Image for Leeds United: Fans reminisce over Vinnie Jones

Leeds United fans have been reminiscing on Twitter over former midfielder Vinnie Jones. 

This comes after a Leeds fan on Twitter @Gummo88805622 shared a post on their page that included a video of Jones laughing and chatting with a group of disabled Leeds fans during his time at the club.

The post was captioned saying that Jones will “always be loved” at the club.

Should Leeds have kept hold of Vinnie Jones for longer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to heap praise on their former midfield man.

Here’s a sample of Leeds fans discussing Jones:

The now 55-year-old joined Leeds in the summer of 1989 from Wimbledon for a fee of £694k (per Transfermarkt). Despite leaving the Yorkshire club to make a move to Sheffield United in Septemeber 1990, it appears that Jones left a lasting impression on these Leeds fans. This latest post on the midfielder led to a lot of Leeds fans sharing their thoughts and positive feelings on their former man.

What do we think?

The footage of Jones chatting with the fans at Leeds is very heartwarming to see. It’s also great that so many Leeds fans still have positive opinions on the midfielder after only spending a year at the club.
