Great story Tony about Bernie Jones of whom I was a great admirer having seen him play many games in the 70s. Love your writing and recounting of tales whether footy or soccer related. Just finished 1989.

Gee, I've stumbled across this today. I was searching for any trace of Bernie Jones. I worked for Bernie and his then partner Jayne Ellis in the 90's. It's a sad day that I have discovered both these great people have passed away. Everything that is said about Bernie being the friendliest, most lovable and affable person is true. He was a wonderful man, kind, generous, funny....so funny.

As a supporter of the great club, I loved Bernie Jones. He always gave 110 percent and kept you on edge when kicking for goal. Thanks for the memories. A champion in life!!
