Is Langstaff a better goalscorer than Dennis

I used to love watching Paul Barnes for this, chances just followed him around. He missed a lot for County but it was no surprise what he did at his other clubs after he left.

Paul Barnes is an interesting one.

Warnock sold him because of injuries. Looking back that could have been his biggest mistake.

He was a very good finisher, with at the time great pace and skill. But we couldn’t keep him on the pitch.

I remember his goal away at Rotherham. Ran most of the length of the pitch with defenders hanging off him and slotted it low into the far corner.

Ironically, Warnock signed him for Bury for 10k more than he sold him for 9 years earlier.

His lads not a bad player either, Harvey.

A real 'what might have been' type of career.

I think he was a couple of years older than Tommy & Drapes and it must have been tough for him seeing them ascend while he was crocked and could never get started. If he had a start like them he could have played for bigger clubs at higher levels. Even so, he fetched 350,000+ transfers a couple of times including a club record.

My fond memory of him was his constant agitation to eke out chances, so active and hungry. My type of striker.
