Former Liverpool and Wrexham player Joey Jones has passed away at the age of 70.

The full-back, who also turned out for Chelsea and Huddersfield, won 72 caps for Wales between 1975 and 1986.

He won the European Cup with Liverpool in back-to-back seasons in the 1970s, becoming the first Welshman to do so.

Fellow Liverpool legend tweeted John Aldridge wrote on X: "More sad news folks Joey Jones passed away last night.

YNWA RIP topman."

Jones started his career with Wrexham, where he caught the eye of legendary Liverpool manager Bob Paisley.

The Reds paid Wrexham £110,000 for his services in 1975 and he quickly established himself in the side.

In 1977 he became the first Welshman to receive a European Cup winners medal when Liverpool beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3–1 in the final.
