    History shows the Reds lost 1-0 at home to Cardiff on 26th September 1981. But I was at another match. (Lady Kaht, as she became, was there too!) :):):)

    Left school and started Willowgarth 6th Form (so I didn't leave school at all!). Saw the Reds get promoted after what I still consider my favourite season ever under Norman Hunter.

    On the 28th of April 1981 we beat Rotherham at home 1-0 courtesy of a Ronnie Glavin goal to clinch promotion to Division 2 ( Today’s Championship) Boy I partied all that night and all the weekend as it was my 21st Birthday on the 29th.

    That was my second year working for Pye Unicam in Cambridge, I passed my driving test just after New Year and my first trip was to Middlesbrough (via Bolton on Dearne to pick my dad up) for the FA Cup match which we lost 2-1 despite dominating the game against the1st Division side.

    Left Wuzbrer High, best school by far btw....
    Music, territorial conflict, shagging, and then there was my beloved Barnsley FC.
    Jesus Christ! Seriously!?
    Best time ever being a Tarn fan, bar none!
    Especially if you was brought up in the "Iley Out" years :)
