It's Been Emotional

Product Information

A true strength of this book is if you do not agree or are a fan of Vinnie Jones, by the end of the book you will respect him as a person for what he has been through and achieved. A good read for all footbal and non football fans, especially the ones who can remember the crazy gang.

His celebrity status has grown over the years after appearing in the 2010 series of Big Brotherand coming third, as well as the hugely successful British Heart Foundation CPR campaign. Vinnie has since gone on to play roles in Snatch (2000), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), Mean Machine (2001) and X-Men : The Last Stand. Born and bred in Watford, Jones represented and captained the Welsh national football team after qualifying through a Welsh grandparent. In fact, it turns out that he’s lived a far more exciting life than I knew about, including after his rise to fame as a movie star – seems like he’s more of a celebrity over in the States than he is in the UK, although he is still a household name, even if his career does seem to have dried up a little, recently. Also it is worth remembering Vinnie was playing football before footballers were making the super-exuberant money they are today.This is the bookish equivalent of a guilty pleasure – I tried to hide the cover when I was reading it on the bus and on my lunch break at work, and felt the need to justify myself to my friends when they asked me what I was reading.

On the other hand though, I'd have liked to have read more detail about the degree to which he has understood himself and tamed his 'black dog'.

Some terminology that may be used in this description includes: Acceptable A non-traditional book condition description that generally refers to a book in readable condition, although no standard exists. He’d be a good guy to go for a pint with, but not to get in a fight with – these days, he doesn’t drink or fight. He would read a bit then tell me some things about what he'd read and he really enjoyed it, so much so it didn't take him long at all to finish it! The book was a good mix of anecdotes and background information that kept me enjoying the read throughout. After reading this book I have done back and YouTubed some of his matches and Vinnie's commentary of the matches is spot on in my opinion.Virgin Airways did exactly the right thing in banning him for life - he seems to show no contrition for scaring other passengers to death and ruining their flight experience. He played hard, fast, aggressive and successful; however no matter his on pitch performances, his reviews were always negative. The saving grace is that he appreciates those people around him who've helped him along the way, not least his patient wife, Tanya.
