As a youngster, Mick Jones was an enthusiastic and regular visitor to both Hillsborough and Bramall Lane, watching whichever of the two Sheffield sides happened to be playing at home that week. But it was with the Blades that he made his reputation on the pitch, forming a successful striking partnership with Alan Birchenall.
Mick Jones became the first 6-figure player signed by Leeds, costing £100,000 in summer 1967 - but with his goalscoring record for Sheffield United to back it up, the board agreed to part with what was then a huge amount of money.
He was top scorer in the League as Leeds claimed their first title in 1968, and when Allan Clarke came along to partner him the following season, Leeds seemed to have found the perfect pairing. Jones said: "Allan [Clarke] and I developed a tremendous understanding... I took the knocks and he finished it all off." Many people will remember the 1972 FA Cup Final, when he dislocated his shoulder but insisted on being helped up the steps to receive his winners medal in the Royal Box. Three England caps was a criminally low total for such an accomplished striker, but that was all he got.
