So you think you know a thing or two about Barnsley FC? Well identify these recent managers from the following descriptions. a) Slightly effeminate, always well turned out, softly spoken, tends to state the obvious, probably a really nice guy but knows the proverbial when it comes to football. b) Was touted by some as a good bet for the future. It didn't work out that way, whinged a lot, moody, made some embarrassing sigings. c) Talked at 160mph, not all of it sensible or even comprehensible, nevertheless knows his stuff and took no nonsense from players. d) not the most charismatic of creatures, mumbled a lot, feeble excuses for feeble displays, not media friendly and a general miserable sod. e) A bit of a surprise when he was appointed, achieved success, even more surprising when he left.
Correct answers were: Spackman (currently provides expert commentary on showings of Swan Lake) Parkin (?) Bassett (now with that loveable bunch in W Yorks) Hart (still at McDonalds but attends eloqution lessons in evenings) Ritchie (still wearing a garden gnome's cap and telling the press the lads worked their socks off).
