Aston Villa career

[edit]

My reference book says that Jones played for Aston Villa in 1885, although he does not show in the Aston Villa player database. There is however a Wally Jones,[1] whose details are very similar; e.g. similar playing career (both played for Walsall Swifts) and position (both defenders). Do you know if there was any connection - they could be brothers, I guess? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked in the book I use and I only see one Jones in the list. "Jones, WA Born Wednesfield, from Walsall TS, joined 1885, retired 1886, 0 League appearances, 2 FA Cup appearances." Don't think that sheds any light on it though. I would suspect that they are the same person going under a pseudonym? Woody (talk) 19:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
