Great shout Animal and I was actually at that game but alas the memory takes a bit of prompting these days , there will be a lot more class acts I will have missed but that is why I started the thread, what it does show is that over the years there has actually been some world class players run out on our hallowed turf .

Barnsley in no particular order since late 80s

Redders
Hignett
Stones
Taggart
Barnard

Opponents

Luca Vialli
Partrick Viera
Dennis Bergkamp
David Ginola
Joe Cole

I’ve seen some good Barnsley players:
Glavin
Hirst
Hignett
Hammill
Earnshaw

I didn’t go during the Premier season cos I was otherwise busy - so I didn’t see those games.

But the performance that sticks in my mind was Mark Hateley playing for Portsmouth.
He wer like Thor - but with black hair.
Incredible performance.

If you ask the older end this question the name Tommy Taylor is usually mentioned.

Redders
Hignett
Glavin
McCarthy
Bell

Opponents

Luca Vialli
Marc Overmars
Dennis Bergkamp
David Ginola
Neville Southall

I saw Gareth Bale substituted at Oakwell after 10 minutes of being roasted by a certain Martin Devaney.
