John Owen Jones (July 1871[1] – 23 September 1955) was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward for several clubs in Wales and England, including Bangor City, Crewe Alexandra and Newton Heath.
After three years with Crewe where he played in 54 matches and scored 21 goals,[2] Jones transferred to Chorley, the 1896–97 Lancashire League champions, in September 1897.
[1] Jones made his Newton Heath debut in the first fixture of the 1898–99 season, playing in the centre forward position in a 2–0 away win over Gainsborough Trinity on 3 September 1898.
[1] However, he only made one more appearance for the Heathens, a 5–1 away defeat to Burton Swifts on 1 October 1898, before being suspended by the club for "not obeying orders".
Selected in the Welsh squad for the 1901 British Home Championship, Jones made his Wales debut on 2 March 1901, playing at inside right in a 1–1 draw with Scotland in Wrexham.
