    Barnsley FC are saddended by the passing of former player Eddie Loyden, at the age of 79.

    Eddie, a centre forward, played for the Reds between 1968 and 1970. He amassed over 60 league appearances and scored 23 league goals.

    Away from Barnsley, Loyden played for Blackpool, Chester, Shrewsbury Town and Tranmere Rovers in England. As well as time in South Africa and Hong Kong before retiring in 1978.

    Eddie resided in his hometown of Liverpool after his career, and will be fondly remembered for his contribution at Barnsley FC. All of our thoughts are with Eddie's loved ones at this difficult time.

    Rest in Peace, Eddie.

    Maybe his family asked for a period of private mourning.

    It’s been reported in several places though, especially on sites belonging to former clubs. Tranmere made a big thing out of it, reminding their fans what a great player he was for them. Just think our media people could have been a bit quicker putting this out.

    Someone put it on here Thursday evening. A multitude of reasons may have prevented putting summat out on Friday. Or should the media team have put out over the weekend. He died on the 5th apparantly. and other than Facebook not one team reported b4 the 13th. I would imagine living in Liverpool local media picked up on it. (A full 8 days later.)
    Not exactly an issue surely.
