Joey Jones, the legendary former defender for Wales and clubs like Liverpool and Wrexham, has died at the age of 70. Known for his toughness and humble demeanor, he won a European Cup with Liverpool in 1977 and made 72 appearances for Wales, at one point being the most capped player. After his playing career, he transitioned to coaching and managing Wrexham. Jones is remembered for his hard-tackling style on the field and his beloved connection to fans, symbolized by his trademark clenched-fist salute.
Jones' lean frame and pipe-cleaner legs made him an unlikely hard man, but his uncompromising, tough-tackling style made him feared by attackers.
After retiring as a player, Jones coached and managed Wrexham, where he first played as a professional. His trademark clenched-fist salute also made him a firm favourite with supporters.
