Michael Brown must be the last Brown to play for us. Who were the last Smith and Jones to play for us?

Smith - Grant Smith in 2002-3. Last scoring Smith was Martin in 1999-2000.

Jones - Vinnie in 1991-2, though he only scored in 1990-1.

All the Joneses scored for us. There are a number of non scoring Smiths.
