The winger, who is on loan from Ross County, has created some family history this season.
Jay Henderson admits he has big Somerset shoes to fill - but pledged to make his own black and white headlines.
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. Henderson notched three goals in the League Cup group stage and his creativity from wide has marked him out as a key man for the season ahead. Papa Sanny, who started 376 games in the black and white from 1963-78, enjoyed a 15-year playing career at Ayr after signing as a schoolboy. Renowned as a hard man defender, he admits to the huge feeling of pride at grandson Jay strutting his stuff.
And dad Darren, who was part of the United squad which won the 1996/97 Second Division, reckons his boy is set to flourish after joining Scott Brown's revolution on a 12 month loan from Ross County.
