Leeds Word On The Tweet

“Pantomime Villain” To “Secret Decent Bloke” – These Fans Get Nostalgic With Legends Incredible Performance – He Amazingly Won Them Over

|

With former Leeds United midfielder Vinnie Jones making his national singing debut in the X-Factor Celebrity thing on Saturday evening, I thought I’d take a look at his Twitter feed and stumbled over a response Vinnie had sent Piers Morgan concerning a game he played for Wimbledon when they faced Newcastle United.

I was naturally intrigued and I’m not saying my misspent youth involved lots of alcohol, but on seeing the short clip it linked to, I have absolutely no recollection of this game whatsoever given Vinnie’s exploits for Wimbledon – I remember the earlier Gazza moment and the iconic photo – but not that performance.

On the off chance I’m not alone in not remembering that (and I might be), our next generation will probably love it as it clues them into why Vinnie is so well regarded by the older generation at the club despite his short association with us (and Sheffield United links) as it definitely sums up his ‘give everything’ approach to the game.

They certainly don’t make them like that now.
