Connelly to make draw

Connelly didn't play for Arsenal, in fact he played all of his career in the north west, but there is certainly a link when you look back at our Championship season of 1959/60.

In December of 1959 we trailed 2-0 at half time at Highbury in our league clash but pulled one back with a Jimmy Adamson penalty. We went on to win it 4-2 with Connelly grabbing a hat trick with three goals in a quarter of an hour towards the end of the game.

In the return at the Turf in March we won 3-2 and he got our third, and ultimately the winning goal.

Hopefully, back on the Turf Moor pitch tonight, he'll inspire us to another victory over the Gunners.
