    I don’t recall any comments that echoed an exciting signing at the time. Apart from the odd great strike it wasn’t until Danny Wilson took over that we saw him become the great player he was.

    Do you not remember his season at Oldham? fantastic trademark strike after fantastic trademark strike? Him, Andy Ritchie and Ian Marshall banging goals in? Maybe it was just me who couldn't believe we'd signed the best player in the Championship for less than £200k.

    That's exactly how I and all my friends viewed his signing. Then Mel Machin decided to play him as a defensive midfielder!

    Oh yes, I remember him at Oldham, all I am saying is I can’t remember it being an eye-opening signing as such. However, that’s not to say that the years that have since passed may have clouded my memory somewhat

    Well I know I couldn't believe he'd come to us at the time... then as BigLil mentioned, that Machin then decided to have him as a defensive midfielder was baffling! Imagine how many more goals he might have got had we played him in his natural position.

    Mega brain fart. I'm sure I have recollections of him playing for us.

    We were linked with him I believe.

    Think Southampton were offering cash plus Palmer for Barnard but Barnard stayed here and signed a new deal.

    And on the day he signed it, he celebrated by scoring THAT goal, if I remember correctly.

    Loved it when Molby signed. Guy was like Stairfoot roundabout but he was classy.

    It might be an age thing but I think that’s right. There’s almost pre-AC and post-AC Barnsley. His signing was unlike anything we’d seen before.
