That's gotta be the best feeling i've had in my 20 yrs as a reds fan and theres been some good uns. Fuckin mint. Pure quality. Talk about raw emotion when we knew we were up after Marcelle scored. If we one day do get back to Premiership it'll never surpass that extraordinary feeling us true fans experienced that amazing afternoon. Fuckin magic.
Great memories. I remember John Dennis turning white at the realisation that we had gone up. He was terrified, and was the architect of a concerted effort to get us back down again - and quick. The man was only happy when we were playing the likes of Torquay on a damp tuesday night.
Perhaps you should get out more then, as what i say is quite accurate. Our spell in the top flight was nothing more than a joke with 7-0 defeats on an almost weekly basis. When Danny Wilson left John got what he was happy with - a mediocre club, again. I note we just missed relegation this season. Again. Even Ridsdale could save us from sinking.
Dennis has not been involved for about 7 years , so maybe it you that should get down to Oakwell again. Just how many 7-0 results were there then?.Bet you cany find more than 1.a couple of other big scores against, but some bloody good results too.
Just so that you know, Patrick Cryne is now the Owner and Simon Davey is the manager. Nothing to do with Ridsdale.
still brings a lump to the throat when i see this, all those years of the begrudgers saying we didn't want to go up. It was so tense 2nd half even though we were 1 up, the joy when this hit the back of the net and the realisation dawning on me 2 seconds later that we were going up was amazing and pure ecstasy. Thanks for posting this mate.
i was there .. and its best moment ov mi life from watching tarn play same as alot ov tarn fans i was only nine but it was a special day for me wen i got daivd watsons top and nicky edens top there in a frame now
very interesting, yeah i heard of barnsley in fifa 07 when i played against them as crystal palace nardiello scored on me 3 times, i know you guys are in the division right under the premiership, 21st place? not in relegation zone, best of luck to u!
@ ersatz - no mate. That was the day we got promoted to the Premiership - the top tier of domestic football in England. We were relegated the next season but we didn't care a damn. For a club the size of ours to mix with the big hitters just for one year was something amazing. Bear in mind the club was founded 120 years ago and it's never happened before or since. Heady times indeed.
Wonderful moment. Barnsley forever

Marcelle was a good find. Trinidad has had some decent players from time to time.
