Just found this out, that he became the earliest scoring substitute (16th minute) when he came on against Leeds in December 2011. Coincidentally that's the only time a substitute has scored a hat-trick for Barnsley FC. He's also the fastest scorer from the start of a match @ 7 seconds against Crystal Palace also in December 2011. Some month for Vaz Te Thanks for the memories
Listening to under the cosh I’m pretty certain someone mentioned he was only on £500 a week when he joined
Yes, Luke Steele said he was only on £500 a week. Went to West Ham on £20k, which went up when they went up. I recall him falling out of favour at West Ham because he was demanding £80k a week from what I recall. He wasn't getting regular game time and that led to his departure from what I remember.
I bloody loved Ricardo playing for little old Barnsley. Inevitable he was going to go but glad we had him for the time we did.
