John Hartson, the former Celtic striker, once found himself in an unforgettable street brawl with Hollywood tough guy Vinnie Jones to determine who was the toughest. The two Welsh internationals, who were close friends, decided to settle the score after a meal in London’s upscale Mayfair. At the time, Hartson was 25 and Jones was 35. What started as a friendly challenge quickly escalated into a full-on scrap, with both men exchanging punches until they were left bloodied and with torn shirts. Neither required medical attention, and neither filed police complaints, although officers were called to break up the fight. The altercation was simply a test of strength between two of football’s most notorious figures, and after the fight, they shook hands and went their separate ways, with the situation resolved.
