Vinnie Jones shares moving last card wife Tanya sent him before her death
VINNIE Jones shared photos of the last card sent to him by his late wife Tanya as he thanked fans for their support.
The ex-football star, 55, has spoken openly about his grief in the year since Tanya died aged 53 at their home in California after a long cancer fight.
On Twitter, Vinnie, 55, said: “I would just like to thank everybody for their really kind messages and support towards myself and especially Tansy.”
He said the love he felt was overwhelming.
Photos showed the card reading: “Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.”
Inside Tanya had written: “To my love Vin, Something wonderful happens to me every day…Being with you! You are my morning sunshine the moment I wake.
“With all my love, Tanya.”
Vinnie, now an actor, also told Piers Morgan’s Life Stories ITV show on Saturday night that he would never remarry.
The couple grew up in Watford and met and dated briefly as teens before going their separate ways.
But when Vinnie signed for Chelsea and returned to live in Watford he found Tanya living next-door-but-one.
The couple were together for 27 years and married for 25.
