Be it the football pitch or on the silver screen, Vinnie Jones is one intimidating character (famous for grabbing Paul Gascoigne by the testicles)! Having played for clubs like Chelsea, Leeds United, Wimbledon (the famous Crazy Gang) and Queens Park rangers, the ex-Welsh football player has had his fair share of controversies in his career.

But when he was at Queens Park Rangers, he was found guilty of assault and criminal damage when he attacked his neighbour. He first banged on the neighbour’s door before smashing a window. When his neighbour opened the door; Jones bit him on the head, punched him, kicked him and then stamped on him. But some evidence pointed to the contrary and Jones was fined and sentenced to 100 hours of community service.
