    Whenever the disaster is mentioned the large majority of people only mention Tommy Taylor as a Barnsley born player that died that night. Mark Jones also died, and he was from Wombwell.

    The reason that Tommy Taylor is mentioned is because he played for Barnsley though, Jones didn't.

    2 out of the 8 players that died were Barnsley lads.......just shows the talent around here then

    And the talent is still there now but harder to find (ok, probably not as good as these two lads tho)

    David Pegg was from near Doncaster...

    Don't know whether he gets mentioned in Donny, but he dosn't get mentioned all that much around these parts. Another class player.
