Timeline

1949

Brian "Nobby" Horton (born 4 February 1949) is an English former footballer and manager.

He spent 16 years as a professional player and 22 years as a manager, making 689 appearances and managing 1,098 matches.

In addition to this he spent four years as a semi-professional player and around 11 years as a coach and assistant manager.

1966

Horton played at wing-half, though was forced to find employment as a builder after being released from Walsall's youth team in 1966.

1970

He joined Hednesford Town in the West Midlands (Regional) League, winning the Staffordshire Senior Cup in his final appearance for the club in 1970.

He turned professional in signing with Port Vale of the English Football League in July 1970.

Horton returned to the Football League at the age of 21 when he signed for newly-promoted Third Division club Port Vale in July 1970.

It was reported that his transfer fee was a pint of shandy, as Vale were struggling financially and simply haggled with the Hednesford Town chairman by plying him with alcohol, therefore his transfer fee was 'a pint of shandy'.

In fact Port Vale agreed to play a pre-season friendly with Hednesford and allowed them to keep all the gate receipt money from the match.

Horton had been earning £7-a-week at Hednesford, rising to £20 with win bonuses, supplemented by a £20-a-week income from building work, and so actually took a significant pay cut to turn professional at Port Vale on wages of £23-a-week.

A first team regular from the start under manager Gordon Lee, Horton played 40 games in the 1970–71 season, and scored his first competitive goal in a 3–2 win against Bury at Gigg Lane.
