Here he is, the majestic TG Jones in his Welsh team I recommend you read the autobiography The Prince of Centre Halves - like you, I would have loved to been able to see this guy play - & he finished up running newsagents in Bangor, North Wales after also being a great Manager for Bangor City - plus we treated him in his era of playing appallingly - Everton That -Teams from abroad wanted to sign him & our club scuppered one deal ....
Rated by all as the best ball playing centre half ever, in his era .......
My late father - he had an elegance - great in the air - he could use left or right foot, plus he dribbled the ball out of defence to set an attack moving in the days of hoofing the ball down the field ....
I read that the great Brian Labone - Labby he mentioned him - as a hard act to follow - & he oozed class I was fortunate to see him ...
Dixie Dean congratulating Ted Sager far left the elegant TG Jones - for @Major Gowen - @Bluerover - Peter Farrell far right -
my mates dad , who i used to go the game with as he was getting on,, absolutely loved him said he was the best he had ever seen playing for us,
The super classy Colin Harvey -
Oh, for a defensive midfielder like this guy now -
