PROFILE
Grandfather of Rob Jones, Bill Jones is probably best remembered by Liverpool fans
as the man who was preferred to Bob Paisley in the 1950 FA Cup Final, when the Reds lost
2-0 to Arsenal.
He joined the Reds from Derbyshire side Hayfield St Mathews in 1938 and won a
Military Medal during the allies crossing of the Rhine in World War Two.
Jones was recognised as one of Liverpool's finest utility players and in the
1946-47 Championship season, played in five different positions - ranging from centre
forward to full back and each time giving 100 per cent effort to the task.
An England international who won his two caps in 1950 Jones was also highly
regarded as a top-class cricketer. Indeed, it was believed he could have made the grade
had he not opted to concentrate on his football.
In the last game of the 1952/53 season he scored one of the two crucial goals that
secured Liverpool's top flight status but was unable to save them from the drop the
following year, after which he left to join Ellesmere Port Town as player/manager.
He returned to work for the Reds as a scout in the 1960's and 1970's and was
instrumental in the signing of many quality players during this time. Total LFC club games/goals
