The largely unknown striker, who never played for the national team but made a single appearance for the Under-21 outfit, was a Spurs apprentice before breaking into the first team soon after 1973.

Having played for around nine years at White Hart Lane; a stint that saw the Englishman make over 180 appearances for Spurs from 1973 to 1982 and endure relegation with the club and come back up after a single season, Jones sealed a move to Manchester City in 1982 for a £110,000 deal. The move to the Maine Road though, could never work out well and Jones could appear only three times for the Citizens, before sold to Crystal Palace in the same year.

He went onto play for Charlton Athletic and made over a 100 appearances for Leyton Orient as well, a club he joined in 1984 and spent a couple of years at.
