Name the former player..

I was born in the East of England during the Chinese year of the pig. My star sign is Pisces.
I played many games for Barnsley but never as a substitute.

I hit the pinnacle of English football by playing in the Premier League.

My parents first name initials were J & S.


Who am I ?

 

Matty Appleby.

 

Clive Baker

 

Bang on..

 

That was a short thread .

 

Which bit gave it away? Never a sub?

 

Hey, started with an easy one. I'll up the ante.

 

Aye Goalkeeper. Well bugger me.

 

I always thought his Dad was called Ted.
Even bought a t shirt, in Turkey, with his Dad’s name on.

 

I looked at the Chinese years of the pig. Thought that as they played for Barnsley for years then played in the prem it narrowed it down to people born in 71 or 59. Thought east of England and stumped for Sir Clive.

Checked out date of Birth and saw he was a piscean like me.

 

Player Number 2.. Hoping a tad more difficult.

Born in the Chinese year of the Rabbit this Gemini played just over 16% of his senior games for Barnsley who were the most northern of all his clubs.
This player also has a link down under and has had his hands on the ultra prestigious EFL trophy at some stage in his career.
