Let's make a list.

Ian McMillan - not funny or talented and pereptuates the Barnsley stereotype in his poems which, apparently, anyone could write.
Toby Foster - not funny or talented, has a show on radio Dee-Dah, and his comedic observations of the town and its people perpetuates the Barnsley stereotype.
Dickie Bird - media whore whose constant "I did this for nowt" apperances on TV everytime perpetuate the Barnsley stereotype.
Michael Parkinson - part-time Barnsleyite when it suits him and when he does his old 'Skinner' Normanton stories pertuate the typical Barnsley stereotype.
Barry Hines - Well, Kes, eh? Given everyone else in the country a chance to stereotype us till the end of time. Ar Judd.
Brain Glover - Loud and came across as a bit thick, and in doing so perpetuated the Barnsley stereotype.
Chris Morgan - town through and through, gave his all and overcomes a lack of talent by playing with passion. But he wasn't very good and we never rated him anyway. And he left us to take a pay rise. To the Dee-Dahs of all people.
Rita Britton - Fashion? Fashion? What's she playing at? A posh shop? Here? In town? Who does she think she is?

So, the Barnsley stereotype - would this be the moaning, paranoid, humourless hypocrite?

 

You missed David Hirst.

 

Rita Britton, who?

 

I was thinking of doing exactly that. There are people on here who, I'm sure would not like anyone on the list.

 

Darren Gough - only claims to be from Barnsley when it suits, when he's really a Tottenham fan. Left to play cricket for Essex, when no decent Barnsley lad would play for anyone other than Yorkshire.

 

It's not so much the stereotyping as the being ****.

</p>

Like he's the best we can do? </p>

 

Nice mugs were you get them from, or have you made them?

 

and how come...

no one from Barnsley can put a tune together, bleeding Saxon, Kate Rusby, Sam Nixon ffs.

Brian Glover

Manchester United Glory Hunting Fan.

Fact

He would have insisted on being Tommy Taylor in Kes other wise.
