Which players....

Brendan O'Connell.

Nobody else has come close. He just epitomised everything I love in a player. Heart on his sleeve, ran himself into the ground, never shirked a challenge or doubted himself. He also scored quite regular, and celebrated them like each was his first or last goal he'd ever score. Pure passion. He did that running celebration where he'd pull up the shirt and kiss the badge. How could I not love that?
And as a young un growing up I used to hear him get stick every game which I never understood and I think that made me love him even more. It was similar with Eaden soon afterwards. I always like an underdog.

The only player since to get near him for providing similar emotions would be Adam Hammill.

 

I loved Pat Howard and Eric Winstanley.
Fantastic players who always gave their all.
I was heartbroken when we sold Pat Howard to Newcastle.
He's still one of my Barnsley FC heroes.

 

Yes - mine was Bob Earnshaw.
Also Barrie Thomas
Barrie career stats:
Played 338 games
Scored 211 goals

 

Arthur Kaye and Frank Bartlett, both wingers in the 1954/5 promotion team, plus, of course, Duncan Sharp.

 

i first went to Oakwell in 67, but it was 68/69 season that cemented my love of Barnsley FC. Arblaster, Murphy, Booth, Winstanley, Howard, Bettany, Boardman, Loyden, Dean,Hamstead,Evans, all heroes at the time, then Bobby Doyle, Ali Millar, Mick Pickering, Chambers, Macca, Butler, Saunders, Joicey etc. Then came the greatest player i have ever seen in a Red shirt, God himself Ronnie Glavin, that side he was in were the best side I have seen, but Glavin himself was just another class.
