Vagina Dildo.

 

I'm glad someone else remembers it! I'm same, tried and failed to find a video of it.

 

In terms of performance on the day from ‘name’ players, I remember..
Dalglish
Zola
Viera
Ginola (2nd cup tie)
Joe Cole
Vardy

 

Reminds me a bit of the best players I didn't see at Oakwell, maybe that needs another thread...

Barnsley v Leicester City, 01 April 2013 - 11v11 match report

PS - absolute STATE of that Reds side!

 

Whoever Dave Regis lacked for afoot we signed him, had to delete what i was going going to post after Jay’s post of the year last night

 

Gonna stay away from top flight sides, cos there’s too many to mention.

Back in the day I thought Mike Lester was ace and couldn’t believe it when we signed him. In Division 3, Tony Towner always stood out against us. Ronnie Moore wouldn’t have got all those goals without him. Up in Division 2 I thought Steve Bull was ace and I absolutely loved the game where Carl Tiler was up against, and largely got the better of, him. The entire Middlesbrough team that beat us on their way to promotion in (?) 1988 were just fantastic. But the away performance I will always remember, as a kid, was when the great Kevin Keegan came to Oakwell and destroyed us in Newcastle’s 5-0 victory.

Although the game has bittersweet memories for me, because my dad couldn’t attend, so arranged for me to go with our next door neighbour. Firstly. I couldn’t understand why we were setting off so early, when we only lived just on the other side of the town centre. As I stood with a bottle of pop and bag of crisps outside the pub it all came clear. And if that wasn’t enough, despite the pleasure of watching an actual superstar on Oakwell (note the small ‘s’, as I’m not referring to the bike!) he decided we were going home before the end!!?!? The upside was that I only saw a 4-0 defeat, but still, all the way home I was barely concealing a seething mass of complaint to throw at my dad. “I am NEVER going to the match with him again!”

 

yep, go along with that

 

Can also remember 1991, kid playing for bristol, ran round 4 defenders then slotted home with great aplomb, me and my mate looked at each other and said, do you know that kid's going to go far: Andy Cole. Met him 15 years later and he actually remembered his own trivia fact, the one club he'd always scored against: Barnsley. Fair play I suppose.

 

Bergkamp. Seemed to be playing a different game to everyone else on the pitch.

non Barnsley was Leeds v Man U around 2001, Paul Scholes. Ridiculously good, controlled the game from start to finish. Head and shoulders above every player and there were some world class players on display.

 

he was fantastic that day.
