    TBF it was Jim Illeys reign that brought us from fighting relegation in the McSevenney and second Johnny Steele era with 2-3000 crowds to just missing out on promotion with a rag tackle band of other clubs cast offs and home grown talent as Phil chambers and Mick McCarthy etc with 5-6000 crowds .
    But I get your gist and for me it was PC taking over club I really feared for Barnsley FC in that era and thought we would be watching AFC Barnsley with all our history wiped off.

    To be fair, Peter Doyle should also be included in this. He was the one who saved the club when we were desperate.

    PC then came along later and got it back on it's feet.

    Spending 10 grand on signing Barrie Thomas and Johnny Evans. We were bottom of the League in October 1966, 5 wins away from a place that would have saved us from having apply for re-election to the Football League. Those two signings changed our fortunes on and off the pitch.

    And then Brown deciding to try and play Reuser offside in the last minute when Reuser was in his own half.

    Finding Phil Gridelet in the first place, and giving him a 12 minutes in 3 years playing contract. :)

    I'd been wondering whether to put this myself. I held off because there was next to no chance of us not being re-elected. However, it was one of the pivotal moments in our history.

    I’m not saying I like the bloke, quite the opposite. But, the fact remains that, for whatever reason, he was the only one to put his money down when we needed it.

    There’s been an handful of most important decisions - and that’s definitely up there with them.

    That is not correct. For starters it wasn’t his money that he put down. Secondly my recollection was that Patrick Cryne was one of a number of people preparing to put a proposal forward when the administrator accepted Doyle’s proposal ahead of the official deadline that was set, effectively pulling the rug out from the others

    Boudicca going for power rather than placement and losing to the Romans in 61AD. Brexit would have started 1955 years earlier and maybe they'd have sorted it out by now.
