It's Been Emotional

Product Information

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.

He outraged me when he complains about a British policeman who was simply doing his job when he arrested Vinnie's son for drink driving. If you are not a football fan you will (like me), and live in the UK you still probably heard of Vinnie in some sort of trouble on and off the pitch. He put his hands up and owns up to his mistakes, says looking back I would have done this differently, but at the time this is what I was feeling.Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .

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. His Hollywood career is overblown and he seems to take most delight in naming the people he’s bumped into in Hollywood. 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. Our aim is to re-use, re-distribute or re-cycle books so that we reduce waste and make a difference to literacy, educational achievement or quality of life in our local area. On the one hand, I was fascinated to read the details of Vinnie's football career moves and his transition to Hollywood.The book was a good mix of anecdotes and background information that kept me enjoying the read throughout. 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'.

The second part about Hollywood leant too heavily on meeting the big name stars, as opposed to interesting stories.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.

For me, reading this kind of supported my existing view of Vinnie Jones, as a person, but it was also interesting to learn about some of the other things that he’s done throughout the years and that I wasn’t aware of. He played hard, fast, aggressive and successful; however no matter his on pitch performances, his reviews were always negative.All our memorabilia comes with an official ‘Events Room’ Certificate of Authenticity, which serves to protect and guarantee your investment.
