Leeds to honour Mick Jones with heritage cap and lifetime award at Brentford game | OneFootball

Leeds United will honour club great Mick Jones at Elland Road on Saturday night, presenting him with a Lifetime Achievement Award and the first Leeds United Heritage Cap during the Premier League game with Brentford. Supporters have been asked to remain in their seats at half-time to pay tribute.

The club said in a statement that the ceremony will take place on the pitch at the interval, when Jones will be welcomed alongside his family.

Jones, one of Don Revie’s celebrated side, scored the winner in the 1968 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final to deliver the club’s first major European honour.

He helped Leeds win league titles in 1968/69 and 1973/74, finishing as top scorer in both campaigns. His honours also include the Charity Shield in 1969, another Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1971 and the 1972 FA Cup, for which he set up Allan Clarke’s deciding goal.

Between 1967 and 1975 he made 312 appearances for Leeds, scoring 111 goals, and he won three England caps.

The heritage cap forms part of Marching on Forever, the former players association established in late 2025 to recognise past contributors with specially made caps and events. Former defender Tony Dorigo is leading its formation.
