Micky Horswell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Micky Horswill (born March 6, 1953) was a British professional footballer with Sunderland A.F.C. He first linked up with Sunderland when he was 12, starting with twice-weekly coaching and signing apprentice forms at the age of 15.
In 1973, at the age of 19, he appeared in every round of the club's famous FA Cup run, helping Bob Stokoe's men to lift the famous trophy thanks to a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Wembley Stadium.
A versatile midfield ball-winner, Horswill was a valuable link man between defence and attack and, during the 1973 cup run, got the better of more celebrated names such as Colin Bell of Manchester City, Arsenal's Alan Ball and Leeds' Johnny Giles.
