It was created by Tom Crowe of Northern Mural Co in partnership with the Leeds United Supporters Trust (LUST).
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.

"Vinnie Jones is an absolute legend from the '90s and I think it's great to depict him in the mural."
And he said that even Jones himself had "given us the thumbs up", after seeing the mural of himself completed.
"So we can't ask for more really," Mr Crowe added.

All of the murals are Leeds United themed.
They include former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, in Hyde Park, and ex-playmaker Pablo Hernandez, on Kirkgate.
