Cliff Jones

I've met him a few times and he told a story which demonstrates the way the game has changed in terms of recognition in society.
He was returning home to Swansea after 1958 World Cup with Terry Medwin and Mel Charles and they saw an old mate at the train station who saw they had their suitcases with them and he asked had they been away on holiday. Just can't imagine an international footballer travelling on public transport or someone not knowing there had been a world cup being played today.

True legend and a lovely man, in his time one of the best wingers in the world, pace, two footed, great header and fearless.

Could not agree more, i do not think i have ever seen any player who had the pace Jones had. Sir Bill once joked that they had to make sure all the gates around the Lane had to be shut as when he started running with the ball he could have ended up running down the high road.😂
