In October 1966, Barnsley FC faced one of the most perilous periods in its history, hovering on the brink of financial collapse & 60 years ago today the Green 'Un included a piece on the crisis. A few days later the club was saved by local businessmen #ErnestDennis & #GeoffreyBuckle #BarnsleyFC

...after 2 mins but Hough then had to pick the ball out of his net 5 times as Barnsley lost 5-1. 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #HarryHough

Otd in 1955, the Green 'Un speculated who would captain the Reds at #BlackburnRovers as in the 12 games that season so far, the 3 previous skippers were all injured. Turned out it was Harry Hough & not Henry Walters. In the game - Bobby Brown put the Reds in front...1/2 #BarnsleyFC #HarryHough

Fifty years ago today, the back page of the Chron included stories about:
- The death of former Red John Short the previous Sunday;
- Match report from the 2-1 defeat at #DoncasterRovers;
- BFC Juniors beat #LeedsUnited Juniors 3-0;
- Team news for the match the next day v Aldershot
#BarnsleyFC

Otd in 2003, the Yorkshire Post reported that Jacob Burns had been on trial at Oakwell & Gudjon Thordarson was considering signing him. He did sign 3 days later after leaving Leeds United. #BarnsleyFC #JacobBurns

Otd in 1978, the Green 'Un included a piece on Glyn Riley who'd been given the No 9 shirt by Allan Clarke. It compared him to Arthur Kaye, an outstanding winger for the Reds in the '50s. I never thought of Riley as a winger tbh. For anyone who saw both, were they similar? #BarnsleyFC #GlynRiley

Otd in 1900, Barnsley lost 2-1 against Small Heath at Oakwell in Div 2. Goalkeeper John Broley, signed from Tranmere Rovers that summer, made his debut & also played the next 2. These were his only games before being released. He stayed in Barnsley & was later Mayor between 1927-29. #BarnsleyFC

Otd in 2018, in a midday ko for Sky TV, Barnsley beat Luton Town 3-2 at Oakwell. Some good goals here... #BarnsleyFC www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdso...

Match report from the game here.... 2/2 #BarnsleyFC

Otd day in 1985, the Reds lost 2-0 at #BradfordCity in Div 2. It could've been more & Allan Clarke wasn't happy! This was also Ronnie Glavin's 215th & last game. There are too few clips of the great man in action but enjoy a few here.. 1/2 #BarnsleyFC #RonnieGlavin

Otd in 1993, Barnsley ‘keeper David Watson received his first England U21 cap when he played in a European Championship Qualifier against the Netherlands in Utrecht. The game was a 1-1 draw. Also in the team was future Red Mike Sheron, receiving his 15th cap. #BarnsleyFC #DavidWatson

Otd in 1986, Barnsley beat Bradford City 2-0 at Oakwell in Div 2. Stuart Gray scored both (one a pen). Paul Malcolm, understudy to Clive Baker, made his debut. He played the next 2 games but when Baker returned he didn't play again, signing for Doncaster Rovers in July '88. #BarnsleyFC #BCFC

I mentioned it was Winston Campbell's birthday yesterday. Otd in 1981, he played his first full game for Barnsley & was outstanding in a 2-1 defeat at #BlackburnRovers in Div 2. The Reds deserved a point & looked like getting it until conceding in the 89th minute. #BarnsleyFC #WinstonCampbell

Happy Birthday today to ex-Red Winston Campbell, born on this day in 1962 in Sheffield. He played 144 games for Barnsley and scored 10 goals. And HB to you if it's yours today! #BarnsleyFC #WinstonCampbell

Seven years ago today, after his dismissal the previous day Daniel Stendel (and Chris Stern) had a few beers & said goodbye to fans in The Garrison before returning home to Germany. #BarnsleyFC #DanielStendel

Otd in 1979, Barnsley played #Chesterfield at Oakwell in Div 3. Mike Lester, signed from Grimsby a few days earlier debuted & Allan Clarke included himself for the first time since the opening day. Lester hit the post but the Spireites scored with 10 mins left to win 1-0. #BarnsleyFC #MikeLester

The supporters are the most important part of the game. Barnsley, "Father & Son Up Oakwell"
