Yes Paul, His distribution was excellent, indeed, a wasted Futcher pass was a collectors item such was the rarity of it happening. Prone to the odd temper tantrum, but a great player for us.
Favourite players to watch rather than a proper XI Glavin Hignett Redfearn McCarthy Joicey Ward Hammill Bullock Steele Barnard
2nd X : Derek Bell Anton Otulakowski David Geddes Anderson Da Silva (edited it, was Eddie Loyden but forgot Anderson!!! Blaming it on my brain injury) Clive Baker Hourihane Allan Clarke Mike Lester Paul Futcher Alistair Millar 11th man : Eddie Loyden (was Graham Pugh, but demoted Loyden - see above)
Favourite players in the years I’ve watched (first game at Oakwell was 1994): Redfearn Hignett Hammill Hourihane Ward Barnard Hassell Steele Kay Scowen But they don’t all get in my ‘best’ XI. Watson De Zeeuw Foster Pinnock Eaden Barnard Andersen Redfearn(c) Hignett Ward Dyer Subs Muller Hassell Sollbauer Stones Hourihane Howard Hammill Winnall Shipperley
In appreciation of Brian Joicey. Am I the only one who's listed him? The single player who transformed Iley's team, remains the only player in over 50 years to hit 30 goals in a season and whose goals turned us from a mid table fourth division outfit to one who challenged for promotion two seasons in a row prior to Allan Clarke joining.
