euro metal

A form of heavy metal that evolved in continental europe (especially in Germany and Scandinavia) in parallel with and influenced by NWOBHM. Early members of the Euro metal movement were bands like Golden Earing (NL), The Scorpions (D), Jane (D) and Trust (F), but by the mid 1980's had evolved into a distinct brand of thrash metal.

Mercyful Fate (Den), Helloween (D), The Destroyers (Pol), Baron Rojo (Esp) and Bathory (Nor) are all good exapmles of how Euro metal evolved.

A nasty and cynical hard tackle or blantent foul committed in the early minutes of a game on the most talented member of the opposing term with the single aim to cause pain or injury so the fouled player will think twice before recieving the ball, or trying out his flash skills less he recieves a second helping. Nmaed after the former Wimbledon / Wales central midfielder turned actor who honed this bending of the rules into a fine art. Some times contracted to a Vinny

Beckham was running the game until the central defender did a Vinny (Jones) on him.
