'He's given us the thumbs up himself': New mural dedicated to Leeds United cult hero in Armley

Mr Crowe, from Swillington, told the YEP:"It took us a week to do in all, fighting the weather and all the conditions we face here in Leeds but it's been really good.

"On the brickwork I think it stands out. It looks really good in this location right here on this junction and I think it's really good for the people of Leeds to see something like this. "Vinnie Jones is an absolute legend from the '90s and I think it's great to depict him in the mural." Artist Tom Crowe, from Swillington, pictured with the new Leeds United Supporters Trust Vinnie Jones mural at Whingate Junction in Armley, Leeds.

And he said that even Jones himself had"given us the thumbs up", after seeing the mural of himself completed.
