Real life connections to BFC players past and present thread

were his eyebrows as bushy in real life as they looked on team photos? cracking player was archie

 

Did that happen or are you just teasing Jay with a story that includes all his fantasies.

 

Related to the Gallacher family at a guess. Nice quiet unassuming chap, lived at darton when he first moved down here. Was a dark blue material with black pattern as I remember.</p>

And as for IOWT, that story doesn't involve a large black man and a tin of treacle so not all of Jay's fantasies are there.</p>

 

Did you see me talking about football earlier?

I feel cheap.

 

I didn't understand it. Football you say ? how's that work then ?

 

My best friend lives on the same street as Dale Tonges mum and dad in Bolton, and I went to school with Jon Parkin and Ant Kay (although he was a year younger than us)

 

Wayne Goodison

loved my dog

 

When I wor a lad

Pat Howard lived just round the corner from me , in Gilroyd , and when I was at Worsbrough High School , Mick McCarthy was in the year above me .

 

i used to go round to joe joyces house when i was a kid and my dad painted paul cross's house nt

 

i was in lee butlers car when it crashed, and he got banned for drink driving when someone else was driving

 

Anthony Kay

Was in the same year at Darfield Foulstone as my step-son and is stood 5 to the right of him on the back row of the Year 11 group photo that is on our wall.

 

Don't think they ever played for senior BFC squad but ....

... Jimmy and Brian Greenhoff were in the Barnsley Boys Under 11's team coached by my dad.

 

When Jimmy was 11, Brian was only 4?

Must have been a hell of a player for his age!

 

Mick McCarthy......

Fixed me up with interviewing the 80/81 promotion team for my Social Studies thesis. Top bloke! I've seen him a few times since and he always says hello.

Steve Agnew was the year below ours at school - nice lad he was.

 

Nicky Wroe

Saw Him In Tesco's

 

Brian McCord

Got up for a midnight trip to the loo, a found B M creeping around the landing in my house in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Said hello & went back to bed thinking - that was Brian McCord. (chinny)

 

Macca once offered me a lift from Manchester to Barnsley

... but I declined - 15 years old at time - he was playing for Man City & I was on a tour of the ground.

 

RE: John Peachey

Got to know JP when he was working for BMBC SPorts Development.... really nice fella - lives in Pogmoor I think - used to see him in Treddlehoyle from time to time.
