William Henry Jones (24 March 1881 – 15 March 1948), also known as Bullet Jones[1] and the Tipton Smasher,[3] was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward for Small Heath (renamed Birmingham in 1905) in the Football League and for Brighton & Hove Albion in the Southern League.

[6] Jones then suffered a series of injuries, the team's form declined, and, believing the player to be past his best, the club, now named Birmingham, released him at the end of the 1908–09 season.

[1][8] Jones again top-scored for Birmingham in 1912–13,[9] bringing his total for the club to 102 goals from 253 appearances in all competitions, before returning to Brighton in the summer.

They trained at the White City in London, were released at weekends to play for their clubs,[11] and Jones finished the season – the last completed before the Football League was suspended for the duration of the First World War – as Albion's top scorer for the third time.

[7] He returned to the club after the war, played his last competitive first-team match in December 1919, at the age of 38 years and 271 days,[12] and continued to appear occasionally for the reserves until as late as 1927.
