Leeds Rhinos appeal for fans' memories of rugby league and Wales rugby union hero Lewis Jones

Jones died last week, aged 92, following a short illness. Signed by Leeds from Welsh rugby union in 1952, he scored 2,920 points - from 144 tries and 1,244 goals - in 385 games until leaving to become player-coach at Australian club Wentworthville in March, 1964. A British Lion in both codes, he is widely regarded as one of British rugby’s finest players.

After returning to Leeds from Australia in the early 1970s, Jones had a spell on the club’s coaching staff and was well-known to generations of school pupils as a maths teacher in the city. Now Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington has urged YEP readers to pen their own tributes to Jones.
