Barrie Spencer Jones (born 10 October, 1941 in Swansea) is a former professional footballer and Wales international.

Career

Jones began his career at his hometown team, Swansea Town. A skillful winger, he soon established himself in the squad and was transferred to Plymouth Argyle in 1964 for £45,000, a club record fee at the time. He spent three years at the club before returning to South Wales to join Cardiff City for £25,000. After joining Cardiff he switched to a more central midfield role and he was ever present during the 1967-68 and 1968-69 seasons.

On 4 October 1969, he suffered a broken leg during a 3-2 defeat at Blackpool. He attempted several comebacks but never fully managed to regain full fitness and moved into non-league football before going into business in the Swansea area.

During his career Jones gained fifteen caps for Wales, making his debut in October 1962 against Scotland.
