    Personally I wouldn't know where to begin as there's more gone by than I can remember but one I do recall vividly for his all action blood, sweat and tears approach is Neil Redfearn.
    Sorry Luca, you are not on my list, even if I had one.

    Good shout, but it’s hard to look much further than Winny. Captain at 19.

    I don't think so. For much of his time at Oakwell, I think it would have been Phil Chambers, Steve Agnew or Stuart Gray.

    Eric Winstanly was great captain as was his predecessor Duncan Sharpe. The only bloke I ever saw who could head a ball further than he could kick it. His defending philosophy was 'they shall not pass'.

    Bahre he did a few 30 mins before getting the hook, very overrated player by the fans IMO but I`ll bet he was very good at keepy uppys.

    All the usual suspects mentioned already.

    Honoury mention for Paul Reid. Captained us to promotion a team on paper that didn't look as good as others, but played as a team. I will also never forget his goal in front of 4,000 for us at Huddersfield in the play offs. Limbs everywhere.

    Mick Mccarthy was a great leader.

    Was Gary Fleming a skipper during his time here?

    Adam Davies.

    Captained us to automatic promotion in an undefeated Oakwell campaign gaining 91 points was it?

    Don't know. Started as right back. But excelled as sweeper. A big favourite of the fans.

    Another vote for Duncan Sharp. If the ball got past him, the man didn't.
    "Gerrim in't wall bottom Dunc!"

    I remember a newspaper report when we'd beaten Darlington (I think it was), when Winnie scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. The report began, "Eric Winstanley, the man they call Mr. Barnsley....". Winnie was a very talented player and a great leader.
