    Oh my word that’s desperately sad news. For all of us who have followed the Reds since the 1960s Big Winnie was a proper club legend in every respect. One of my all time favourite players and he did a brilliant job as a coach and interim manager as well,
    An abiding image for me is that embrace between him and Danny on the touch line as we clinched promotion against Bradford. What a wonderful tribute it would be to him if we did it again later this month.

    RIP Eric

    Thoughts with all the family on your loss.

    On a pure footballing level, he will be forever associated with this club as a key part of some of it's greatest successes.

    Rest in peace, Eric.

    So sorry to hear this, he thoroughly deserves the legendary status he’s held in as regards to Barnsley FC, it’s clear from your words how much he was loved by his family. Condolences to you and your family.

    Well what better honour to bestow on him than to put his name at the top of a stand at Oakwell. Preferably the NEW West Stand

    Oh no, that's awful news.

    Big Eric, one of my favourite players, represented his home town club so well both as a player and coach..

    Barnsley through and through. RIP
