Joey Jones dead at 70: Former Chelsea, Liverpool and Wrexham star dies as tributes pour in for ‘inspiration'

FORMER Liverpool defender Joey Jones has died aged 70. The left-back played for the Reds from 1975-1978 and also spent three years at Chelsea after signing in 1982. 3 3 Former Liverpool player John Aldridge posted: "More sad news folks Joey Jones passed away last night. "What a lovely man and an inspirational full back who gave his heart and soul in a red shirt and for all the clubs he played for! "Our thoughts are with joeys family! I'm a lucky man to have met him many times." Welshman Jones started his career at Wrexham before joining Liverpool - winning the league and European Cup in 1977. He returned to Wrexham in 1978 for a further four seasons before leaving for Chelsea. With the Blues, he helped them win the second division in 1984. Jones moved to Huddersfield in 1985 for two seasons before finishing his career back at Wrexham in 1992 after five final seasons. He also made 72 international appearances for Wales - scoring once. After retiring, Jones worked as an Under 18's and Reserve team coach for Wrexham until 2017. He also had a brief spell as caretaker boss in 2001 - taking over from Brian Flynn before Denis Smith came in. Jones also had a youth team ambassador role at Wrexham. Mickey Thomas, who played with Jones at Wrexham, posted a heartfelt tribute. Thomas said: "This morning I lost my best friend and soul mate, Sir Joey our memories will never fade - Today my heart is broken. "Love you Sir Joey RIP. My condolences are with Janice and all the family." 3

Champions League giants could build stunning new 120,000-capacity stadium as talks begin over biggest ground in Europe

BENFICA could build a stunning new 120,000 capacity stadium that would make it the biggest ground in Europe. Their Estádio da Luz home is one of the most eye-catching arenas in Europe and has hosted the Champions League final. 2 2 It once boasted 120,000 seats but limitations in its current design mean it cannot be expanded beyond a 70,000 capacity. Architects Populous, who designed Wembley and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, have been consulted over an expansion. Benfica currently fill out their 68,100 seats and they plan to add a fourth level to the stadium. Populous have also been brought in to help with designs to build a 10,000-capacity multi-purpose indoor arena. It will contain two indoor sports halls, with capacities of 2,500 and 1,500 respectively, a swimming pool as well as a 500-seat theatre and a rooftop football pitch. A fan plaza with space for 10,000 supporters will be built along with food and drink outlets, as well as shops and restaurants. But some within the club want a return to a 120,000-seat venue, including vice-president Rui Passo. He said: 'We cannot go beyond 70,000 in this stadium, for reasons of safety, comfort and regulation. We have to start thinking about a new stadium. 'There are two sports in which we want to be stronger, women's football and rugby. 'This stadium can be the home of women's football and rugby. I want to dream of crowds of 40, 50 and 60 thousand people watching rugby and women's football matches. We must start dreaming about a new stadium. 'We have full boxes with waiting lists. We have executive seats with waiting lists. We have red pass seats with a huge waiting list. Roughly speaking, it is not difficult to increase the number of red pass seats from 45,000 to 70,000, executive seats from 5,000 to 10,000 and boxes from 150 to 300. 'We have a waiting list to buy these seats (almost 17,000 for the red pass). It is quite possible to start thinking seriously about a project like this.' Former club president Luís Filipe Vieira, who stepped down in 2021 after being arrested on suspicion of a breach of trust against Benfica, also dreams of a 120,000 capacity venue. According to Correio da Manha, Vieira plans to use this idea as a cornerstone of his bid to become club president again in the October elections, and he has already consulted an architect about the plans.
