Re: Striker

Didn’t Tommy Wright also come from Barnsley? Also I believe Carl Airey was signed from them as well. Yes, one of the stars in our 1985 promotion side. Think he went abroad after us, a rare Darlo export! He went to Charleroi in Belgium but didn't settle and played just three games at the start of th...

Re: Striker

I think Phil Lloyd, scorer of the second goal against Middleborough in the FAC in 85, came to us from Barnsley, too.

.... or were Leicester City not in the top flight when he played for them?
He started at Barnsley anyway, but no, he left LCFC after the Div 1 play off final in 94.

Re: Lol Morgan

After managing Darlington he left to manage Norwich City from 1966/69. What he did after that I have no idea. I am guessing he left football management after that but if anyone knows what happened to him it would be interesting to know. According to the Eastern Daily Press, after leaving Norwich, w...

Think it’s safe to say the Farsley monkey is well and truly off our backs now.
Indeed, and what a way to do it. Chorley is now our worst away record - 1 pt from 12.

Re: Farsley game

Looking forward to this one since missing the Spenny home game. Need a win, hopefully we can travel back with 3 points. I would never have thought of Farsley as our bogey team (not least because I don't believe in bogey teams) but of all the teams we've played three or more times away, in league ma...

Re: Potential new local derbies

The quality of teams in the Northern League is fast being eroded.

Out of them teams there was only really Spenny who were a ...
