Thomas Edwin Jones (11 April 1930 – 5 June 2010), known as Tommy E Jones or T. E. Jones to distinguish him from T. G. Jones, was an English footballer who played for Everton from 1950 until 1961.^[2]

Jones signed for Everton straight from school^[3] and turned professional in 1948.^[4] He began his Everton career as a full back, but moved to centre half to replace T. G. Jones in the 1950–51 season,^[3][5] making his debut against Arsenal on 6 September 1950.^[6] Jones established himself as a "model of consistency", a "most reliable and unruffled" defender,^[4] and in 1957 he took over the Goodison captaincy,^[5] succeeding Peter Farrell who had left the club. He returned to left-back towards the end of his career, replaced at centre-half by a young Brian Labone.^[3] He was forced to retire due to a shattered kneecap, having scored 14 goals from 411 appearances during an 11-year senior career with Everton.^[5] In 1963, he signed with Toronto Italia of the Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League as a player-coach.^[7] He spent a spell with Colwyn Bay which included a stint as player-manager.

Jones never played full international football,^[4] but was part of the Football Association's team that toured Nigeria and Ghana in 1958.^[8] He was a member of the England Youth team that beat Scotland Youth 4–2 in October 1947 in a match played at Belle Vue, Doncaster.

After retiring from football, Jones worked for Littlewoods in Liverpool.^[5]
