The former Leeds striker met the Queen in strange circumstances

One of the teams that dominated the 1960s and '70s, Leeds United's great style of football culminated in a 1972 FA Cup Final victory.

"I've been asked about it so many times, I did it in the very last minute and I just can't describe the pain," said Mick. When meeting the Queen, Jones remembered how teammate and centre-back Norman Hunter held him up the steps but he was in so much pain that he could hardly move.
