    No mention of his Barnsley origins and playing record. We must have imagined it…

    Premier League Star?

    "scored more than 200 goals during his career, which spanned from the sixth tier to Premier League promotion with Stoke, albeit not making a top-flight appearance'

    I think we played him at centre half which was obviously not his best position. Going up front made his career

    I used to watch him and Fallon up front in the reserves, I can't remember why we moved him to centre-back when he got into the first team.

    It was Parkin yes.
    And Jon told me at every club he played.
    As soon as Steve Parkin arrived ,he was out like a flash.
    Not Jon s choice ,he didn't rate him.

    Wasn’t there some sort of disciplinary action due to an alleged driving offence?

    I didn't rate him to be honest. Poor example to younger players. Overweight and wrong life style. Didn't give a f cuk.

    Good luck to him with his podcast and has some excellent stories and indiscretions. Not my cup of tea though.

    Sure he's a nice bloke but no example to youngsters.

    Jonny is a great lad and I have known him since he was about 14 years old.

    This Fred is a bit mental. Always speaks highly of Barnsley and does the town proud. Ended up being a very good Football League centre forward.

    One of our own.

    He didn't do too bad with his poor lifestyle played at a very good standard.
    Imagine how good he could have been.
    Tony Adams did OK if I remember too.
