Vinnie Jones (1989-1990)

Jones arrived from Wimbledon in June 1989 for £600,000 and became a Leeds cult figure overnight. Notoriety seemed to follow the former hod-carrier from the day he turned professional in 1986. The Ball-winning midfielder had been sent off three times in his Wimbledon career. Dubbed 'Psycho' by the media, he cleaned up his act and his long throw ins were a regular source of goals as he added a Second Division Championship medal to his already won FA Cup medal. The arrival of Gary McAllister saw him lose his first team spot and after 15 happy months, which saw him play 51 full games and score 9 goals, he left for Sheffield United for £700,000 in 1990, later returning to Wimbledon via Chelsea. Always controversial he was sent off in his fourth of 9 Welsh International Appearances and a total of 12 times in his career.
