Leeds Rhinos legend Lewis Jones celebrates 90th birthday
Jones, known in his playing days as the Golden Boy, scored what was at the time a club record 2,920 points for Leeds from 1952-64.
Only Kevin Sinfield has beaten that total.
He played in their 1957 Wembley Cup-winning side and also the first Leeds team to win the Championship, four years later.
