dailyrecord.co.ukJay Henderson admits he has big Somerset shoes to fill - but pledged to make his own black and white headlines.The winger has already written his name into club folklore by becoming a third generation United star - following in the footsteps of league winning dad, Darren, and Hall of Falmer papa, Sanny McAnespie.Jay's Premier Sports Cup goal at Stenhousemuir last week made it the first time in club history that three generations have hit the net in United colours.
It's the continuation of a famous legacy down Tryfield Place, but one which new boy Henderson insists he is relishing.He told the Ayrshire Post: "I wouldn't say I feel the pressure of it as such - I have my own standards that I set and the two who've gone before me set really high ones.
