Vinnie Jones was born in Watford to a Peter Jones (a gamekeeper) and Glenda Harris Jones.[2] He started his football career in 1984 at Alliance Premier League side Wealdstone, during which time he combined playing football with being a hod carrier.[3] He played one season with second-level Swedish club IFK Holmsund in 1986 and helped them win the league.[4]

Later that year he moved to Wimbledon for a £10,000. He was part of the 'Crazy Gang' team that won the 1988 FA Cup Final against Liverpool, arguably the club's greatest achievement. He subsequently played for Leeds United, where he was part of a young side under the management of Howard Wilkinson. During his time there, he won promotion to the old Division one from the second division. After helping them win promotion to the top-flight as Champions of Division Two, Jones proved that he could thrive without the illegal side of his game, and under the stewardship of Wilkinson, he received only three yellow cards in the whole season.

Jones left Leeds after losing his first team place to David Batty and Gary Speed, much to the disappointment of the Leeds fans, in order to seek regular first team football. To this day, he remains a hugely popular figure with the Leeds fans, Vinnie also has a Leeds United badge tattoo on his leg (after having helped them to the 1989/90 second division championship)[5]. Jones also showed his passion for the club when he returned to Leeds for Lucas Radebe's testimonial in 2006. Vinnie also played for Sheffield United and Chelsea, before moving back to Wimbledon again in 1992 where he played over 250 games, before briefly becoming player/coach of QPR in 1998, scoring on his debut against Huddersfield Town.[6] When overlooked for the vacant post of manager of QPR, he announced he would move to Manchester United.

During his playing days, he was renowned for his "hard man" image, an aspect of his play that was frequently the target of criticism. He was sent off 12 times in his career, as well as holding the record for the quickest ever booking in a football match, being booked after just three seconds for a foul on the opposition player Dane Whitehouse in a Premier League tie between Chelsea and Sheffield United in 1992.[7] In his autobiography, he recalls fondly: "I must have been too high, too wild, too strong or too early, because, after three seconds, I could hardly have been too bloody late!". In one notorious incident, Jones is photographed grabbing Paul Gascoigne by his testicles in order to faze him.[8] In November 1986, in a match between Tottenham and Wimbledon, he was responsible for a dangerous challenge on defender Gary Stevens, an injury that Stevens never fully recovered from and eventually caused him to retire in 1992.[9]

He also was the presenter of the infamous Soccer's Hard Men video released in 1992, which featured archived footage of himself and many other "hard men" of the game, and included advice for budding "hard men". After the release of the video, Jones was fined £20,000, banned for six months, and suspended for three years from The FA for "bringing the game into disrepute." Wimbledon chairman Sam Hammam branded Jones a "mosquito brain". Jones continued to find trouble. After exceeding 40 disciplinary points he was once again summoned to Lancaster Gate, but failed to appear. The FA banned Jones indefinitely. Jones explained that he had "mixed up" the date of the hearing; the FA imposed a four-match ban and told Jones to "grow up"."[10] Jones commented later: "The FA have given me a pat on the back. I've taken violence off the terracing and onto the pitch."[11]

Many of Jones' fellow professionals were quick to condemn both the video and Jones himself. One of his most vocal critics was David Ginola, who said, "Jones does not deserve to be considered a footballer. Getting kicked is part of the job in France as well as England, but the real scandal is that someone like Jones gets to be a star, to make videos and become an example for kids."

Jones was so desperate to play international football he looked to distant relations and was photographed wearing an Republic of Ireland jersey before being chosen by Wales. Though Jones is a common surname in Wales, the qualifying relationship was his maternal grandfather, who came from Ruthin, north Wales. He earned nine caps and even captained the side.

Jones's international call-up was however greeted with consternation and even ridicule by Jimmy Greaves, who said, "Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!".

Jones has stated that he would eventually like to return to football, possibly to Leeds. Jones told Yorkshire Radio "I will come back without a doubt, Leeds fans gave me so much and it's a club very close to my heart."[12]

Jones made an appearance in Ireland for Carlisle United, coming on as a second-half substitute in 2001 against Shelbourne, teaming up with friend Roddy Collins who was manager at the time.
