Playing career

In 1958, Horobin transferred to Notts County, where he made 123 appearances (37 goals) between then and 1962. He then moved on again to Peterborough United where he scored 20 goals in 80 appearances over the next two seasons. On 2 July 1964[1] Horobin signed for Crystal Palace but after only four League appearances (plus 3 in the FA Cup)[1] moved into non-league football with Weymouth in 1965.[1]
