The like was for the phrase, not the opinion of Barnes' abilities.

I think he came from Lestah in a swap deal for Tommy English.

Winger who played in Spain and had two spells with us, making little impact in either. His brother was much better.

Correct, well done! Hard one to google that, you either knew it from the 80's or you didn't.

Another one, then: striker who had an incredible career record of 10 goals in 8 starts for us in the League Cup.

I thought him because he scored a couple against forest in the five goal game. Regis must have played more so it can’t be him - I doubt Speedie but I can’t think of anyone else

Not Thommo, but fun fact in the style of the "David Smith living with yer nan" one: my mum was in a post natal clinic after me at the same time as Gary's wife, which my dad was totally chuffed about as he was his favourite player at the time.

Ah I loved him cos I was a kid at the time. Thought he was the next big thing. Went to Blackburn in a big money move and did OK but then they bought Shearer et al. Went to Chelsea and never got a game, and ended up as a bit of a Grimsby stalwart, playing as often in defence as up front. He was really slow at Grimsby though from what I remember.

I’m sure I’ve used this before but it’s just a quirky thing but which player scored a hat trick on both the opening game of the season and the last game of the season

Houchen-esque m8. Shit in the league but came alive in cup games.

David Cross - was at the Burnley game (final game of the season) and one of our friends got carted off to Blackpool police station for barking at a police dog! Released him at the end of the night, but detained his mate who went in the police station to ask for his release!!

I went to the Everton game at Goodison expecting a beating, 4-1 and well worth it, away day to Burnley, took thousands and took over Blackpool too. David Cross made his name for Rochdale in 71 knocking us out of the cup and had a great career especially at West Ham.
