    Question , did Alan once get sent off for kicking his opposite number in the air instead of the ball at a drop ball ?
    Or is it just folk lore ?

    One of Barnsleys 'hard men' came from Barnsley District but didn't actually play for Barnsley.

    He was known as Norman "bites yer legs." There was once a story doing the rounds that during a televised match against Spurs at a misty Elland Road he emerged from the gloom with the ball. The first commentator said "Here comes Hunter, what a great left leg he's got" and the second one replied "Yeah I think its Greavsie's"

    Not trying to pull you down Homer or owt like that but Derek Dooley never got his leg broke with Eddie McMorran at Oakwell
    Derek Dooley had his leg broke at Preston in a coalition with the goalkeeper later having to have his leg amputated once read about it 1952 I think if my memory serves me correctly.

    Good call. Didn't Denis Mortimer try and sue him after Wylde left part of his elbow in his mouth?

    Pugh and Little were the hardest central midfield pairing I've ever seen.

    Despite his floppy hair, I don't think Ashley Ward was no fairy cake neither. He had no bother taking on Andy Todd that time it kicked off in our dugout against Bolton in the cup. 1-0 us, a little low pearler from Dazza Barnard if I remember reight.. Went on to dump Spurs and Man U out that year too...:)

    Morgan was hard, but I'm glad he hasn't much of a mention. Bugger... o_O
