my mate is doin a sports degree an he needs to rite su **** on us an old times so need help from sum of you old uns on ere. can any of u remeber these players an can u tell me sumet abart em. ta. bobby horn phil chambers carl airey winstonian cambell got sum more palyers but lost the list so these for now. ta.
think winston cambell was the first blak bfc player although i could be wrong, phil chambers was a local lad so should be able to get info on him.
Bobby Horn was a good keeper in early 80's Phil Chambers relaible left back who was part of the glory years part of a great back four of Chambers , Mccarthy, Evans and Joyce Carl Airey - wasn't he a binman before a footballer? Striker , scored goal against Liverpool at Oakwell to put us 1-0. Lost the game 3-1 . Winston Campbell was a decent winger - did quite well at Barnsley. Scored a few goals and was quite tricky at times
Winston was not the first black player. The first black player was many years before (1930's?) but I cannot remember the name.
I think the first black player was a guy called Steve Makone, or summat like that, don't know how many games he played for us, I bet Big Lil will know.
Bobby Horn and Phil Chambers were part of the brilliant team that had Glavin, Banks, McCarthy, Aylott etc. Phil was a loyal servant. I seem to remember that he had been around for a few seasons before Allan Clarke assembled that brilliant side. Yet he kept his place and managed to hold his own. I remember my Dad and the 'blokes' used to say that Chambers was the weak link in that top side but to be fair he was playing alongside McCarthy, Evans and Joe Joyce! A simply outstanding defence. I remember Winston getting horrendous racial abuse most notably against Leeds. It was the first time I had experienced that. Carl Airey was after the great team and therefore had a lot to live up to. Not easy trying to follow, Trever Aylott, Derick Parker and Stewart Barrowclough.
Bobby Horn - good goalkeeper, dodgy tache. Phil Chambers, decent full back, decent cricketer, dodgy tache Carl Airey, not the best but certainly not the worst forward we've ever had. Dodgy blonde hair. Winston - nimble winger, a crowd-pleaser, nothing dodgy about him (well, apart from his thin gangly legs). Ian Banks has got to be on your list - my first ever hero. Star player. Need I say more............?
Carl Airey From Wikipedia where you'll get info on all the players Carl Airey, a bustling centre-forward, began his professional career as an apprentice with Barnsley, turning professional in February 1983 and making his league debut the same season. He also spent a period on loan at Bradford City where he failed to score in five games at the start of the 1983–84 season.[1] He left Oakwell in August 1984, after 38 league games in which he scored five goals, joining Darlington. At Feethams, he was top scorer the following season as Darlington, under Cyril Knowles, won promotion. He went on to score 28 goals in 75 league games before his transfer to Belgian side Charleroi in May 1986. His stay in Belgium was a short one, making 3 appearances without scoring, before returning to England in December of the same year to join Chesterfield on loan for whom he played 26 league games, scoring four goals. In August 1987, Carl was on the move once more, this time to Rotherham United, where he averaged a goal every three games, scoring 11 in 32 league games. He joined Torquay United, teaming up once more again with former manager Cyril Knowles and former teammate Phil Lloyd, in December 1988, making his debut on January 20, 1989 when he came on as a substitute for Ian Weston in a 2–0 defeat away to Halifax Town. He struggled to establish himself in the starting line-up, although he did start at Wembley in the Sherpa Van Trophy Final against Bolton Wanderers. The following season he started as first choice, but soon lost his place and along with Ian Weston joined Shamrock Rovers on loan in September 1989 where after 5 appearances [1] he returned to the Torquay side the following month and equalled Sammy Collins' record of scoring in seven consecutive games before losing his place again and not featuring again in the first team after the end of January. He was released at the end of the season, joining Salisbury in July 1990. He was later reported to be working as a milkman in Salisbury.
Young Barnsley fans should know all this, it's crucial history. Look through the player archive for the Trevor Aylott interview from early this season.
