I remember him being an absolute star in the 5 game cup Marathon against Arsenal.

Yes.  He was an important creative player for us during that period.......and I often wonder why this set of games against Arsenal is never mentioned.  It was amazing.  We so nearly beat them, and there were exciting high scoring draws.....until they comfortably beat us in the last match.  But there seems to so little record of it.

I remember him scoring a screaming volley at Millwood to win 2.1. It was on It be the next day and Martin Tyler was the commentator. " comes down...to hornsbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

I'd love to see that goal again

 

Millwood?

 

 

Millmoor perhaps. '79, 2-1 win (Johnson got the other I think)

 

Me and my dad behind the Rotherham goal as it went in. 'Twas the Rotherham end so kept hands in pockets, scarves covered  lol

 

 

In '81 he signed for the famous Edmonton Drillers of the NASL

 

Always remember the poorly educated sports journalist on the telly announcing the signing by saying:

 

"Hornsby was arriving in Edmonton from Sheffield, Wednesday" not realising that he shouldn't have said it with the comma.  Stoopid peasant
