    Paul Futcher is my favourite Barnsley defender ever.

    I've been going to Dale for over 31 years. Seen them play at Wembley once and promoted once.

    And that's it.

    Imagine if Keith Hill hadn't been our manager.....

    Similar, my first tarn match was in 1995 as well, although my first match was a 0-0 bore draw against Southend with around 5, 500 in attendance.
    I never made it to a single Premier League game though due to work, one of my biggest regrets...

    Remember Wednesday fans coming to a couple of games that season Gordon, must have been plenty of fixtures cancelled that Winter.

    Indeed, we shouldn't complain that much.
