The missus is away at her daughter's in Selby for the weekend so I've been searching youtube for Barnsley videos in the hope of finding the goal scored by King Ronnie at Bellend Rd in 1984. I didn't find it but found this which brought me great cheer, enjoy. 5th goal being a peach from Adam Hammill....
Told this afore. But when I went to a road show at work . (about 200 present) Folk were asked what's the best thing to happen whilst at yorkshire water. A couple stood up to brag about their achievements getting the water back on or stop s41t going tut river. (We'd all done summat similar. Pillocks) I stood up. ( with my leeds fan mate telling me not to bless him) and said best thing that happened whilst I was at YW. Was Barnsley 5 leeds 2. Place erupted in cheers and boos lol. New manager lost all his colour. Fuming at such an answer. One of the directors peed himself laughing. I Chuffin hated bullsh1t self conglatuary road shows and got into trouble more than once lol. Once told by a colleague (laughing) to pick up mi P45 on the way out.
Forgot to add it was at Bell end rd conference room. Lots of leeds fans. Out shouted by all others of other clubs lol. I was an hero for a little while.
This one was my personal favourite, brilliant game of football. Michael McIndoe in particular was sublime that day.
To this day, he still denies being involved in any criminal activity. Currently the manager of Gretna. https://theathletic.com/3718765/2022/10/25/michael-mcindoe-gretna-money/
Annoyingly, it let me read it earlier, but it isn't now. The Athletic usually has some free articles, but this doesn't appear to be one of them. My usual trick for bypassing their paywall has been blocked for that particular site too.
I didnt realise he had a book out - been reading about it and supposed to be a really good read. Was going to see about buying it but everywhere I try its sold out, it was released in 2017 though
