Biography of James Hornby



HERITAGE NO : 594
James Hornby played some 40 matches for the Saints between December 1943 and September 1946. He operated mostly at prop forward but also played in the second row and even at hooker towards the end of his career. James scored a try on his debut against Wigan on Christmas Day 1943. His only other touchdown was against Dewsbury in the following March.

In 1921 we believe that James was living in Silkstone Street, St. Helens. The 1939 Census has him working as a Bottle Sorter in a Glassworks and living in Phythian Street, St Helens. James died in St Helens in November 1992, aged 74.
