Rovers Players Signed or loaned from Barnsley

[Colemans Left Hook]

I was wondering what the odds were on a Dingle loanee turning up this seasonhaving passed immigration. The relationship to our "little brother" surely has never been better 

so can anyone supply any names -- not played for both but signed for Rovers directly?.

By the way I expect our "little brother" to finish in the top 8

Ricky Ravenhill

it says trainee at Barnsley signed on a free for Rovers  i was looking for money changing hands if possible.

Tony Leighton seemed a possibility but the Dingles were nicking Rovers players as early as 1962 

[BillyStubbsTears]

One of the most legendary Rovers players of all time fits the bill.

[Branton Rover]

Alan ‘Animal’ Little surely one of the best signings we ever made from Barnsley - he was as hard as nails & used to terrify opponents much the same way Billy Whitehurst did - getting sent off at a drop ball versus Huddersfield Town was a big highlight

[German Rover]

Mark hume came from barnsley if i remember right.

[Dutch Uncle]

Martin Ferguson, brother of Sir Alex, signed for us from Barnsley ca 1966

[AlonzoDrake]

Probably one of our greatest ever keepers, Andy Rhodes came from Oakwell in 1985. Also Dave Mulligan in 2003, and Dave Cotterill in 2012 -- and my Dad's favorite player, Eddie McMorran who Doherty signed from Barnsley in 1952.

[roversdude]

Was going to add Iain Hume but think we got him from somewhere else

[Surrey Rover]

Glyn Riley came in on loan season 79/80 as did Colin Walker around about 1983.

[Herbert Anchovy]

Winston Campbell on loan in 1983

Loved watching him in a Rovers shirt. Like you say, hard as nails but I remember him taking one of the weakest penalties I have seen against Fulham. Everyone expected him to smash it in the net.

Love Alan Little. Him and Snodin were a formidable midfield pair!!

Amputated at the knee’s would be an accurate description, Animal was sent off and the other player left the field on a stretcher

[Draytonian III]

Micky Kennedy I think was the Huddersfield player

I can see him now in my minds eye , the great Alan Little playing for us in the old fourth division , crunching tackles and scoring some thunderbolts .

I wonder how he'd go on today with the game as it is , last about five minutes I reckon .

They don't make them  like Alan Little these days that's for sure .

[LincsRover]

Didn’t we get the worst Brazilian footballer of all time, Denis Souza, from Barnsley?? That went well! 🤪

[roversdude]

The only Brazilian who couldn’t play football lol

Animal kicked anything above grass height a proper mester

[jackthelad]

Possibly one of the worst players we've ever had in my opinion. He was absolutely dreadful.

Think it was Sheff United away where he had a absolute mare and then went and got sent off.

[Chris Black come back]

Would slot him in alongside Tomi Ameobi and that loan lad from Fulham, Timlin.
