Career

Jones began his career at Cardiff City, developing a reputation for his long goal kicks which would often reach the opposition goal. After losing his place in the first team to Ron Nicholls, he moved to Scunthorpe United in December 1958 where he went on to spend the majority of his career at the club.[3] In 1959, while still a Scunthorpe player, he received a single vote for the Ballon d'Or, the prize for the best footballer in Europe. After leaving the club in 1964 he had spells at Charlton Athletic, Exeter City before moving into non-league with Yeovil Town. During one match for Yeovil in 1968, he was once substituted after conceding 5 goals in 11 minutes.[4]

In November 2009, Jones was honoured with a long service award by the Football Association of Wales.[5]

Jones died at the age of 77 on 18 January 2013.[1]
