in the 1994-1995 season. Had to retired from playing due to an ankle injury.

Previous Job. Player with Sheffield Wednesday (Transferred) - May 1994 Resigned,

we didn't think so early on. He has proved to be a visionary. He was Barnsley's
first and the country's second black manager. Top of Page

Bournmouth.
Promised 1st division football in 3 years on his arrival, achieved it by

league broke away. Top of Page

Sky when they are at Oakwell. The last manager to get us promoted before

There was once a song on Calendar or Look North. Circa 1981, that went something
