See Joey made the list of top 50 all time Liverpool greats. So satisfying that someone is rewarded for their passion to the cause despite limited ability. Memories are priceless just like Joey's salute. You can have all your superstars but there's only one Joey Jones.

Again Joey Jones has turned up trumps for me, came on October 27th which was a bleak evening to support a Charity night in aid of a lad who is suffering with heart problems. Once again a first class evening, Joey you have got the freedom of Grimsby that I can assure you, spoke to all the pundits could you imagine the present set of players doing thatn in this day and age.

Being from Nottingham my girlfriend has told me the stories of the famous clenched fist salute. Joey was and still is her hero. She attended her first Wrexham match in 1969 at the age of 3. When Joey lived on first ave Gwersyllt it was a great thrill to knock on his door and ask would he come out for a kick about. Joey you are a true gent who has never forgotten his roots!

I have many stories about Joe, all good. But 1 I would like recall is not long after Alan Kennedy joined Liverpool, I was in the car park outside the MAin entrAnce to THE CLUB, when Joe called me and we went into the players lounge to talk. He was not playing that day and was very down. He thought his brother Frank was a better footballer than he was, and he was really depressed. I had to try and buiLd his confidence, by saying that no team could continually carry a player, and he was a member of a very good team that had won the league, unluckily lost the F.A.cup final to 2 fluky goals and won the European Cup all in 1 season 1976-77, and he is still a very good player and could continue to do a good job for Liverpool. We spent some time talking about self confidence, and the ability to play with other great players, and cover any mistakes made by other players, which he had to on a few occasions. Ray Kennedy always said that he knew where Joe was as he was always talking to him and giving him positional advice during the game. A great compliment. I later came to know his Mum and Dad very well. His Dad was a lovely man, and I enjoyed his Mum's company.
Thanks for the pleasure of watching you Joe and all the memories

I played in the same team as Joey at John Bright's. He stood out head and shoulders above everyone on and off the pitch, great player, proud to know him. I remember him showing off his liver bird tattoo at school. That's why he always wore a long sleeved shirt at Chelsea.

Still got the last shirt that Joey played in, in his last match for Huddersfield Town. Joey was a great guy, a true ambassador for the game - fond memories of Joey at Leeds Road.

I remember well playing with and against Joey on the Maesdu Rd pitch, Llandudno. We were both about age 9 or 10 and he was a fanatic even then. We all knew he would make it, he just had what it takes.

My claim to fame is,Joey was in the same class as my sister,I was a couple of years behind them. Anyway i had gone out at lunchtime from school and bought myself an L.F.C sticker for sixpence! Walking into the playground showing off my sticker Joey pinged it, came over and sort of persuaded me to give it him (he was a big lad).
Anyway I'm not bitter...
