Fred Jones

South Coast product came up through the Manly juniors and, except for the 1964 season that he spent at Tumbarumba, played his heart out with the Sea Eagles for fourteen seasons. The rugged hooker broke into rep football in 1968, playing for NSW and then Australia in the World Cup, and ended the year with Manly's grand final loss to Souths. In 1970 Jones suffered another grand final defeat before captaining the club to their first premiership title two years later. A diamond in the rough he was a try-scorer in the club’s 19-14 grand final win over Easts in 1972 and was named in Australia's World Cup squad that went to France at the end of the year. After a four-year absence Jones played in all three interstate matches in 1973 and capped a memorable year by leading Manly to a bruising win over Cronulla in the grand final. In 1974 he became the first Manly player to be granted a testimonial season but his career came to a close the following year after budding champion Max Krilich, (whom Jones had kept in reserve grade for many seasons) secured the club's top rake position.
