    Norman Hunter / Ronnie Glavin as I approached teens, though it was supposedly uncool to have heroes at that age. They were.

    In 1970 I think, along with loads of other lads my age, myself and a couple of teammates from school was invited to attend coaching sessions on kendray playing fields. I think it went on all week.
    Coaches were Barnsley players. I was 11 then. When I got home after 1st day my dad asked who was my coach for the week? I was hoping it would be Winnie. When I told my dad it was Pat Howard he said don't worry he's a right player. Always looked out for him after that at Newcastle and Arsenal. I met him once in east stand, nice bloke. I've also met Eric on quite a few occasions so no need for disappointment.

    My first Barnsley hero was the great Duncan Sharpe but as the years went on King Ronnie stole the crown for me .

    Duncan Sharp - seems a popular choice, didn't realise there were so many old fogies on here who would have seen him play.

    First real sporting heroes was probably Paulo Rossi, Gary Bailey and Kenny Dalgleish but after going regularly to Oakwell it was Silky David Currie
