Billy Jones (footballer Born 1987)
Billy Jones (born 24 March 1987) is an English footballer who plays for West Bromwich Albion. Jones started his career at Crewe Alexandra, who are known for their production of good young players, although a majority of them are attacking players.
Jones made his professional debut in October 2003, in Crewe's 3–0 win over Derby County. Since then, Jones had been a regular in Crewe's back-line and, for the 2005–06 season, he played a majority of games in midfield. He later became the club's top goalscorer during the same season. In his fourth year for Crewe, Jones made his 100th league appearance against Millwall.
One of Jones' notable abilities is his influence on the players around him. He is also considered to be a strong tackler and, despite his lack of pace, the English defender makes up for it in his ability to read the game.

“There used to be two kinds of kisses. First when girls were kissed and deserted; second, when they were engaged. Now there’s a third kind, where the man is kissed and deserted. If Mr. Jones of the nineties bragged he’d kissed a girl, everyone knew he was through with her. If Mr. Jones of 1919 brags the same everyone knows it’s because he can’t kiss her any more. Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
““Do not be afraid; for see -I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.””
