Christopher Martin Nigel "Chris" Jones (born November 19, 1945 in Altrincham, Cheshire, England) is an English former footballer. He now teaches at Tadcaster Grammar School.[citation needed]
[edit]Career
Jones started his professional career with Manchester City in May 1964. Though he played regularly in the reserves, finishing top scorer for three seasons running,[1] he did not make his league debut until December 1966, when he deputised for Mike Summerbee in a match against Nottingham Forest. A week later he scored his first senior goal, against West Bromwich Albion.[2] The following season he made two appearances in Manchester City's 1967–68 League Championship winning side,[3] though his contribution was insufficient to gain a winners' medal. He later had a prosperous career with York City scoring 33 goals in 95 games. He played during York City's greater days playing in Division 2(Championship) and remembers playing in front of overcrowded Bootham Crescent and against late great Bobby Moore and Gordon Banks. [4]
