Date published: 15 April 2009


Rochdale's ladder-toting window cleaner Steve 'Moggy' Murray raised nearly £300 for Hornets on a sponsored walk between Rochdale and Swinton.

Moggy, famous for carrying his ladder on charity walks all over the country, stepped up to the plate once again as he walked to Hornets game against Swinton in the Carnegie Challenge Cup.

The game brought a memorable victory for Hornets, while Moggy raised some much needed funds for the new club and did a lap of honour at the ground to top up the coffers.
Moggy took up his famous ladder again on Good Friday, walking from the Tanners Arms on Whitworth Road to Spotland for Hornets derby match against Oldham to raise further funds.
