A youthful TG JONES signed from Wrexham - for @BigMick & co -
Thomas George Jones – T.G. for short, and Tommy to his friends and admirers – is acclaimed as the classiest centre-half to have set foot on Goodison’s turf. Imperious in the air, cool as a cucumber with the ball at his feet in his own penalty box and capable of delivering a rocket shot, no less than the great Dixie Dean declared Jones to be the greatest all-round player he had ever seen. Seasoned observers dubbed him the Prince of Centre-Halves.
Part of the hallowed Toffees title-winning team of 1938/39, he was robbed of his greatest footballing years by war, but remained at the cub until 1950, when (correctly) deemed to be on the wane and surplus to requirements by manager Cliff Britton. The low-key exit – and a failed transfer to Roma several years earlier – rankled with Jones, who was not without an ego. He would never quite forgive the Blues, if anything the bitterness increased as the years passed.
And so began a fascinating new football adventure as a coach in his native North Wales. He led Pwllheli to unprecedented success in the early 1950s, all the while combining this with managing a hotel in the Llyn Peninsula town. In 1957 struggling Cheshire League side Bangor City came calling and Jones moved the city that he would call home for the rest of his life.

Player Valuation: £60m
Yet again, Eggo and his best man Peter Farrell are side by side. They really were inseparable mates.
Jake O'Brien credited Seamus Coleman with persuading him that there was ony one club for which he would sign.
I expect Seamus to be his buddy and mentor going forward, and that Jake will prove to be an immense addition to the team.
