As this hasn't been the best week of my life

Just to try and cheer myself up , I decided to pick my favoutire all-time Barnsley team . This doesn't mean I've selected the best players , just my favourites . Humour a miserable old git .
1 Gerry Stewart
2 Neil Cooper
3 David Booth
4 Ronnie Glavin
5 Eric Winstanley
6 Pat Howard
7 Mick Butler
8 Craig Hignett
9 Ashley Ward
10 Neil Redfearn
11 Jovo Bosancic .

 

Jovo has got to be in there for pure comedy value I agree, though I can't believe you missed Futcher or Taggart out. Andy Rammell would also walk into my team, though I'm not quite sure why.

 

Remember , it's a "favourites" team

Not necessarly "best" team .

 

RE: Remember , it's a "favourites" team

I know - I just can't think of many players who've given me more pleasure than Futch or Taggart, both for footballing ability and other such things as a lobbed og agaist West Brom, or being sent off in four of the first seven matches of the season respectively!

 

Ah , you're just a young whippersnapper compared to me

ff Futcher , Taggart , McCarthy , May , Pickering & Greenwood were all players who I thought a great deal of . However , I had to do a bit of culling . Three out of the back four played at a time when I first started watching Barnsley , which only goes to show how flipping old I am !!(doh)

 

RE: Ah , you're just a young whippersnapper compared to me

Yep, my very first "favourite player" was Roger Wylde......!

 

That's right , kick a man when he's down !!!

ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
You'll be telling me next you've no idea who Paddy Greenwood is !!

 

Gordon Owen.....

My first favourite....


Sorry to barge in on your conversation, really had an urge to shout that out for some stupid reason

 

All this shows is

That I'm one of the older posters on here !!! Go on , pick your team of favourites . It'll be interesting to compare .

RE: All this shows is

OK, my whole team would be.....

Never been to benidorm, maybe visit him in his bar, when I finally get round to going their

 

From my recollection

I'd go with.....</p>



GK Bobby Horn - Just pipped Clive</p>

RB Joe Joyce - Stalwart</p>

LB John Beresford - International fringe</p>

CB Mick McCarthey - No need to comment</p>

CB Paul Futcher - All the time in the world</p>

RM Craig Hignett - Class in a glass</p>

LM Ronnie Glavin - Unbelievable signing at the time</p>

CM Gwyn Thomas - Iron Favourite BFC player of all time</p>

CM Neil Redfearn - What he lost in talent made up for in passion. Goals Goals Goals</p>

CF Ashley Ward - Nearly kept us up.......BFC's Mark Hughes</p>

CF David Hirst - Scumbag who chose Washday but even so young you knew he was going to be a big time player.</p>

 

HYPOCRITE !!!!

 

RE: All this shows is

Hristov in front of Ward, Fjortoft, Hendrie, Wilkinson, and Mike Tumbling Turner? You're a crazy man.

 

Kev

My recollection goes back to the early 80's not pre-conception!!!

 

RE: All this shows is

I liked Hristov, he was a bit of a mentalist, not as much as Jovo though. Can't believe I missed Fjortoft off, he was hilarious, as was John Pearson.

 

Bobby Flavell?

 

Wasnt Dave Booth a Ginner

you cant have one of those in your favourites, and Stewart instead of Roy Ironside, how could you, and if were going for comedy value, what about Roger Wylde, a real character, one week he was shopping in Asda when he got the urgent call to get to the ground quick, he was playing, and went on to score, good old roger
