Good or bad...... players we can all argue about!

[ruins]

Nicky peverill was a pleasure to watch a true natural goal scorer, still don't think we've had a better forward since

A superb player. Morton another. Brady too. All loved a good slurp too.

Mentions of whittaker in this thread, he was very good. I have to say though. Cowps aside pevz is probably up there with the best I've seen watching Barrow. [SwearFilter] good dj too

And bishop. He was a good keeper.

Decent side that mid-late 90-s team. Eddie Johnson, Dave Higgins, Mike Marsh, Gary Bauress. Neil Morton was a great player for us.

That was my most enjoyable time watching Barrow. What would we give for Eddie in the team now. Always remember him stood on the old dug out on the pop side.

Anyone remember franny ventre?

That was a real team

As this is about players to invoke 'argument' (and not just players we like) I would offer the following.
Simon Bishop - one of my all-time fave players and keepers but I can't overlook his Tommy Robinson fixation.
Mark Hume - still the hardest CB I think we have had and a great captain. A long way from everyone's favourite though.
Phil Bolland - A passable defender but a bloody hopeless captain in my opinion.
Steve McNulty - For me, our best NL defender and can still do a great job. I think he's been harshly treated by a portion of our fans.
Andy Howarth - some people would be forgiving him until the present day but he isn't even a footballer on his mother's side. Woeful.
'Lazy' Danny Rowe - he had a torrid time here but I honestly thought he was a class above what we had.
Byron Harrison - I think he is every bit as lazy as the aforementioned. Has a nice touch but he's nowhere near as good as he imagines he is.
Paddy Lacey - never liked him much. A thug rather than a hard player.
Darren Sheridan - Can't take away his great influence on the pitch and his managerial stats...but he was just a yellow/red card waiting to happen and a liability.
Adi Yussuf - I still think there is a lot, lot more to come from this fella. There have only been glimpses of it but I would build the front line around him.

Only remember stuff from the late 70s onwards, so I'll just give keeper Kev (tracky bottoms) Thomas a mention, along with Alan Cook on the wing, and I also thought Frankie Gamble was superb, as was the goalscoring machine that was Barry Diamond for that glorious 83/84 season.
In later years, I thought Kenny Lowe and Wayne Bullimore were class acts.

Andy Burns.... A heart like a lion who sweated and gave blood for the Barrow AFC cause as did Mike Pearson and (Jonah) Paul Jones, my type of players. Mark Boyd and Andy Bond were decent footballers. But the best has to be Steve McNulty in my time of being a regular.
Agree with Hoss regarding Adi Yussuf, but only time will tell to see if it's allowed to happen.

Think the lad on the right was something Horrigan. Lee maybe.
