The history of clubs in the Football League is a long and fruitful one, with many of the country's oldest plying their trade in its three divisions. 

With that being the case, plenty of fascinating players have passed through the divisions. Some have gone on to cement their position as footballing legends whilst others have taken more modest paths.

Barry Horne is somebody who took the latter option.

Born in St. Asaph in Wales, Horne graduated through the youth ranks at Wrexham where he played in midfield for three years, famously scoring a late goal against Porto to send the North Wales outfit into the second round of the European Cup Winners Cup. They were knocked out by Roma in the next round, but that did little to extinguish his legend.

In 1987 he earned himself a move to Portsmouth where he continued to make a name for himself, turning out 70 times for the south-coast side and scoring seven goals before taking the treacherous route to their arch-rivals Southampton.

He stayed with the Saints for three years, where once again he impressed, making 112 appearances and scoring six goals, continuing to boss the midfield, before earning the biggest move of his career when boyhood club Everton came knocking.

Possibly his most famous moment with the club, aside from winning the 1995 FA Cup, came on the final day of the 1993/94 season when his last-minute screamer against Wimbledon saved the Toffees from the drop.

That was Horne very much at the peak at his powers. He impressed with Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday over the course of the remainder of his career. After a spell with Walsall, the now 56-year-old hung up his boots at Belper Town.

But where is he now?

After a few years of retirement, Horne returned to where it all began, becoming a director of football Wrexham, where he stayed until 2016.

But the most notable of his movements has to be the educational route he has explored, first, earning a first class degree in Chemistry from the University of Liverpool before becoming a Chemistry and Physics teacher at a Chester school in 2014, where he can still be found dishing out detentions.
