Walsall players who played in F A Cup finals

Steve Chettle played in the Gazza final in 1991. He had a fairly forgettable loan spell with us. I think that he played in a thumping at Maine Road, one of the most one sided games I’ve seen us involved in. :grimacing:

Barry Horne won the FA Cup in 1995 with Everton… 6 years later, he played his one and only game for the Saddlers, in a 3-0 win at Northampton.
