Vinnie Jones', lived up to his reputation after receiving a straight red card seven minutes into his Bordeaux debut on Sunday.The Ukrainian midfielder joined the relegation-threatened Ligue 1 outfit last month on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk and has already made his mark - mainly on opposition players.Following his unveiling at the French club, the hot-headed 24-year-old admitted he couldn't promise he wouldn't get himself sent off and it didn't take long for his prophecy to come to pass.Only seven minutes into making his Bordeaux bow, Ignatenko was given his marching orders as his new side were walloped 5-0 by a Hugo Ekitike-inspired Reims.Known for his crunching challenges and damning disciplinary record, Ignatenko has been labelled the 'Ukrainian Vinnie Jones' in reference to football's former hardest of hard men.The aggressive Jones gained his reputation during his playing days in the 80s and 90s, and was often regarded as the ringleader of Wimbledon's infamous "Crazy Gang".The former Welsh midfielder turned actor was sent off 12 times in his controversial career and holds the unwanted record of receiving the quickest ever booking in a football match, when he was cautioned after just three seconds.Is Vinnie Jones the toughest ever footballer?
