    Barnsley sprang a huge shock when they beat Liverpool at Anfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup and it will be a similar surprise if they beat Chelsea in their quarter-final on Saturday. </p>

    But the Tykes have previous form in this competition against the Blues - thumping them 4-0 in their only previous Cup meeting on 7 January 1989, in the third round. </p>

    Welsh winger Gwyn Thomas put the Tykes ahead with a stunning strike before Steve Agnew converted two David Currie crosses to extend Barnsley's lead. </p>

    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="208" align="right" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 5px">[​IMG]</td><td class="sib606"><div class="sihf">606: DEBATE </div><div class="ibqlinks">Do you know where David Currie, Jim Dobbin or Darren Wood are now?</div></td></tr></tbody></table></p>

    Currie scored the fourth goal himself, slotting home from John Beresford's pull-back, to round off a convincing victory. </p>

    Only a serious injury to Gwyn Thomas, sustained in a challenge by Chelsea hardman Graham Roberts, marred Barnsley's day. </p>

    But what happened to the players who lined up at Oakwell 19 years ago. Here BBC Sport finds out what became of Steve Agnew, Roger Freestone, Tony Dorigo and the rest. </p>

    Gwyn Thomas 'Thomas the Tank' was a hardworking and versatile midfielder who won Wales Under-21 caps but was injured on the one occasion he was called up to the senior side. Never really recovered from the after-effects of Roberts' tackle and left for Hull City in 1990.

    Certainly did

    But it wasn't Graham Roberts that crocked Gwyn Thomas. I know it's become FACT that it was, but it wasn't.

    Fair play it could hav been any of them as they tried to kick us off the park.</p>
