I was only starting to grow hairs in unusual places when Rob Jones come about I remember his debut against the Mancs and him being up against Giggs and Rob Jones made that position his own from that game on.Me dad even said to me this lad is going to be a good player.

I think even Giggs himself come out that season and said Rob Jones is the best defender to come up against him

I remember Giggs saying that.

Jones was a quality player, excellent in defence and useful going forward. Had it all as a fullback, very unlucky with injuries though. Would have got a hell of a lot more England caps had it not been for injuries.

Yup, Giggs did say it... Jones, one of my favourite players..never saw a fullback that was so good... someone said arbeloa 10x...i'd say 15x.

Trigger was great and was amazed and shocked when Venables picked neville over him for england - think Evans didnt help him by moving him to left wing back but he still performed to highest level - if it wasnt for injuries he would of been up there with Neal as one of our great right backs

P.S. He made his debut for england in the same match Shearer did against France - remember watching it and Motty saying that is englands new right back for years to come .
