Wales football legend Joey Jones dies as tributes pour in for Liverpool and Wrexham icon
The football world is mourning the loss of Liverpool and Wrexham icon Joey Jones, who has died at the age of 70. Tributes are pouring in for the Welsh legend, famed for his iconic clenched fist salute and a memorable banner that captured the hearts of Liverpool fans. John Aldridge, a fellow Reds hero, expressed his sorrow on X this morning, posting: "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 Joey's family! I'm a lucky man to have met him many times. YNWA RIP topman." Former Chelsea and Huddersfield ace Jones, known for his robust defensive play, began his illustrious career at Wrexham, where he made his first appearance at the age of 17. He later fulfilled a childhood dream by joining Liverpool in 1975 after Bob Paisley, the Anfield legend, secured his transfer for approximately £110,000. He etched his name into history as the first Welsh player to win a European Cup winners medal when Liverpool clinched the title in 1977, overcoming Borussia Monchengladbach 3–1. The victory followed wins against Saint-Etienne in the quarter-finals and Zurich in the semi-finals. A special banner displayed by Liverpool supporters during the European Cup final in Rome celebrated Jones' contributions: 'Joey Ate The Frogs Legs, Made The Swiss Roll, Now He's Munching Gladbach'. The banner has become a part of Liverpool folklore and is widely regarded as the most iconic in the Reds' history. The cult hero, who was often greeted with the renowned 'oh Joey, Joey' chant from the Kop, made exactly 100 appearances for the Merseyside giants, during which he also clinched the First Division and UEFA Cup. In 1978, Jones returned to Wrexham in a club record deal worth £210,000 – a record that remained unbroken until the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney takeover led to the £300,000 signing of Ollie Palmer in January 2022. Jones transferred to Chelsea in 1982 and played a crucial role in the team that stormed to the Second Division title in the 1983/84 season. He stayed in the top flight with the Blues before moving to Huddersfield Town in 1985, where he was named their player of the year in his debut season. Jones then made a third return to Wrexham, bringing his total appearances for the club to 479 before finally retiring after the 1991–92 season. Having earned 72 caps for Wales, Jones later worked as an Under 18s and reserve team coach at Wrexham, even briefly serving as caretaker manager between the departure of Brian Flynn and Denis Smith in 2001. Dubbed Wrexham's 'Ultimate Cult Hero' by the BBC, Jones scaled back his duties at the club following heart surgery in 2002, but continued to mentor emerging talents and returned to the Red Dragons as a youth team ambassador in 2021. The Wrexham supporter podcast Fearless in Devotion paid tribute on X, writing: "Sleep well Joey Jones. A giant on the pitch, a gentleman off it. The defiant fist salute when we sang your name, the full-blooded challenges, the cheeky smile when you got away with one. The football world has lost a true legend. We will carry your name forevermore." Liverpool fan channel The Redmen TV honoured Jones by posting an image of him alongside the famous banner on X, commenting: "Joey Jones won two European Cups with The Reds, as well as the league, UEFA Cup and Super Cup! Rest In Peace. You'll Never Walk Alone." A Liverpool supporter expressed their condolences: "RIP Joey Jones. Absolute Liverpool FC legend and subject of the greatest banner ever seen in a football ground." Another fan shared their sorrow: "Saddened to hear of the passing of another Reds legend. The fan on the pitch who lived and played out all our dreams. His clenched fist as he ran towards the Kop before every game will never be forgotten. RIP Joey Jones." Ex-Wrexham forward Jonny Taylor reflected: "I was lucky enough to have played for you and also to know you as a person and I'll be forever grateful of that! Grown up watching you raise your fist to us week in week out on the kop, your passion for Wrexham was special! A true legend! Love you Joey." Thomas Wynne Lewis, presenter of Men in Blazers' This Week in Wrexham, shared his thoughts: "Joey Jones. The quintessential Wrexham legend. I was lucky enough to know him reasonably well and he was genuinely the nicest man you could ever meet. "This is absolutely heartbreaking news. An absolute giant of the game and a Welsh icon. RIP Joey. We will always love you." Another Wrexham supporter stated: "When someone passes away, people often overstate their legacy, but not with Joey Jones. He didn't just wear the Wrexham shirt, he lived it. Genuine, humble, heroic. Mr Wrexham. We'll never see another like him."

Barcelona fans welcome Rashford with incredible mural – how does it compare to other iconic paintings of footballers?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BARCELONA supporters have gone absolutely Diego Maradona for Marcus Rashford after unleashing a jaw-dropping mural for their new signing. The incredible artwork on the streets of Catalonia has the England star, 27, pulling off his trademark 'temple point' celebration while sliding on his knees. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 14 Marcus Rashford has been immortalised in a mural on the streets of Barcelona Credit: @mikinoelle 14 Rashford spent the summer working in anticipation of a move away from Man Utd Credit: Instagram @MarcusRashford 14 Rashford arrived in Barcelona over the weekend to complete his medical Credit: INSTAGRAM 14 Rashford will only be the second Englishman to play for Barcelona after Gary Lineker It's an epic welcoming message for Rash as he nears his stunning loan switch to the club. Barcelona have agreed in principle to a season-long loan covering his entire £325,000-a-week wage and have a £26million option to buy next summer if all goes to plan. Rashford touched down in Barcelona over the weekend to undergo a medical and his unveiling is expected on Wednesday. The mural comes as a loud and clear message that Barca fans are excited for their new star to make his debut. Deals for first-choice targets Nico Williams and Luis Diaz fell through but Hansi Flick backed Rashford as the perfect Plan C pick. Despite his turbulent season at United, Rashford has reportedly accepted a significant pay cut although Barca will still foot the full original bill. It marks a huge moment as Rashford will become the first Englishman at the Camp Nou since Gary Lineker. Manchester United legend Mark Hughes also played there but he is Welsh, so that leaves Rashford with huge boots to fill. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Flick sees him as vital depth on the left, plugging a gap in Barca's attack and competing with the likes of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. There's optimism the move could spark the career revival Rashford so desperately needs and if he impresses, the £26m buy‑option will likely be triggered. Man Utd's Marcus Rashford 'may not be able to play for Barcelona due to registration issues' He's also looking to return to the England team and play at next year's World Cup, so his motivatyion is very high. And his iconic mural welcome would certainly make him feel at home.
