A decent man.

Vinnie is never going to win any oscars, but he is an excellent 'hard man' actor.

When he was a pro footballer he was exactly the same. He was not the most technically gifted player on the pitch, but he always gave 100% and was a very hard tackler of the ball. Many opposition players were scared of him, which made him a valuable asset on the pitch. I saw him play 3-4 times, and always enjoyed watching him clatter the opposition.

If you've not seen the picture of him and Paul Gascoigne which is very famous in the UK. It's worth a look.

He had a pretty tough upbringing and has worked very hard to get where he is. Before becoming a footballer he was a brick layer. I once saw an interview with him in which he said 'if you asked anyone on a building site what they would like to be, they would say a Rock Star, Professional Footballer or Film Star. Two out of three isn't bad'
