    No Mido? Some mistake, surely?

    Totally agree with Redders at No 1 though. :)

    I’ve always thought that people look back on Ashley Ward’s time with us with rose tinted glasses, but this one takes the biscuit…..
    “Ward played a significant role in Barnsley’s historic push to the Premier League, netting eight goals in the promotion-winning 1996–97 season.”

    Was I on another planet?

    Good to see that Tommy Taylor continued to play for us nearly 40 years after his death. Is this some AI generated bilge? Almost every fact on here is wrong.

    It's a difficult thing to compare players from different teams but Jim Dobbin?

    What a load of rubbish. I agree that the top 3 ought to be up there but as for the rest?????

    where are:

    Tuffnell
    Hind
    Blanchflower
    Robledo
    Winstanley
    Foster
    Murphy (even)

    I'd have Mick McCarthy in there ahead of Dobbin, as much as I liked Jim.

    Difficult to rate the likes of Tommy Taylor and Danny Blanchflower as I saw neither play and never seen footage of them in a Barnsley shirt either. Tommy only played 44 games before going to Man U so it's hard to count him as a "Barnsley Legend", likewise Blanchflower who played 68 games.

    I'd find it difficult to name the top ten
    In my time watching us over 60yrs (the link does say are these) as there are many I could fit in.
    A shot at it
    Glavin
    McCarthy
    Banks
    Readders
    Higgy
    Curry
    Muller
    Stuart Gray
    Paul Futcher
    Barraclough.
    But so many others have been brilliant for Barnsley. And I include Dobbin among em. For some reason Mel Machin overlooked him when he took charge. Even though Dobbin was a class act. Playing him in the reserves and performing out of his skin.
    As for the article did he actually do his own research. A few flaws in there. And his write up on Tommy Taylor eh.

    I think that list makes it into my top ten most ridiculous articles ever.

    Jim *f***in' Dobbin indeed.

    Could Gary Hutchinson be Dobbin in disguise ?

    Surely Jim Dobbin wouldn’t trouble the top 100

    Abysmal article. Gary Hutchinson - I'd be ashamed to put my name to that. And the fact that it's apparently been 'fact checked' makes it even worse! Complete bulls**t.
