Barnsley V Grimsby Town 8th May 1979

Hey Kendra kid lol, Ive nicked this thread-idea and posted it on ours as well (and yes Ive given you credit for it lol).
Wow 1979 ehh, I weren't even a Tykes fan then at the time, and there in't much I can remember about it as an 8 year old.
But from what Ive heard, Clarkie was amazing in how he transformed the club that season, and the summer of '78 will go down very popularly when we look back at former manager appointments.

Anyway seeing as this vid and this weeks events have got me in a good mood (and I might start posting on here again lol), heres summat you all should be pleased to hear.

 

Can I have a link to your thread please? I'd like to read comments.

 

Err it hardly matters tbh, as only one person has replied to it lol.

 

Yes first game after winter break played at end of February against Stockport 4-1 up with 10 minutes left then a dramatic fightback and a Les Bradd hat trick produced a 4-4 draw

 

I was 20 at the time and can remember it like yesterday. Probably the best ever time to be a Red that season and the next 4.
COYR

 

I was 14 at the time. The major downer then was that it was only 5 days after Thatcher had become PM.
Little did we know what was to come....
