    No true Barnsley fan could say they were bored throughout that era. We had a top class centre half pairing of McCarthy and Evans, a midfielder who could dribble his way through defences as if they weren't there, and then score (Glavin) or one who just banged it in from distance, usually scoring (Banks). Then we had a great number nine who migrated north from Chelsea and played out of his skin for us (Aylott). A great team that were within a whisker of getting to the First Division.

    What a great sight that would have been!

    I wasn't around in them days to be able to say, but personally i like seeing changes and things that you wanted dont happen. makes the game that bit more exciting ( and annoying)
