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"

...came on as a 2nd half sub & 2 mins later Glyn Riley headed in at the far post to make it 2-2. #BarnsleyFC #GlynRiley #CarlisleUnited 2/2

Otd in 1980, a Mike Lester header after 9 mins put the Reds in front at Carlisle United in Div 3. After 31 mins Neil Cooper headed an OG when trying to clear & Barnsley conceded again to go in 2-1 down at h-t. Norman Hunter.. 1/2 #BarnsleyFC #CarlisleUnited

Otd in 1957, Barnsley’s brilliant winger Arthur Kaye was selected in a Football League XI V the League of Ireland representative match played at Elland Road. The Football League won 3-1 with 2 goals from Ray Parry (Bolton Wanderers) & 1 from Peter Broadbent (Wolves). #BarnsleyFC #ArthurKaye

And second, striker Tommy Graham signed for Halifax Town for a fee of £15,000. In total he played 41 times for the Reds and scored 14 goals. 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #TommyGraham #HalifaxTown

Two stories from this day in 1980. First, this was the day that 7 years after leaving Barnsley FC, Eric Winstanley returned as assistant commercial manager. Less than a year later he moved into a full-time coaching role. And second..1/2 #BarnsleyFC #EricWinstanley

Otd in 2007, Barnsley (4th in the Champ'ship) had a tough game at #CharltonAthletic in 2nd. Charlton hit the woodwork twice & scored after 82 mins. Simon Davey brought on Kim Christensen & after 90 mins he smashed home to equalise – his only goal for #BarnsleyFC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyyN...

Otd in 1985, Barnsley played leaders Portsmouth at Oakwell in Division 2. A mediocre performance resulted in a 1-0 defeat. The bright spot was 17 year old David Hirst in just his 5th first team appearance. #ManchesterUnited were amongst the clubs at the game watching him. #BarnsleyFC #DavidHirst

Otd in 1978 at the BFC AGM (reported in the Chron the following week), Allan Clarke disclosed offers for 2 players totalling £55k had been turned down. I wonder if this was Derek Bell and Tommy Graham? Also, Ernest Dennis said seating may be installed in the Brewery side at Oakwell. #BarnsleyFC

Otd in 1969, Eric Winstanley made his 250th League appearance for Barnsley in a 2-1 victory against Barrow at Oakwell in League Division 3. Eddie Loyden & George Boardman scored for the Reds. #BarnsleyFC #EricWinstanley

..to Rotherham County in 1905. Like Barnsley St. Peter’s, County played in the Midland League, winning the title 4 seasons in a row prior to WW1. This was their first season in the League having just been elected. In 1925 a merger with Rotherham Town created #RotherhamUnited. #BarnsleyFC 2/2

Otd in 1919, in the first ever Football League meeting between the teams at Oakwell, Barnsley played Rotherham County in Div 2 & won 4-0. Reds’ scorers were #AlbertNewton (2), Joe Halliwell & Brough Fletcher. Founded in 1877 as Thornhill FC, the name changed..1/2 #RotherhamUnited. #BarnsleyFC

Otd in 1998, Ashley Ward headed Barnsley in front in a First Dvision (now Champ) game with Bolton at Oakwell. Bolton came back to lead 2-1 at half-time & Robin Van Der Laan levelled in the closing stages. #BarnsleyFC #BWFC Sorry for grainy footage...

..before h-t to lead. In the 2nd half Ian Banks missed a pen & Watford scored again to win 3-1 - the Reds biggest of the season. 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #Watford #TrevorAylott
