Childhood[edit]

There's nothing on his childhood. I would like to see someone add something.

San Jose Earthquakes[edit]

I am very sure I remember a season where Jones played for San Jose during his second or third MLS season, only to return to the Galaxy, but this isn't included. Can anyone verify this, or am I just nuts?

Nope, he spent his entire MLS career w/ LA Galaxy--EricPZ (talk) 15:00, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most Recognisable[edit]

The article says he's instantly recognisable, but doesn't explain why. We need a description of the hair! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rcsey (talk • contribs) 14:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Discrepancies[edit]

There are discrepancies between the main article text and the infobox regarding total number of international caps and goals. Which is correct? The article needs to be uniform. Also, it states that he attended Westlake High School, but does not mention what city or even state this is in. That's an informative detail regarding where he grew up.

This may not be the best source, but I just found an old IronKids Bread card with a picture of him and a short bio on the back. For "Hometown" it lists "Westlake Village, CA", so... - zoa
