Vinnie Jones story: I shared two packs of cigars and a crate of Stella with Joe Kinnear before scoring Jack Grealish-style goal against Arsenal
Vinnie Jones has told talkSPORT he shared two packs of cigars and a crate of Stella with Wimbledon boss Joe Kinnear before scoring one of his favourite goals of his career.This years search for Goal of the Season may be over after Aston Villa star Jack Grealish scored a stunning Paul Scholes-esque volley against Derby County this weekend.It was a sublime finish from the young Englishman, and it reminded Jones of a certain goal he scored against Arsenal back in the 1996/97 campaign.Watch Jack Grealish’s stunning goal at the bottom of the pageGETTY3

Despite Vinnies recollection, his strike – which you can watch below – wasnt nearly as good as the Villa star’s, but the amazing story of what he got up to before that game makes it all the more impressive!Speaking to former Gunners midfielder Ray Parlour on Mondays Sports Breakfast, the footballer-turned-Hollywood hard man said: Raymondo, I just want to remind you about my goal against Arsenal like Jack Grealishs! It was pretty much the same.At Highbury, right in front of the north bank, I pealed off Raymondo, round the back and smashed it thorough the laces.Vinnie Jones is proud of his match-winning goal against Arsenal3

Pretty much the same?After watching said goal, Sports Breakfast host Max Rushden certainly wasnt convinced and, in his response, Jones gave us another one of his classic stories from Wimbledons Crazy Gang era.Listen, Ill tell you the build up to that game, the funniest thing ever,” he said.I went round to pick Joe Kinnear up, we had about two packets of cigars between us and a case of Stella. I wasnt going to play that day, but then the Wales manager turned up so I borrowed Robbie Earles moulded studs and played!Vinnie had a few cigars and beers with his Wimbledon boss before a game against Arsenal3

It was a beautiful day, we were watching the racing, having a bet, a few Stellas and a couple of packets of cigars and then we turned up and some idiot said the Welsh manager was there to watch me.After I scored that goal, I was so knackered I had to come off!Jack Grealish had just come back from an injury, but he didnt come back from his managers house, son. Grealish never had a case of Stella at two in the afternoon!Grealish v Jones whose strike do you rate more?
