On a slightly different Jones topic - I was 'lucky' enough to live in Somerset 15 years ago and got to see him play many times for Yeovil (with Chris Cohen) - so have probably seen him play many times more than any other Saints fan. In the 2006/7 season, under the management of Russell Slade, the football was absolutely dire and epitomised by Jones bombing up to the halfway line (he was always very quick and ridiculously fit) and launching the ball repeatedly towards the edge of the box. Here, sole striker 5'8" Paul Warne (now manager of Derby Co.) would inevitably lose the ball and the process would be repeated. It was truly awful to watch, but, in came Leon Best on loan (10 goals in 15 games) and Lee Morris had a lengthy period of being fit, somehow YT ended up in the play-offs (the 5-2 win at Forest is worth watching on YouTube and probably one of the best games I have ever seen). They went on to lose 2-0 against Blackpool at Wembley.
It does make me wonder how much wonder how much the 'success' of this period has shaped his mindset towards the game.
