Lewis Jones, one of the most revered players in the history of Leeds, has died.
Captain of their first ever Championship winning side, Jones "came North" after a career in rugby union which saw him earn caps for Wales and the British Lions, becoming a dual-code Lion in his storied time in Rugby League.
Inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2013, and in the inaugural class of the Leeds RLFC one, Phil Caplan told us more about the life of the man known as "The Golden Boy."

Can certainly remember him playing when I was a lad. Legend.

He was a bit of a rugby prodigy in South Wales, I believe the australians who played alongside Lewis at leeds rated him highly.

£6,000 would have bought you FOUR houses in Leeds in 1952, substantial 3-4 bedroom semis, too. Even ten years later you'd still probably have had change out of £6,000 for three houses.

Would Leeds have been better off trying to buy those houses behind the Western Terrace? 😀

@@Forty20TV Ha! We wouldn't have been better off without Lewis Jones, but I'm sure those houses could have been bought for his signing fee in 1952. I can't say how things were in 1952, but in 1960 as many as turned up were just jammed into Headingley, packed tight as that season progressed, and nobody complained. The Eastern Terrace was open to the elements then, too, and for many years afterwards.
