I have been watching Barnsley since 1981 which I know is not as long as some people on here but I just wondered what peoples favourite team would be if they could choose from all the players they have seen in a reds shirt. My squad of 16 would bePlaying 3-5-2 formation. GK Watson CB Arjan de Zeuuw Chris Morgan Paul Futcher RB Nicky Eaden LB Darren Barnard Mid Ronnie Glavin Neil Redfearn Craig Hignett Strikers Ashley Ward John Hendrie Subs GK - Lee Butler Def - Gary Fleming Mid - Darren Sheridan Winger - Clint Marcelle Striker - Andy Liddell
Kevin Miller Carl Regan Steve Chettle Peter Handyside Craig Ireland Kevin Donovan Gary Jones Chris Lumsden Mike Sheron Lee Jones Subs: Taylor(that keeper from Wycombe) Bruce Dyer Nicky Wroe Wayne Biggins Tommy Wright
I'd go 4-4-2 GK Watson RB Eaden LB Barnard CB McCarthy Futcher RW Barrowclough LW Banks CM Glavin Sheridan CF Ward Parker Subs Butler de Zeeuw Redfearn Little Hendrie
No McCarthy Surely some mistake in the centre backs there. Otherwise no real complaints with that setup - but can we have Allan Clarke as the striker alongside Ward?
RE: I'd go 4-4-2 Never saw Barraclough myself although his son looked a decent prospect for a while. I can't believe I missed Taggart out of my team.

RE: No McCarthy McCarthy was just before my time I think or before I was a regular visitor to Oakwell. If it had been defenders that I was aware of but had not properly seen then McCarthy Winstanley
Fair enough I must be a bit older than you then. I allus liked Phil Chambers at left back as well - but hard to put him ahead of Barnard
RE: I'd go 4-4-2 It's fair to say we've had some very good players over the years. Can't believe I missed Taggart too. Also Carl Tiler. Then there's David Currie. Also Stuart Gray. We could be here all night!
RE: Fair enough Horn Barnard (l/b) McCarthy Tyler Eaden (r/b) Barrowclough (l/w) Redfearn (c) Glavin Hignett (r/w) Ward Hendrie (what a starting line up that would be) Manager: Danny Wilson Subs: - Taggart - McHale - Fjortoft - Chambers - Bullock
Watson Eaden Barnard Glavin McCarthy Ian Evans Banks Bobby Doyle Ward Aylott Hignett Redders Baker deZeeuw Hendrie Gray Lots of gaols in that team, lol. Dont think we would have to do much defending
RE: Like I said You're reight! I mean, I'm stunned I couldn't find room for Trevor Aylott, Neil Shipperley or (somewhat controvertial I'm sure) Georgie Hristov...
