About the book
Ken Jones was a former British Lions, Wales and Newport wing, as well as a sprinter good enough to win an Olympic silver medal - making him one of Wales' all-time great sports stars. He won 44 caps for Wales and scored 17 tries. He also played three tests for the Lions during the 1950 tour to New Zealand. An all-round athlete, Jones represented Britain at the 1948 Olympics in London, taking silver in the 4x100m relay. Awarded the OBE in 1960, Jones was a sporting legend the likes of which will never be seen again. This is his story.
