i know fck all about him, but came to the conclusion he was a good player because he looks quite fast.
Remember when he played up front with Winnie? As I remember he scored 2 goals and big Whinnie 1. Can't remember who we were playing.
Home to Reading , Spring 1971 We won 3-0 . I think Phil Chambers made his debut that day too , taking Boothy's place at left back .
hmm English Division 3 (old) Barnsley 3 (0) - 0(0) Reading on 24-04-1971 a bit before my time..I was only 2! pathetic excuse- I know.
Well I got the scorers right He was a top player with Winstanley and Howard in the middle and I think Spud at right back. I remember Howard used to hack people down and not even get a ticking off. He would have had a red card in the warm up these days. Fantastic player, from Dodeth an'all, I think.
I used to hang around the Horse and Jockey in Dodeth I had a sort of premonition that I would be hanging round there 35 years later
He certainly was My first Barnsley hero ( second only to Glavin in my all time list ) and his challenges were 'boisterous' .
