HARDMAN Vinnie Jones is to recreate his famous Gazza balls grab for Netflix. The footballer-turned-actor, 56, will pocket £300,000 for a documentary on his time playing for Wimbledon’s so-called “Crazy Gang”. And it will see him repeat the moment he squeezed Paul Gascoigne’s privates during a match against Newcastle in 1988.
Gazza , now 57, said later: “People still ask me if it really hurt. "Just look at the picture. "Look at my face and look at the veins in his neck as he’s grabbing my knackers.
” Vinnie’s former teammates John Fashanu, 61, and Dennis Wise, 57 — who helped Wimbledon win the FA Cup in 1988 — will also feature. Vinnie’s tough guy role in 1998 flick Lock Stock sparked an unlikely change of career after his retirement. A source said: “Vinnie will relish reliving the glory years of the Crazy Gang.
"He has lots of memories and anecdotes that will raise a few eyebrows. “He’s so successful now as an actor, many people forget how talented he was on the pitch.”.
