronology

Someone (who knows what they're doing) needs to add a chronology of the films/TV shows he's been in. 66.229.182.113 04:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height

I don't think that Vinnie Jones is only 6'1, he seemed pretty tall in X-Men: The Last Stand. Son of Kong

He has been credited fro 6`0-6`2. He was originally credited at 6`0, but slowly climbed up to 6`2. usually that is suspicous, however i do think that he is 6`2.

[edit] Honors and achivements

I think this needs to be added to the article. Govvy 17:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

i heard he wrote a book called "the Governor" can anyone confirm this of please tell me who did write "the governor" Adam


"Wrote", "Book"? I think we can safely confirm this is false without any further research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.192.40 (talk) 01:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

There is a book called "The Guv'nor" by Lenny McLean and Peter Gerrard. Vinnie Jones and Lenny McLean were both in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels". I don't know if that has any pertinence. TinyMark 02:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


He HAS actually written an autobiography, though it is simply titled 'Vinnie Jones: The autobiography'. In addition to this Amazon also lists 'Vinnie: My Life' but I suspect that is just a later re-release of the same book. I'll add some details when I get a spare minute.

[edit] Sweden (Norway?)

I watched a TV documentary about Vin Jones in which it covered an early period of his career playing for a Norwegian third-level club prior to Wimbledon. I can't remember the name of the club and have tried to research this. I know they famously played a top-level Norwegian club in their version of the FA Cup and were 2-0 down at half-time but came back to win 3-2. There are some great anecdotes by his then team-mates about V. Jones' 'motivational' speech at half-term (which sounded even better quoted in a thick Norwegian accent - "C'mon you b**tards! We can f**kin' do this!". It would be interesting to include that period of his career here. Luke-Samual Ezekiel Cullen 16:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


You are probably confusing this with the then second-level Swedish club IFK Holmsund (outside Umeå). He played there one season in 1986 and helped them win the series. I'll add information about this...
