Wow, that is a seriously sad one for me. When I was in school in Llandudno, I played for an U16 team and still have a league winners medal from 1968 somewhere and although only 13 at the time, Joey Jones was our left back and it was clear even then that he was destined for greater things. Any 13 year old able to hold his own against 16 year old opposition was clearly ahead of the curve so it was no surprise when he joined Wrexham as a 16 year old. After I'd left the U16 age group, my brother also played alongside Joey for a few seasons as I seem to remember there were only a few weeks between them agewise. Plenty of memories of those days including Joey completely marking one Mickey Thomas out of one game against Mochdre. RIP Jonas.

Sad news.
It used to fascinate me that he had a tattoo.
Whatever next?

Only now seeing the thread, I wasn’t aware of his passing until I read this.

Joey Jones was a Welsh legend who always gave 100%, he was a member of the team that beat England in WeMobley back in 1977.
