John Horne (footballer)

John Kay Horne (17 January 1862 – 30 October 1926), or Johnny Horne, was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Accrington (in six different spells), Windsor, Grimsby Town, Bury, Burslem Port Vale, Blackburn Rovers, Notts County, Burton Swifts, and Darwen.

He put his business interests ahead of football and left Accrington for Windsor, Grimsby Town, and Bury before he joined Burslem Port Vale in May 1886.

[3] He made his debut for the club in the final of the North Staffordshire Charity Challenge Cup on 22 May, which ended in a 1–0 defeat to nearby Stoke.

Preston North End played 27 League and FA Cup matches in the 1988–89 season, and their visit to Accrington was the only time they failed to score a goal.

[1] He featured in just five competitive matches during the 1989–90 season, though one of these games was the 1890 FA Cup final, a comprehensive 6–1 victory over The Wednesday at Kennington Oval.
