    Can be any player from any league. A few familiar names always come up in a list of best ever footballers, but take into account our current squad and which player in which position would be most beneficial for the team this season.

    A lethal goalscorer? A midfield maestro? A brick wall in defence or goal?

    it can be a Barnsley player if you’re determined for it to be, but this is open to top level legends.

    If I could pick any player it would always be Futcher for me, but in terms of this thread I would go for Redfearn.

    Redfearn. We need someone to take games by the scruff on the neck.

    Agreed. Can get us the goals from midfield and set pieces, has the experience to captain and a never say die attitude And we need that badly, midfield is our most pressing weakness as far as I'm concerned

    Yeah sort the midfield and even this powder puff attack will be enough.

    Think some people have misread the title :D

    I'm 40 so it's from an era before my time to be honest.

    If it's Barnsley players, then Danny Blanchflower, if not then Pele.

    Didn't see an ex-Barnsley stipulation so I'd add Maradona.

    Dave Regis was definitely in his prime during this period......
    Failing Dave it would have to be Redfearn for motivational skills.

    I was going to pick Redfern however I do not think he was signed until after 1990 so I would have to go with the King ! Theres only one Ronnie Glavin

    Glavin, beyond all doubt. I've never seen a player, at any level, electrify a ground and a crowd, quite like King Ronnie in his pomp.

    Think there's a possibility he could be a disruptive influence on our young lads.

    Yes he's dead. He'd probably scare them 5h1tless.
