Thomas Jones (1885 – after 1912) was an English professional footballer who made 46 appearances in the Football League playing for Everton and Birmingham.[1] He played as a forward.
Jones was born in Prescot, Lancashire. He began his football career with Bootle before joining Everton of the Football League First Division in 1905.[2] He scored on his Everton debut, on 14 April 1906 in a 2–1 defeat of Derby County,[3] [4] but found his progress blocked by the prolific Sandy Young, and over the next four years Jones played only 14 more league games.[3] He dropped down a division to join Birmingham in September 1910.[2] He made a promising start to his first season with the club, and when Jack Hall arrived in December the pair formed a fine understanding. Injury disrupted Jones's 1911–12 season, in which he played only three times for the first team, and in 1912 he returned to Lancashire to join Southport Central.[2] [5]
