Career

Jones joined First Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 1900, aged 23. He made his first team debut on 2 September 1901 in a 2–0 win v Nottingham Forest (at Molineux, the first of 111 consecutive appearances. Playing as a full-back, he missed only a handful of games during that decade, setting a club record of 5 ever-present seasons in the process.

He was part of Wolves' 1908 FA Cup triumph, when they defeated Newcastle United in the final to become the lowest ranked Football League side ever to win the trophy (after finishing 9th in the second tier).

An ankle injury in 1910 effectively ended his playing career, although he did not formally retire until 1913. He then served the club as an assistant trainer until the end of the decade.

He died aged 68, on 20 August 1945.

gollark: Or any time, really.
gollark: There would be no photon torpedoes at this time.
gollark: ```Cold Ones (also ice giants, the Finality, Lords of the Last Waste)Mythological beings who dwell at the end of time, during the final blackness of the universe, the last surviving remnants of the war of all-against-all over the universe’s final stocks of extropy, long after the passing of baryonic matter and the death throes of the most ancient black holes. Savage, autocannibalistic beings, stretching their remaining existence across aeons-long slowthoughts powered by the rare quantum fluctuations of the nothingness, these wretched dead gods know nothing but despair, hunger, and envy for those past entities which dwelled in eras rich in energy differentials, information, and ordered states, and would – if they could – feast on any unwary enough to fall into their clutches.Stories of the Cold Ones are, of course, not to be interpreted literally: they are a philosophical and theological metaphor for the pessimal end-state of the universe, to wit, the final triumph of entropy in both a physical and a spiritual sense. Nonetheless, this metaphor has been adopted by both the Flamic church and the archai themselves to describe the potential future which it is their intention to avert.The Cold Ones have also found a place in popular culture, depicted as supreme villains: perhaps best seen in the Ghosts of the Dark Spiral expansion for Mythic Stars, a virtuality game from Nebula 12 ArGaming, ICC, and the Void Cascading InVid series, produced by Dexlyn Vithinios (Sundogs of Delphys, ICC).```
