Vinnie Jones reveals skin cancer battle The ex-midfielder, best known for his Crazy Gang antics at Wimbledon, said: "When the doctor said I had skin cancer, the first thing I thought was, 'How long have I got?' A million and one things go through your head. Jones, whose on-screen career took off with his Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels performance, has had three operations to remove cancerous patches: two under his eye and one on the back of his head. And he is worried about where he may find another. It's weighing very heavily on me all the time. It has really knocked me for six and made me reassess my life and goals," he said. Jones said he had never done much sunbathing, but thinks he developed the disease from working outside on building sites and football training grounds, and taking part in outdoor hobbies like fishing. He warned others: "If you spot something on your skin that doesn't feel right, like a little spot or tick, then get it checked out immediately."
