Joey Jones

Representing Wales on 72 occasions throughout his illustrious playing career, Joey Jones established himself as a legendary Welsh defender. Jones began his professional journey with Wrexham in 1971, contributing to their FA Cup quarter-final run in 1974 and securing the Welsh Cup in 1975. His formidable performances led to a significant move to Liverpool in July 1975 for a fee of £110,000, marking the beginning of a highly successful period. During his three-year tenure at Liverpool, Jones made 100 appearances and was an integral part of one of the club’s most successful eras.

Beyond his on-field and coaching contributions, Jones authored his autobiography, ‘Oh Joey, Joey!’ in 2005. His enduring popularity was further cemented when he was named Wrexham’s ultimate Cult Hero by BBC’s Football Focus in 2005, and in 2006, he was voted 63rd in Liverpool’s ‘100 Players who shook the Kop.’ More recently, he continued to contribute to the sport as a Youth team ambassador for Wrexham in 2021, cementing his legacy as a respected and influential figure in Welsh football.
