Talk:Alf Jones (footballer, born 1861)

Aston Villa career
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, 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)

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)
