James Hernon
Inside-forward (1954-1956)
A slightly-built, creative inside forward who had been the subject of what was, in 1948, a big-money transfer to First Division Bolton Wanderers – in fact two years earlier the fee would have been the highest-ever. Although by no means robust, Jimmy Hernon later adapted to the rigours of the Third Division sufficiently well to accumulate a total of 33 goals in his 134 League appearances for Grimsby Town (under Bill Shankly) and Watford.
