I don't know, but he was the best left sided player I have ever seen play for stoke.

tremendous player overshadowed a bit by Greenhoff and Hudson,like watching a hot knive going through butter he went past people that easily the best midfield of the 70s Salmons,Hudson,Mahoney and TC or Jimmy Robertson

Hudson and Greenhoff were GODS but one of my faves was John Mahoney vastly underrated IMHO

Salmons better than Hooky on the left?
A good player for certain, but not sure he was as good as Beagrie, let alone Hoekstra.

Didn't he also have quite a long throw. Or is my fading memory playing tricks on me?

He did indeed have a long throw, I remember going to an open day( remember them?) before a season started when I think he tried to get into the guiness book of records, am sure I saw that Ross bloke off the program with a tape measure, or then again , it was along time ago, the mind might be playing tricks?  |

A decent enough player, but I actually thought he was one of the weaker links in our great team. (Nice tash though!) |

Wonder if he is still involved in local (Sheffield) politics? Think he was a council member. If so , maybe he can be encouraged to transfer to Stoke. |

there is no way hooky was better than salmons.
salmons played in a great stoke city side. hooky was very good on his day in the lower divisions.
was anyone there that night at chesterfield when hooky destroyed them in the 2nd half?
