VINNIE JONES has revealed getting into furious scrap with Wimbledon boss Bobby Gould.
Jones, who played over 200 games for the “Crazy Gang” in two spells played a huge part in the club’s incredible rise through the leagues resulting in the FA Cup triumph over Liverpool in 1988.
And while Gould was at the helm, the midfield hardman-turned-Hollywood star recalled a story about dressing room dust-up between himself and the former Wales manager.
Jones told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast on talkSPORT: “We played at Luton, I used to get in the bath, stretch off and get the knee joints going.
“Then Gouldy comes running in, shouting ‘You ain’t it! You ain’t playing on Saturday!’
“So I jumped out and put a towel on, and it’s all gone off. I grabbed hold of him and pushed him up against the wall – he’s hit his head on the little peg we put our shirts on!

“On the Saturday morning I was put back in the team, but, where Gouldy got me was, he pulled me off after 15 minutes and put me on the bench!
“So he got his own back.”
