Thomas George Jones (12 October 1917 – 3 January 2004) was a Welsh footballer most notable for his career with Everton and Wales.
[4] He won a Football League First Division champions medal in only his second full season at Everton in 1938–39, before his career was interrupted by the Second World War.
A club director falsely accused Jones of feigning injury in a wartime match and his senior appearances thereafter were sporadic.
Once the relations with the manager Cliff Britton became so bad that he was even not picked for the reserve team, and played secretly for Hawarden Grammar Old Boys.
After Jones left Everton he played non-league football for Pwllheli and became their part-time manager, as well as running a hotel in the town.
Stanley Matthews, Tommy Lawton, Joe Mercer and Dixie Dean each cited Jones as the greatest player that they ever saw.
In addition to his playing career, Tommy was instrumental in re-establishing senior football in his home town after the collapse of Connah's Quay and Shotton United in 1927, just six months after they had won the Welsh Cup and beating the previous season's FA Cup winners Cardiff City in the final.
