Mick Jones: Neil Warnock leads tributes following death of former assistant, aged 75

Neil Warnock has paid tribute to his former assistant manager Mick Jones following his death at the age of 75.

Jones also managed in his own right at Mansfield, Halifax, Peterborough and Plymouth, as well as with the Brunei national team.

"We had some unbelievable times. Mick was the sensible one. I'll miss him loads," Warnock posted on Twitter.

The pair guided teams to promotion on six occasions - firstly Notts County from the old Second Division in 1991, and finally QPR from the Championship in 2011.

Jones was back at County, for whom he played 100 games as a defender, for his most recent job as part of Chris Kiwomya's coaching team but they left the club in October 2013.
