Josh Ginnelly has scored for Hearts against Celtic, taking the Scottish Cup Final into extra-time.
His time in management is over now I very much doubt he will get another job.
A quality striker indeed. Although he was over 30 when he joined us and past his peak, he would have been a welcome addition to today's team.RIP George Hudson who sadly passed away yesterday.....what a player for Rovers when he teamed up with Yardley....the 2 Georges....just a brilliant combination.
I remember going to the Coventry game, on Hardings coaches . Jimmy Hill was chairman, if I remember well I think it was Maurice Setters the manager,, one of them said the only way Tranmere can get something out of the game is by playing George Hudson, that way there will be a bumper crowd as Hudson was loved when he played for Coventry. Coventry 1-0 up when the ball was crossed for Alan King to score, then the Coventry players were complaining that the ball was out as it was crossed for King to score, as we were leaving the ground at the end of the match, a Coventry supporter came up to us and I will never forget his words, he said, you can have the tie and any of our players, just give us Hudson back. If I remember right the replay was an easy 2-0 win. What a combination Yardley and Hudson, Games like the Coventry games, was what was special about supporting Tranmere.How true BBTC! I think we were both at the FA Cup Coventry away game in early 68 when Alan KIng scored? Rovers won the replay 2-0 with goals from the two Georges! I think I missed the game due to school commitments.
It seemed a long afternoon but was well worth it. The longer the game went on, the more the Sky Blues fans were getting frustrated with their team and eventually we got our desserts. My only regret was that I was at the wrong end for the goal.I remember going to the Coventry game, on Hardings coaches .
