Bio
Recruited from local side Parkside, Tom Jones was a defender who earned his opportunity with Footscray during the club's foundational years in the VFL. Breaking into the senior lineup in 1926, just the Tricolours' second season in the league, he played eight games and kicked one goal as the team fought to establish itself against the competition's powerhouses. A product of the western suburbs district, his top-level career was brief, and he tragically passed away at the young age of 39 in 1944.
