Samuel "Sammy" Jones (June 11 1911 – 1993) was an Irish professional footballer. He played as a defender.

Career

Domestic career

Born in Lurgan, Ireland, Jones began his professional career with Lisburn Distillery in his native land. In 1933, he joined Sandy MacFarlane's Blackpool, making his debut on October 21, 1933, in a goalless draw against Oldham Athletic at Bloomfield Road. He made a further 21 appearances during the 1933–34 campaign, scoring one goal.

In 1934–35, he appeared in all but one of Blackpool's league games, scoring one goal in the process.

The following season, 1935–36, in Joe Smith's first season as manager, he made 37 league appearances and scored twice.

Jones was also a regular in the team during Blackpool's successful 1936–37 season, in which they finished runners-up and gained promotion to Division One.

In 1937–38, he shared the number-6 shirt with future club captain Harry Johnston, who began to knock on the door of the first team after a few years in the reserves. Jones made 24 league appearances, and Johnston 20.

In Jones' final season in League football, 1938–39, he made seven league appearances and scored two goals. He played for Blackpool throughout the World War II regional competitions, but retired before football proper resumed in 1946–47.

International career

Jones received four caps for Ireland, during the 1933–34 season, and scored on his debut.

Death

Jones died in his early 80s in 1993.
