    Was scored by a Barnsley Right Full Back on 3rd. April, 1948, I saw this one and the scorer was Jack Harston, a local lad. Playing against Southampton he booted the ball in line with the Barnsley penalty area, it went very high and as it reached the Southampton goalkeeper, Black, a Scottish International he jumped but couldn't reach it ...goal. Jack was born in Barnsley on 7th. Oct. 1920. Previous club, Wolves.

    Did he have his back to goal when he kicked it and did he fall on his back and then take his shirt off and get booked when he scored ? Think i saw that goal. It was just after i got out of the shower after Bobby Ewing !!

    I scored one like that once. For Hoyland Market Street Juniors, I'd have been about 8 or 9. With my weaker left foot n'all AND on a full size pitch against bigger lads. I just looked up and hit it - I can still see their goalie scampering back in vain, poor bugger didn't stand a chance.
    It was pure instinct, you can't teach that.

    Barnard for me - no contest. Ginola and JCR are not too far off

    Was that the game when Johnnie Kelly turned their right back( Alf Ramsey) inside out. Six weeks later Tottenham had signed Ramsey and Johnnie repeated the treatment. Ramsey went on to be Englands World Cup winning manager. He never picked any wingers because of Kelly.

    Not the memory of Jack Harston that I have! I worked for him as a paper boy when he had the paper shop in Doncaster Road - must have been about 1965-67 sort of time. It was a bleak time be a Barnsley fan, with the Reds backs RIGHT up against the wall of extinction. This was just before the famous Dennis and Buckle take over which saved the club with a paltry investment of £10,000. All of this money went on two forwards and the club's fortunes changed almost overnight. Barrie Thomas and Johnny Evans of course.
    However, before this phoenix like resurrection, Mr Harston used to give me a bit of stick about being a Barnsley fan. I could never understand this as he was an ex-Reds player but he honestly never had a good word to say about the club. He was a big Sheffield Wednesday fan in fact and he said something about one of their players that sticks in the memory. They had a very good player at that time called David Ford and he said that this one player was worth more than the entire Barnsley Football Club put together - ground, players and staff. Ford was an England player if I remember correctly but that wouldn't make him worth more than the entire setup at Oakwell....would it? Mind you, we did have the likes of John Briscoe, Harry Duerden, Alan Hopper and Bob Earnshaw in the team at that time so maybe he had a point :D

    The Sunshine school on West Street was an infants school. A lovely building, I scored some beauties there too!
