Former Wales defender Jones dies aged 70

Former Wales, Liverpool and Wrexham defender Joey Jones has died aged 70.

The left-back won 72 caps for his country between 1975 and 1986.

Jones had three spells with Wrexham in addition to stints with Liverpool, Chelsea and Huddersfield Town.

He enjoyed a glittering three-year period with Liverpool - winning a First Division title, two European Cups, a Uefa Cup and a European Super Cup.

Jones lifted the Welsh Cup in his first spell with Wrexham and helped Chelsea secure the Second Division title in 1983-84.

He sits joint-15th alongside Mark Hughes in the list of most capped male players for Wales.
