Horner adds experience
Billy Horner made a move in the transfer market in December 1976 when he added defender/midfielder Chris Simpkin to his struggling Pools squad. Simpkin, a veteran of over 300 games for Hull City, joined the club from Huddersfield and stayed at the Vic for around a year, making 49 appearances before moving to Scarborough.
