He fled a scandal. He built a sporting empire. He left behind a legacy-largely forgotten in his homeland.Con Jones born Thomas Shortel was a bookmaker, a fugitive, a family man, and a genius sports promoter who reshaped Canadian soccer and lacrosse in the early 20th century. Leaving Sydney in disgrace after a Melbourne Cup betting scandal, he arrived in Vancouver and reinvented himself as a sporting visionary. Jones introduced professional soccer to British Columbia, built a stadium, and helped forge North America s first international football links. He was bold, brash, and endlessly ambitious.Big Con is a gripping tale of reinvention, scandal, and sporting revolution. It s a vivid portrait of a forgotten trailblazer who played a major role in shaping modern sport and got away with it.A compelling read for sports lovers, historians, and anyone fascinated by the messy intersection of ambition, identity, and redemption.
