Top Level Players from Barnsley and District

Speedie was born in Glenrothes nt

 

Mick Pickering

played for soton

 

Did Andy Rhodes play in the top flight? nt

 

Ironic that all these produced pre the Barnsley Academy nt

 

Moses & the thug? nt

 

No, fairly sure JP didn't play in the Prem for Stoke ..............

....... but did play this season for them in a League Cup match, so technically he played for a Prem team I suppose

 

Redfern and Ward

Played for Charlton

and Bradford/Blackburn i think?

 

But they didn't 'originate' from Barnsley .............

......... think you might be missing the point mate, it's top flight players who come from the tarn or surrounding areas, regardless of whether they played for the tarn or not, otherwise we could count our full squad from 97/98

 

Steve Daley

Wolves legend, and the 2nd ever million pound player when moving to Man City. He's from Tarn

Moved to Donny when he was a very young lad. nt

 

He did play for West Ham but...

....was it during their First Division days? Also, he was from West Yorks (was it Dewsbury?)

 

Alan Oakes

goal keeper - played for Man City in the 60's.

 

Do you mean the Man City full back from Winsford

 

No, he played in goal

Saw him in a testimonial match down Oakwell in 1967. It was Barnsley against a team of locally born players.

Or is the old memory playing up? (chinny)

 

Sure you're not thinking of Alan Ogley.

 

Ian Knight ?

Did he play top flight with Wednesday after Bobby Collins got shut to spite the board ?</p>

Carl Tiler was a Sheffield lad.</p>

</p>

 

If you want to know anything about football ask me.

My nephew plays for his school team.

 

Err - I might be

Yes that's who I'm thinking of - Thank you.

There was also a winger who played for Hull City in the 60's, but I cannot remember his second name. Ian ??????

 

RE: Ian Knight ?

Of the dreadful leg-break fame?

 

Ernest Blenkinsop I think captained england and was from cudworth.
