[4] He began his Everton career as a full back, but moved to centre half to replace T. G. Jones in the 1950–51 season,[3][5] making his debut against Arsenal on 6 September 1950.[6] Jones established himself as a "model of consistency", a "most reliable and unruffled" defender,[4] and in 1957 he took over the Goodison captaincy,[5] succeeding Peter Farrell who had left the club.[3] He was forced to retire due to a shattered kneecap, having scored 14 goals from 411 appearances during an 11-year senior career with Everton.[5] In 1963, he signed with Toronto Italia of the Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League as a player-coach.This biographical article related to association football in England, about a defender born in the 1930s, is a stub.
