    Bob Knobhardcastle signed 29th February 1919. Injured falling up the stairs looking for ‘2 bites of cellar door and a bite o’sneck’. Broke down in training on his return in 1921 having developed a cocaine habit which resulted in pioneering nose replacement therapy. Returning like a new man in late 1924 he got a split nail in the reserves v Melchester Rovers. Finally making his debut v Real Madrid in the 1930 Champions League final he lasted 11 minutes before losing both legs as a seagull swooped down and savaged him. This led to his early retirement where he lived out his days as a publican/ porn star.

    I thought this was a wind up, but just looked in my 'Whose Who Of Barnsley' and he's in, Robert Ernest Knobhardcastle.

    That was just one injury wasn't it?

    I'll go with Brian "sick-note" McCord.

    I'd say Steve Davies. Mad Mel bought him in the summer of 1991. He was a fantastic player, with us 7 years, but only made just over 100 appearances. We've bought players injured who never really got over their injuries but Steve just kept getting injured over and over again.

    It’s why he kept getting injured. He kept tripping over his fandangle. But yes he went on to be landlord at the Dockers Fists in Hull for several years before having his own TVSeries ‘Keeping Up with the Knobhardcastles’.

    He was excellent when we had him on loan (from Derby I think) but always seemed to be on the treatment table after he signed a permanent deal. I remember an issue of South Riding which had a brilliant piece about Brian and his unfortunate injuries...

    John Dennis was of the opinion that McCord simply didn't like playing football...

    Didn't he get his leg broken the season he went up to the prem or was that the season before?
