Cymru captain Ben Davies said: “It is fantastic that Cliff Jones is being recognised for his incredible contribution to both club and international football. He is recognised as one of the true greats of the game at both Swansea and Tottenham and of course with Wales whom he represented at the 1958 World Cup. “I was lucky enough to meet him when I first arrived at Spurs, where I forged a close bond with him and his wife, who often had me round to the house, and I’d hear amazing stories about his life and football career. “To have him present me with my 100th cap was an absolute honour. I am so proud that he has been recognised with an MBE. Congratulations. Llongyfarchiadau.”
