Vinnie Jones told his neighbour to ‘knock it on the f****** head’ for playing tennis too loudly — before realising it was Pete Sampras
VINNIE Jones yelled “Knock it on the f***ing head” at a neighbour playing tennis, not realising it was Pete Sampras.
The actor and ex-footie star was sunbathing with Jason Statham and Kelly Brook at his LA mansion when they got sick of the noise from next door.
He said: “Statham’s going, ‘Have a word’. So I scramble through the hedge going, ‘Oi, turn it down mate, we’re next door sunbathing’.
“He went, ‘You Vinnie Jones?’ I went, ‘Yeah’.
“He said, ‘I loved you in Snatch’. I said, ‘f*** that mate, knock the tennis on the f***ing head’.
“He said, ‘Er, sorry, I’ve got the US Open on Saturday’.

I said, ‘Who the f*** are you then?’ He said: ‘Pete Sampras’ — all right son, carry on.”
"Statham said: ‘Who was that?’ I said: ‘Pete Sampras’, he said: ‘You prick’."
Vinnie told the tale at an event with footie mate Paul Gascoigne in Middlesbrough on Sunday.
