Had a life that went from sleeping in his car and living out of a carrier bag to end up in Hollywood movies.

Much better player than he was ever given credit for. Teams used him as a brute to kick opponents into submission, however he could also play when given the chance.

One of those players that fans of the team he plays for love but opposition fans hate.

One thing Jones truly was, before the film roles, was a genuine hardman. He was hard on the pitch and hard off it and now he plays hardmen in films. Life imitating art imitating life.

From Lock Stock to Gone In 60 Seconds, he has had a lot of moments, but the big moment in his career was on the pitch with a handful of Gazza's balls!

He certainly knew how to live it up, he was a proper, world-class party animal. George Best could have learnt a thing or two about hellraising from him.

Had plenty of skill, but his lifestyle held him back badly.

The fans adored him for his incredible ability and the way he lived the high life with them.

In those days, to have skill like he did, you had to be hard as hell to survive as a flair player. He was a hard man off the pitch too, constantly getting into fights.

He had enough moments to fill a book, which is why one was written about his life. And what a life he lived.
