Vinnie Jones used to be a professional footballer

British tough guy and actor Vinnie Jones, known for his roles in acting roles in Snatch alongside Brad Pitt and Jason Statham, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and X Men 3: The Last Stand (where he played Juggernaut), used to be a professional football player. He played as a midfielder from 1984 to 1999. Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, Jones represented and captained the Welsh national football team. 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 was especially noted for his aggressive style of play, earning him a "hard man" image on the field. Since his retirement from football, he has capitalised on his tough man image, and is known for his aggressive and intimidating demeanour, often being typecast into roles as hooligans and violent criminals.
