For 'Meritorious Service to Athletics in Wales 1954' and acknowledging 2nd in 2220 yards at 'Athletics Match Great Britain v France, London August 1st 1949'Provenance: private collection Monmouthshire, consigned by Ken Jones' nephewAuctioneers note: Ken Jones will forever be remembered as the man who scored the vital try that helped Wales to beat New Zealand at Cardiff Arms Park in 1953 - the last time Wales beat the All Blacks. The flying Newport winger latched on to a cross-kick from Clem Thomas with five minutes left to play and transformed an 8-8 draw into a famous 13-8 Welsh victory. Yet there were many more golden moments in one of the greatest British sporting careers of the past 60 years. Unquestionably Wales's greatest all-rounder, Jones was often asked to name his finest achievement. It was a task he warmed to, had to take his time over, but he always came up with the same answer. Was it that try against the All Blacks in 1953, or the near length-of-the-field score against New Zealand for the British and Irish Lions in 1950 - still recalled as one of the greatest tries ever scored at Auckland's Eden Park? It could have been any of the eight tries he scored to help Wales win Grand Slams in 1950 and 1952. In fact, he could have picked any one of the record-equalling 17 Welsh tries he scored in a then-world-record 44 appearances for his country between 1947 and 1957. And there were countless heroic deeds for his club in a 293-match career that included 145 tries and two seasons as captain. It was not, however, his rugby achievements that received top billing from the man himself, but his exploits on the athletics track. He had started out as the All-India sprint champion during the Second World War and graduated to become the captain of the British track and field team at the 1954 European Championships, where he won a silver medal in the sprint relay. He was a bronze medallist at the 1954 Commonwealth Games over 2,300 metres for Wales and the proud owner of four Welsh sprint record and 17 domestic titles. The ultimate thrill was competing at an Olympic Games. "When I think back on my career as both a rugby player and an athlete, I would have to pick the 1948 Olympic Games as the highlight," said Jones: Reaching the semi-finals of the 100 metres, and being among the 12 fastest men in the world, as well as winning a silver medal in the relay, has to top the lot. At first, Jones and his team mates Alistair McCorquodale, John Gregory and John Archer were presented with the gold medal, despite finishing behind the American quartet. The United States team finished six yards ahead of the home team - 40.6sec to 41.3sec - but were disqualified for allegedly running out of the change-over box on the first baton-change between Barney Ewell and Lorenzo Wright. Wembley Stadium was the home of athletics at the London Games of 1948. "It was fascinating being able to run there - the atmosphere was electric and it was a bit scary initially," Jones said: To be elevated into first place was a marvellous bonus. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few days. The Americans appealed and three days later a jury of appeal viewed films of the race and ruled the change-over was legal. We were called back to Wembley from our Uxbridge camp and asked to hand back our gold medals. It took almost a month for us to have our silver medals sent to us. Even so, coming through two rounds of the 100 metres and reaching the semi-final gave me just as much of a thrill.Born in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire, in 1921 and a product of West Mon Grammar School, Ken Jones spent most of his working life as a teacher at Newport High School. During the war he served in India as a sergeant in the RAF, and it was a victory over 100 yards at the All-Indian Olympic Games at Christmas 1945 that kick-started his athletics career. The following year he won the Welsh 100m and 200m crowns for the first time - titles he would go on to win every year up to 1954, except 1950, when he was on tour in New Zealand with the Lions. "Those victories in 1946 got me selected for the British team to run in Oslo and Cologne and that really was my big breakthrough," Jones recalled. "I got picked as an Olympic possible."Ken Jones also reported on rugby and athletics in Wales for the Sunday Express from 1958 until 1985, he became President of Newport Athletic Club, which incorporates Newport Rugby Club, but resigned in 1995, having served the club for almost 50 years. "I cannot accept or live with the professionalism in rugby now," he said:Condition: viewing advised, vests commensurate with age, staining, sun fading, Olympic Vest has foxing, and a hole above waist level (please see images)

He played representative level rugby union for Wales, and at club level for Neath RFC, Maesteg RFC, Cardiff RFC, Glamorgan Police RFC and Glamorgan County RFC, as a lock, i.e. number 4 or 5, and representative level rugby league (RL) for Wales, and at club level for Wigan and Keighley as a prop, or second-row, i.e. number 8 or 10, or, 11 or 12, during the era of contested scrums. Born in Ogmore Vale, Wales, he and his wife; Ida were the landlord, and landlady of The Goat public house in Steeton, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, and he died aged 47 in Staincliffe, Batley, West Riding of Yorkshire. Jones made his début for Wigan in the 7–8 defeat by Leigh at Mather Lane (adjacent to the Bridgewater Canal), Leigh on Saturday 31 August 1929, he scored his first try for Wigan in the 23–6 victory over Wakefield Trinity at Central Park, Wigan on Wednesday 1 January 1930, he scored his last try for Wigan in the 15–8 victory over Widnes at Naughton Park, Widnes on Saturday 4 March 1933, he played his last match for Wigan in the 10–11 defeat by Halifax at Thrum Hall, Halifax on Saturday 11 November 1933.[5] and played right-prop, i.e. number 10, in Keighley's 5–18 defeat by Widnes in the 1937 Challenge Cup Final during the 1936-37 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 8 May 1937, in front of a crowd of 47,699. He won caps for Wales (RU) while at Neath RFC in 1929 against England, and Scotland. Jones also won three caps for Wales Rugby League in 1935–1936.It was while at Keighley that Harold Jones was selected for Great Britain was issued this jersey for the 1936 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand in which he played in some of the games against representative sides. The tour took place between May and August and involved 24 games, 16 in Australia and the last eight in New Zealand, with five Tests: three vs Australia and two against the Kiwis. The tourists travelled to Australia by boat, the SS Cathay which was later used as an armoured merchant cruiser during World War II.The team docked at Melbourne on the May 25 and travelled to Sydney by train the following day. There was much fanfare around the first Test on June 29, with interest being so high that it only took 30 minutes after the gates opened at 9am at the Sydney Cricket Ground for the stadium to fill. The kick-off was not until 3.00pm! The Test was notable for being the first time the Courtney Goodwill Trophy was awarded in international competition to promote goodwill between the Test-playing nations. Near to reaching half-time, Australian prop Ray Stehr started a fight with his opposite number, Nat Silcock of Widnes, who was later described by a British journalists as “one of the toughest and best forwards ever to wear the red, white and blue” Despite Silcock’s efforts, the Lions lost the game 24-8.For the second Test played at Brisbane played just six days later, Australia were fired up for the challenge of winning back the Ashes for the first time since 1920. However, through the sheer power of second row Martin Hodgson, centre Gus Risman and Alan Edwards, the Lions roared back to level the series with a 12-7 victory. Edwards, a Welsh winger with Salford, made a big impression on Australia’s Vic Hey, who would go on to enjoy success in England at Leeds. “Of the moderns, the men I saw in England during the last Kangaroo tour (1933-34) and those with the present team, this lad is the daddy of the lot. The instantaneous pace he makes is amazing, and how he can fool ’em with the variety of his attacks!” During the third Test at the SCG on July 18, Ray Stehr provoked another fight, this time involving Warrington prop Jack Arkwright. This resulted in Stehr receiving a three-match ban and Arkwright games being suspended until July 31. A 12-7 victory saw the Lions take the series and retain the Ashes before going on to New Zealand where they won all eight games, including a 10-8 and 23-11 successes in two Tests played at Carlaw Park.For the second Test played at Brisbane played just six days later, Australia were fired up for the challenge of winning back the Ashes for the first time since 1920.
