One surprising example was a young Jamie Redknapp. I think Jones was playing for Chelsea at the time, and he clattered Redknapp at one point and (I think) poked him in the eye. Redknapp at first seemed to shrink from the challenge, but gradually got into the game, and ended up scoring a last minute winner. Then, in the remaining seconds of the game, he absolutely flew through Jones, kicking him right up in the air. He was only 19 at the time.
I remember Jamie had a bit of spite in his tackles at times to be fair
Redknapps are so classy. A great family
@@Creees do me a favour I love arry but he’s a proper old school cockney wide boy and I like him for it
Thats things that I would have done if I was a player.
@@pagodebregaeforro2803 🤣🤣
Note how after a hard tackle, with a player getting hacked down, how they got right back up. No rolling , no crying, no clutching a part of their body that received no contact. Bruno Fernandes gets brushed by the laces of an opponent’s boots,he falls to the ground grimacing, crying to the ref. Won his last penalty just like that. Total disgrace how these players behave now.
If you're meaning the tackle on Cantona then that's simply because Eric Cantona was a machine and would cheerfully have knocked vinnie Jones out.
He was prevented from doing so simply because he was more scared of what Alex Ferguson would have said..
Yea especially the English national team in particular bell endham and Kane,Kane is a pure cheat.
Peter butler at West Ham bullied him all over the pitch one night.
Jones was moaning to the ref constantly.
Not hard just a bully
And Butler wasn’t even the toughest guy in the team
as a welsh fan vinnie was always a wnkr, was in good films but wasn't good. did well 4 himself with very little talent, so fair play!!
@@russell-di8js I'm sure he's really bothered you think he's a wnkr. 😆
WOW! i wonder if u read my full though rather short comment? plus i didn't post it to jone's! @@roblewis2595
@@russell-di8js Gordon Strachan said "Vinnie could play a bit" so you have to respect that coming from Strachan.
Vinny jones is all hype, Terry Hurlock took him out when millwall played Wimbledon and he visibly shrunk
Plough Lane, Boxing Day, Terry Hurlock smashed him!
Facts! Big Dunc and Kevin Ball too
You describe Vinnie as "an Englishman", but he played at international level for Wales.
Ah, good old Taffy Jones.
It's OK, we don't claim him. The English are welcome to him.
Dumb comment. He IS an English man. The fact he represented Wales is irrelevant.
He has family in the Tonypandy area of South Wales ...........
If you’ve visited wales & are good enuff you’d get a game
Terry hurlock ran him all over the pitch at Millwall....
And watch him cower out of tackles in a League Cup game when Hurlpck was with Southampton and Jones was with Chelsea.
Yes lad we had Terry at rangers great guy
Big dunc would off easily put him in his place 😂😂😂
I doubt it
@@pjoseph5950they played against each other plenty of times jones knew not to play around with dunc and he didn’t
Don't know about easily but get what your saying thay definitely were cut from the same side of the cloth
Big Dunc wasn't all that, all mouth I reckon. Jones was just wreckless but Fash was the toughest in that Dons team. He'd have bullied Dunc and smashed him with ease if playing directly against him.
@@wellingsrob4no chance. Was Duncan all mouth in jail then? Or when he chased 3 robbers and caught 1 and kept him there until the cops came? Watch BBC’s top ten premiership hard men, get some perspective for yourself. Brian Clough put Fashanu in his place many years ago
3:51 Gazza nutmegs Vinny. Priceless.
Yo American never compare Keane to Jones without Keane United wouldn't have had the success they had IMO I'm an arsenal fan and Keane was the only man able to stand up to vieira on the pitch and being half his size Keane is LEGEND Jones is CLOWN
How can you say Keane is a legend ? He should have been arrested for his career ending tackle on Haaland . He’s got no class at all. He only gets t v work now because they want him to be controversial.
@@Bornandbred65But he didn’t end Haaland career bcos he played 4 more games after that tackle .
I don’t think he compared the two players, to be honest.
Hard - Souness, McMahon, Hurlock, Whitehurst, Case, Ferguson, Harford, Blake, Dennis, Smith, Hunter, Harris, Pearce, Robson et al!!
Norman Whiteside would have done Vinny “ I’m well ard Jones “ Jones even wrote in his book that the only player who done him was Bryan Robson .
I'd add big Fash to that esteemed list. He was brutal, head-butting and elbowing opponents. Players who wrote autobiographies said he was hard AF and brutalised defenders.
Apparently Akinfenwa was also hard as nails.
IIRC Harford was the man that no one in the Wimbledon changing room dared play practical jokes on. The story goes that Jones cut the end of his socks off, as part of the ritual hazing. Harford returned to the changing room, found what had happened, and asked who did it. Jones didn't dare own up, so terrified was he of the response.
You left out Dave Mackay, hardest of them all.
Souness was one tough nut. There was a story about a referee being bribed in a European competition in Bucharest against Liverpool. A Bulgarian player was kicking everything around him and referee blew nothing. That Bulgarian mysteriously had his jaw broken at halftime.
I met Vinny Jones a couple of times during his time at Leeds United.....both occasions were in the silver tree club in chapeltown... A blues club in a shady leeds suburb....Top geezer👍
That Jones *only* had a dozen red cards and a hundred or so yellow, says everything about how the game was back in that era. Realistically, he wouldn't have had any kind of career in football at any level as it is now, as it's doubtful he could have ever finished a game... perhaps even a half. Pre-VAR, he might have been able to get away with some of it - his off the ball antics - but he'd still get sent off for the the type of foul that in the past, he could get away with several times before even a booking. Even many of his legitimate tackles would be straight red cards today, since they were often with dangerous and excessive force.
He never messed with Duncan Ferguson
Nobody did and lived to tell the tale🫣
@@lestrem11Apart from neil ruddock who he steared clear of after a hard challange. ua-cam.com/video/CIMjUTr9X04/v-deo.htmlsi=1yeByskzgRRK-xy7
And Big Dunc never messed with Vinnie 😆. Works both ways.
Big Duncan was the hardest thing to hit the premier League and Scotland missed out on a legend
You mean Duncan never messed with him
Roy Keane never claimed to be a hard-man, in fairness to him. He was just a tough tackling no nonsense kind of player, who lost his temper maybe half a dozen max times on the football field.
👍 Great midfielder and leader (only a United hater would think otherwise, tbh). Had a nasty streak, with it, a bit like his fellow countryman Johnny Giles, in the sixties.
Roy Keane was one of the greatest footballers ever and most important player in Manchester Uniteds most successful period it annoys me when people think of him as a hard man like jones ffs!!
Facts him and vieira where TITANS being an arsenal fan I hated him but u have to give the man respect he is a LEGEND
One of the greatest footballers😂😂😂😂😂
One of the greatest ever !!!😂😂😂
@@ahmadmorsy1561absolutely, the ability to win games came from his leaderships as well, he's more responsible for United's trophies than most other players
Well he admitted the wanted to badly injure Haaland
Billy Whitehurst, Kevin Ball I saw both of them give it to him. Billy Whitehurst was an absolute animal he had one of them heads. If you got a punch on him, you'd have a broken hand. His head was a canister.
Billy and Vinnie were team mates at Sheffield Utd
@@garyt8441 im a blade, and vinnie and billy were out they were getting picked on by a large gang of wednesday fans billy went outside tore into 5 of them then casually walked back in pub to finish his pint off.
@@burningsoul1365it’s on an Under the Cosh podcast, Billy says your best 2 and our best 2 at which him and Vinny go out and flatten the 2 Owls lads and come back in to finish their pints
You never mentioned players that he (let’s say never had it his own way against). Keith ‘Rhino’ Stevens. Terry Hurlock. Jimmy Case.
I was just going to mention Hurlock. Smith of Liverpool or was that before his time.
@@alfbrent6311 yeah Tommy Smith I think had already retired by the time Jones come on the scene?
@@alfbrent6311 Jones made his Wimbledon debut in 1986. Tommy Smith had retired seven years before then in 1979.
Case was well hard.
Duncan Ferguson would have ended him 👍🏻🏴
I couldnt stand Vinnie Jones. The stereotype of a bully. If he was truely a hard man he'd have gone into professional boxing or even MMA (if it was around in his time)
Instead he was running around a football field violently assaulting people who he knew werent fighters and were often a fair bit smaller than him.
Big Dunc didn't go into Boxing or MMA either, does that mean he's not a hard man aswell?
He took out Cantona and Keane in the same match circa 1994.
Vinny jones wasn't hard he was aggressive and violent, there's a difference.
Vinnie Jones would send Neymar and Vini Jr to outer space with those kind of tackles. They won’t stop rolling
Bonnie Jones debiera tratar de hacer eso en la liga Argentina donde los defensores juegan con agujas y alfileres escondidos en el ruedo del pantalón y en los tiros de esquina se los clavan en las costillas a los rivales! Después las tiran al pasto y adiós! 🙌 Nadie puede comprobar NADA! 😁
Es fácil ser "chico malo" en el fútbol europeo donde juegan 100 veces más limpio! 🥴 Vení hacerte el matoncito en Sudamérica, salís en silla de ruedas al segundo partido...
Eric just got straight up, looked at Jones briefly and turned his back thinking no big deal.
Pure class
About as class as his flying kick. Idiot.
More like he bottled it.
@@UrbinEbwai More like he knew Vinnie try to sent him off. Cantona is strongest player ever no one mess with him but he was too value for team best CF in league unlike jones whos team not depending on him.
@@UrbinEbwaiWell, he was a football player. He had a game to play.
Not like that guy that acted tough on a football field with clumsy tackles. Try going into a combat sport competition and we shall see how tough he is…guess he never did and will never do.
Oh wait, he did WWF / WWE, right? Yeah…real tough.
More like: Eric didn't want that smoke. xD
😂 Flying in two footed at waist height doesn’t make you hard!! 🤡
Quite.
Funny thing is Vinny Jones wasn't the hardest man in that Wimbledon team. Even by his own admission, Fash was the real hard man... only that he went about his business in a cleverer way, as Gary Mabbut can testify.
My favourite Keane moment was when he was wiped out by Alan Shearer, got up and swung for him. Shearer barely flinched and just laughed as Keane lost his marbles.
Maybe you should take a look back at the video footage 😂😂
Plus, it more of an annoyed slap than a swinging punch. Shearer was tough, for sure, although as a footballer he was best as a big fish in a small pond type.
Is that the time when he begged Beckham to hold him back?
So he was a bully and got away with it, No friends Vinnie.
Vinny Jones makes keane look like a choir boy 😂
whitehurst does the same to vinnie
Jones was terrified of Terry Hurlough
His name is spelt Hurlock not Hurlough.
Thanks for that
Even the devil is terrified of Terry Hurlock!
He absolutely $hite himself at The Manor against Billy Whitehurst.....he went running off all mouth before the games. 😂😂😂 COYY 👊💛💙
No was messed with whitehurst had a few bare knuckle fights as well
Jones is only a 'hard man' to people who know f*** all about the game.
He was a crude clogger, the real hard men could swat him like a fly. And properly great players like George Best would have got him off balance, lulled him into a 50/50 ball, and put him in hospital.
Like Steve McMahon. Jones went through him early doors to make some kind of point, but McMahon shrugged it off and even managed to give Jones an elbow to the face as he went down
@@paulharper4196 ...and yet McMahon ended up on the losing side, and was non existent for the rest of the game. Chalk one up for Vinnie. 😁
@@paulharper4196 , I don't think McMahon would last long in a fight vs Vinnie Jones.
Most probably, Jones just took that elbow lightly and decided he didn't want to cause any trouble in that particular incident.
Clearly you know "f*** all about the game" if you think he wasn't a hard man. Everyone was fearful of Vinnie back then, mainly because he was a complete nutcase.
@@99whizzman13 😂😂😂You really have no clue do you.
Jones has acted his entire career..played the role of "football hard man" for a number of years then moved into gangster roles..
Jones is clever in that respect.
There is a video of Vinne fighting in a bar somewhere online.. if only his opponents knew he couldnt fight sleep.
Love to watching Billy at Hull City. Cult hero!
He tried to clatter Mark Hughes once, he bounced of Hughes and never went near him again.
These BS stories are great.
I can't beleive the hardest man ever in football has never been mention, Billy Whitehurst. He was a hard hard man, google him
Ron chopper Harris
No one comes close.
Big Duncan wants a word.
Even The Butcher of Bilbao would destroy him
Big dunc would eat him alive
Norman Whiteside and Bryan Robson would have smashed Vinny Jones .
Football players? FFS! 😅😅😅😅
Love to see them on a rugby pitch. 👊👊
Zzzzzx
Yawn all rugby men are hard. That’s funny.
I’d like to have seen Dave Mackay in his prime take on Vinnie Jones.
Vinnie just played up to the image the tabloids had given him. True, he was never going to be coveted by Real Madrid or AC Milan but he was a great Captain and leader to that Wimbledon side and always galvanised his team mates and gave his all to the clubs he was loyal to. Always had time for the fans too...Top fella.
Agreed. The sort of player everyone else hates but his club's fans love because he gave 101% all the time. Genuine, no-nonsense trier who drove his team mates on and always had their backs . Got to admire him for that.
Yeah and brought such glory...
Yep and Gordon Strachan said about Vinnie "He could play a bit."
No one expected a young Keane to do anything in the early clip. Jones tackled him and Fash barged him. He wasn't saying anything to those - Keane became the Keane after this - not putting him down but at the time no one thought of Keane as anything but a decent mid signed.
To be clear though, Vinnie is no tough guy off the pitch. He put in silly tackles but the Tamer chat, if it was a scrap Tamer would walk away with Vin on the floor. Vinnie wasn't tough - who am I? No one. But Vinnie would get eaten alive even on the pitch against players like Duncan Ferguson. He put in daft tackles... Fash, now Fash was a tough guy.
👍 Yeah, good point, Keane was still very young at that point, Jones and Fash were a lot older, seasoned pros in a notorious team. Paul Ince had himself down as being a bit handy at that point, when he started referring to himself as 'The Guvnor', even having Guv 1 on his license plate. Silly t**t...😂
Nice little trip down memory lane
Hardman? Is this some sort of joke?😂😂😂
That Gazza photo is superb.
You left out Marcus Gayle who is alleged to have knocked him out during a halftime debate where MG was blamed by VJ for their 1/0 deficit.The 2nd half kick off was apparently delayed to allow the Wimbledon captain sufficient time to recover.
Hardman or bully remains the subject of debate , his willingness to give 100 percent for the clubs he played for remains unquestionable.
And then there's rugby.
And then, there's boxing, Muay Thai and MMA.
So your point is?
I also met Keane Jones, who played football wildly
What about when he had to fight Ross Kemp in extras
Super Army Soldiers.
Big dunc and billy whitehurst
Won the title at Leeds and never got booked that season.
Vinnie wasn't bad; Vinnie was crazy
Roy Keane always picks on guys that would never fight.
Hes come up against Viera, Jones and Ferguson, he shay it everytime😂
Big Joe Corrigan was brutal!
Big Joe corrigan was the shyest man I,ve ever met.Met him 12 times a year when he came for his transport cheque,lovely man.
Never accept bullies never ,, you have to sleep at night 👍
So none of them actually dared to fight Vinnie Jones then
Duncan Ferguson would have destroyed Jones
Oh yes. 😅
But never did... perhaps because he was too busy lying on the treatment table rather than actually playing.
Jones was trash on the pitch, hartson was filth.
I missed the part where anyone fought Vinnie Jones.
Trevor Hockey Norman Hunter and Tommy Smith would have shown all these so called harden a lesson
Even vinny was scared of big dunc
Said the same myself lol 👍🏻🏴
Everyone was scared of big Dunc . I’ll never forget Jimmy Bullards face 😂😂
Works both ways doesn't it? 😂
Says who?... Big Dunc was scared of playing he spent that many games on the treatment table.
Hardest man in football I'd go with big Dunc
How is Vince Jones an Englishman? He is Welsh and played for Wales. Hartson also played for Wales.
He was Welsh only under FIFA qualification rules 'cos he had a Welsh grandparent. But born and grew up in England with an English mum and dad. Makes him English in everyone's book. Be honest, he'd never have got selected for England, would he, so he leapt at the chance to play for international football for Wales when it was offered to him. I think he must have played against Cardiff, Newport and Swansea a few times for Wimbledon though, so at least he had set foot in Wales. Doesn't make him actually Welsh though!
He admitted the hardest play he came up against was Kevin Ball
wrong asdk vinnie he will tell you whitehurst, know both of them
I feel like Van Dijk could hold his own with Vinnie
Vinnie Jones was smashed to bits by Tamer Hassan when he thought he would fight the ex semi pro boxer.
And one man Vinnie wouldn’t touch, Kevin Ball from Sunderland, he kept well away from Bally.
He wasn't an English man he represented Wales!
Imagine zlatan vs vinnie jones💀💀
🤣 whys roy Keane in the video 🤣 he certainly didn't dare Stand Upto him
Mark hughes did vinnie jones at OT back in the day
John broke Kean's leg, Rama Kean is like a cat who doesn't cut when he meets John.
Don't know why so many people call him a hard man when really all he did most of the time was cheap shot players who weren't expecting, or take the first hit on people who simply wanted to play football and not get sent off
Everybody is talking about what big Dunc did to the burglar but nobody talked about what Leonardo Bonucci did. He was at a car showroom with his wife and son then 2 guys came and tried to mob him, WITH A GUN. Bonucci managed to punch that guy and chased him down. The mob guy literally ran and shouted "what are you doing, i have a gun!". That is scary and also funny at the same time
You could see that Roy Keane was scared. And Cantona, he jumped up read yto fight whomever tackled him. Saw it was Vinnie, and went into mouse mode 🙂
Vinnie and Eric became close friends when they were both at Leeds , Eric wasn't scared of anybody
yeah right..the United team were more scared of Fergie, who knew what to expect and instructed then not to rise to the bait, Cantona and Keane were killers who would have seriously fvckd him up...Jones nothing more than a cowardly bully..
Roy was focusing on the game and not on Vinnie. At no point does it ever show him getting scared 😂😂.
Utd not falling into the Wimbledon trap .... They had titles to win , do you really think Eric was scared
Eric went to fight in the crowd of an opposing team...
I don't think Cantona was scare of anybody.
The insane Cantona's goal later that night says more that the lad wasn't intimidated at all.
Billy Whitehurst he was afraid of
He never had a fight with Oliver Khan or Toni Schumacher, I believe that I would have been afraid of the referee afterwards
Peter Reid could look after himself
He wasn’t english. He played for Wales!
I like Vinny.. but when he was on the gladiators he was as tough as a pack of marshmels...😂😂💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍
Big dunc would have punched vinnie out his puma kings then back into them 😂😂🏴👍🏻
He'd have to roll off the treatment table first 😂
Vinnie jones wasnt an English man. Hes Welsh 😂
Wrong
He is English because was rejected by three lions,opted for Wales as it was the country of his grandmother
the jury has spoken
He was born in Watford, so that makes him English.
If a mouse is born in a stable, does it make it a horse?
Tommy Smith...
Loved it when Gascoigne nutmegs Jones!
None of Utd tough guys wanted to tangle with him,
Cantona was scared of him, Keane was aswell
Na , they were told not to fall into the Wimbledon trap...utd had titles to win.
@@mattvaisey9733shame Cantona wasn't told not to fall into the Palace fan's trap... what a berk!
So would diedre Rasheed of coronation st ! ❤🏠🦊
Liverpool fc always issuing statements about rival fans buses being attacked and absolutely nothing imagine if it was their bus being attacked they would want it going to parliament about and also demand points being deducted like they want 2 premier league titles cause they finished 2nd to city always the victims
Need to rename - Football central.
Never saw much of him in games against United. Robson and later Keane were the real hard men. Compared to them and Jimmy Case, Jones was a wannabe.
Nowadays it's no longer possible get away with criminal and vicious takles. The referees of the gave a bad service to Football, they let pass criminal plays that ended the career of many players
Where exactly is the clip where Keane dared to fight Vinnie?
Encourage anyone to look up the story of Clough and Fashanu.
If you have to go around claiming to be or describing yourself as a hard man, you're not a hard man.
Big Dunc would have snapped him like a twig and that's from a Liverpool fan
But never did... perhaps because he was too busy lying on the treatment table 😂
The entire Wimbledon team were a street gang that played football , the club itself existed for no other reason than to give probation officers Saturday off , Jones was a role model to several generations of sociopaths from the school of hard love, greatly missed 😅
The best street gang ever though. Cobbled together for mere pennies by today's standards but finished as high as sixth. Always a good watch as well, played football like their lives depended on it and no side has ever had a better team spirit . So-called classier teams rarely got the better of them, which alone says a lot. I certainly miss them, they were the epitome of proletarian footballers mixing it with highly paid artisans, and standing proud. Proper blue collar team.
Until they come to goodison last day coach burnt out players weren't leaving Liverpool if they won end of he says in his book he shithimself himself
That's quite a recommendation 🤣
Many dyer couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Acts just like vinnie Jones but he could fight. Big dunk Ferg top dog.
😂😂 Norman Whiteside would have absolutely demolished him. Just ask Steve McMahon...
Eric would have taken him one on one no problem 😊
Big Dunc would have taken them all on at once
Anyone who thinks Vinnie Jones was a hard man knows nothing about football. He deliberately picked on young players....any of the older guys he tried that with made short work of him and never did it again
Ofcourse he’s Welsh we all nutters down here
People in the comments talking nonsense about Jones not messing with Duncan Ferguson, but ask yourself why Ferguson didn't want to mess with Vinnie? Works both ways doesn't it? 😂😂
