Club statement: Garry Jones

Bolton Wanderers saddened to announce the passing of former player Garry Jones

Bolton Wanderers are deeply saddened to announce the passing of former player Garry Jones, aged 65.

Jones made a total of 247 appearances for the club scoring 55 goals between 1968 and 1978.

His most notable moment in a Bolton shirt came in October 1971, when he hit the headlines after netting a hat-trick in a 3-0 League Cup victory over Manchester City in front of over 42,000 at Burnden Park.

Jones also played a key role in helping Bolton to the Third Division championship in the 1972/73 season and was also part of the side that narrowly missed out on promotion to Division One during the 1975/76 campaign.

The thoughts and condolences of everyone at Bolton Wanderers are with Garry’s family and friends at this difficult time.
