Leeds United hero Mick Jones will become the first ever former Whites player to be handed a club heritage cap, during Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Brentford.
Jones, who scored 111 goals in 312 appearances between 1967 and 1975, is being recognised with a lifetime achievement award and, as part of a new initiative, will become the first recipient of a Leeds heritage cap during the half-time break.
Marching On Forever, the club’s former players’ association that was formed just before Christmas, will start issuing specially-made legacy caps to the greats of yesteryear, beginning with Jones this weekend.
