The Chief Executive 

KHALED 

EL-AHMAD 

Good afternoon Reds, 

Welcome back to Oakwell for 

another Sky Bet Championship 

matchday, our second at home this 

week. 

I understand that Wednesday night 

wasn’t the result that we wanted 

or envisaged against Nottingham 

Forest, but I know the qualities that 

this team possess. I am confident 

that we can start earning positive 

results – starting this afternoon 

against Millwall. 

A warm welcome to our visitors 

from the Den, I hope you’ve had a 

safe journey to South Yorkshire and 

I’m looking forward to an exciting 

encounter once the game gets 

underway. 

I know the history of this fixture 

and that these have been special 

occasions, particularly for Barnsley 

supporters, over the past few years. 

The 2016 play-off final will always 

live long in the memory for you, 

and it is an example of what can be 

achieved when everyone is working 

in tandem. 

The Club had taken 21 points from 

22 games, a run that included an 

eight-match losing sequence, but 

we rallied and finished sixth in the 

table before earning promotion at 

Wembley. Impossible is nothing. 

By remaining positive in these 

challenging situations, we will see 

opportunities to progress and show 

our true character, rather than 

being prevented from reaching our 

true potential by stumbling over 

obstacles, instead. 

Now is the time when everyone at 

the Club needs to pull together and 

show the Barnsley spirit that I have 

heard so much about. 

I had the pleasure of meeting 

some supporters at the Garrison on 

Tuesday evening and had a chance 

to explain more about myself as 

an individual, my values and my 

ambitions for the Club moving 

forward. 

Having listened to you on the night 

and discussed many eventualities, I 

know that this is a town with good 

people, who are passionate about 

the Club that they love, and I want 

to do everything I can to help make 

the matchday experience as good 

as we possibly can. 

I end this message by placing my 

thanks on record to Craig Sedgwick 

and Kevin Pilkington, who will be 

in the Reds dugout for the final 

time this afternoon. They have 

both served Barnsley Football Club 

with distinction and extraordinary 

professionalism during their time 

here, and we all wish them every 

success for the future. 

Enjoy the game, Reds!

CRAIG 

SEDGWICK 

Barnsley Football Club has been a part 

of my life since I first visited Oakwell as a 

seven year old. From then on, I became 

a Red. For that young boy to spend the 

last 13 years working for his hometown 

club, experiencing countless magical 

moments shoulder to shoulder with 

friends, it’s almost unthinkable. 

Amongst a host of others, I’d like to thank 

the Cryne family for initially believing 

in me to fulfil the role of first team 

physiotherapist. From play-off finals, to 

end of season dramas, I class myself as 

fortunate to have been a part of MY club’s 

successful history. However, it is with 

great sadness that I write this, as my time 

at Oakwell has now come to an end… yet 

I am comforted knowing that Barnsley FC 

will always be in my heart and a part of 

my heritage. 

There are so many great people behind 

the scenes that consistently go above 

and beyond. These are ‘proper’ people 

that would do anything to help anyone 

out. If those individuals are reading this, 

I have enjoyed my time with you and 

have come to love you all. I am sorry I 

can’t name you, but you know who you 

are. From the bottom of my heart, I thank 

you for being a part of my journey at 

Barnsley, it wouldn’t have been the same 

without you. 

I leave the department in the hands of 

Vikki Stevens. She is excellent at what she 

does and will take things to the next level. 

Vikki, thank you for being a rock to lean 

on during tougher times and know that 

regardless of where I am, I’ll always be 

there to return the favour. 

Thank you to all staff and players, past 

and present, too. I have been so lucky 

to get to know these people and their 

families. As I’m sure you can imagine, I’ve 

got so many stories from my time and I’ll 

never forget a single one! 

The current squad we have at Barnsley 

are outstanding people and excellent 

footballers. They all give so much to get 

the three points, I wish fans could see how 

much they truly care at times. 

I would like to finish by saying that I wish 

Barnsley Football club every success in 

the future, and I am looking forward to 

attending games as a fan with my own 

family. Good luck this season. 

I will miss Oakwell immensely. 

COME ON YOU REDS!

Giving Football Back to 

Small Business 

At eBay, we know small business and 

football clubs used to be like chips and 

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match 

made in community heaven. 

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring 

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs 

which decades later are still prospering. 

But nowadays, you’d think it was all 

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues 

and mega sponsors, detached from the 

humble origins of our historic clubs. 

That’s why eBay are proud to support 

300,000 small businesses who help 

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be 

donating our advertising space to a lot 

of these businesses – on match day 

hoardings, around grounds and beyond – 

throughout the coming season, to ensure 

they can continue to thrive in our local 

communities. So, join us in giving your 

support to Small Business Power, because 

today, they need us more than ever. 

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

The Big Interview 

BEN 

WILLIAMS

ne year and one day ago, Ben 

Williams was lying on an operating 

table having surgery on his ruptured 

anterior cruciate ligament in his left 

knee. 

He admits that those weeks and months were 

the darkest of his life as he struggled to cope with 

the devastation of being ruled out for an entire 

campaign and realising how difficult the road 

ahead would be. 

It has been quite the journey for Benj, as we here 

at Grove Street affectionately call him. From 

learning how to walk again to running on the 

grass once more, and finally getting back into 

action, we’ve been with him every step of the 

way. 

That, of course, is only the physical aspect of 

his recovery – the mental challenge that our 

tenacious young full-back undertook was 

something he never thought he’d have to 

experience, but he came through it in typical Ben 

fashion: battling and committed. 

12 

And to see him back doing what he loves after 

missing a whole season, knowing how hard 

he has worked and what he had overcome, is 

enough to put a smile on anyone’s face. 

The big moment came in our first pre-season 

outing at Rochdale on 14 July as Ben was 

introduced at half-time, getting his first minutes 

in more than a year and looking like he’d never 

been away. 

“It was big in terms of just getting it out of the 

way,” he reflected. “I was looking forward to it – 

don’t get me wrong – but it’s something where 

you want to come out unscathed, really. 

“But once I was out there, any doubts that I had 

in my head had gone out of the window and it 

was just good to go out there and express myself 

on the pitch because I hadn’t done it in such a 

long time, and it was just a great feeling.” 

Appearances against Sheffield Wednesday, 

Morecambe and Manchester City – up against 

Riyad Mahrez, of all players – would follow as he 

continued to build his match fitness ahead of our 

Sky Bet Championship opener at Cardiff City. 

Some might have thought he was a surprise 

inclusion in Markus Schopp’s first starting 11 of 

the new term, but those on the inside who had 

seen his performances during training sessions 

and in friendlies didn’t bat an eyelid. 


“In pre-season, you get a bit of a feel for how 

you’re going to start the season,” discussed Ben, 

running a hand through his hair. “I think I’d been 

in and out in a few of the games, but I’d worked 

hard in the off-season to get myself up to full 

fitness and I think I earnt my way into the team. 

“I thought I gave a good account of myself and I 

thought, as a team, we started the season well. 

“Obviously, it doesn’t get much tougher than that 


13 

in terms of opening day games – Cardiff are a 

massive team with a massive budget, and it was 

one of the first games back with fans and I think 

that played a massive part in it, having the away 

support there, which is always great – especially 

for the players. 

“For me, personally, it was massive; it was 

obviously another mental target that I ticked off. 

The hard work that I put in to get back was crazy, 

really, it’s probably one of the toughest years of 


my life in terms of overcoming such a negative 

hurdle. 

“But I’ve come back now and I feel mentally 

stronger, physically stronger and I’m in a good 

place, now. For me, I just want to play and help 

the team as much as I can and, hopefully, get a 

run of games in the team.” 

Perhaps the most important thing for the 

22-year-old, though, was ensuring that he came 


14 

back with enough confidence to approach every 

tackle in the same full-blooded nature that he 

always has done. 

It can be easy to shy out of challenges for fear of 

potentially causing further damage to yourself, 

but that thought has never once crossed Ben’s 

mind and he remains as aggressive as ever when 

winning the ball back. 

That all boils down to his character; the 

determination for self-improvement and striving 

to be the best that he can be. 


“I had many discussions with Sedgy and the 

physio team about how I wanted to come back 

and I don’t think I ever doubted that I would 

come back just as strong, but I had a target in 

my head to come back even stronger,” continued 

Benj. 

“The amount of gym work I’d done just to give 

myself the best chance of coming back in a 

great shape. As desperate as I was to come back 

last season, there was no real pressure because 

we were doing so well and getting results and 

getting to the play-offs that it allowed me to just 


Thankfully, the severity of the tackle was minimal 

and Benj was back in training a week later, but 

he believes it is all just part and parcel of the 

game. 

“It was obviously a bit of déjà vu, to be honest,” 

he recalled. “It was a really strong challenge 

– I’ve given out a few of them in my time, so I 

understand. I’ve watched it back quite a few 

times and I don’t think there was any malice in it, 

to be honest. 

“But it was obviously frustrating for me because, 

to be back in the team, I wanted to get a run of 

games and help the team as much as possible 

and to come off early in a game like that was 

frustrating, especially after being out all last 

season. 

“There was a little bit of nerves and worry just 

waiting around for the results but, luckily, I was 

fortunate to come out with little more than a bit 

of bone bruising. I’m always trying to be back as 

soon as possible, so as soon as I found out it was 

nothing serious, I was itching to get back out on 

the pitch.” 

We asked Ben what went through his head in 

the immediate aftermath of that tackle as he 

hobbled gingerly down the tunnel at the Vitality 

Stadium to be assessed by our medical team. 

15 

Did he fear the worst, after everything that he 

had already been through in the last 12 months, 

or was he just hoping for the best? 

“There was that worry,” he admitted. “There 

was a bit of talk with the physios that, as a 

precaution, they wanted to get me in a boot 

straight away. When you’ve got a boot on there’s 

always that doubt in your head that it could be 

something serious and you could be out for a 

while here. 

focus on my recovery and get myself back up to 

speed so I could hit the ground running as soon 

as I was declared fit.” 

A few weeks ago, there was an almighty scare 

during our game at Bournemouth when Philip 

Billing lunged in above the ball and took Ben out 

at shin height. 

It was a heart-in-mouth moment as our left-back 

writhed in agony with fears that he could have 

potentially suffered a broken leg, such was the 

force of the challenge. 


“I was speaking to a few of the boys and they 

were telling me not to worry about it until I got 

my results, but it’s easier said than done. But I’m 

just fortunate that it was something of nothing. 

“It would have been tough, had it been another 

serious injury. You can always say that you’ve 

dealt with worse, but any footballer doesn’t want 

to be in the physio room. We work hard each day 

and we’re just fortunate that we can call this our 

job, really. 

“But it’s something I would have overcome again. 

I had targets for this season to be a big one in 

terms of getting a run of games and having 


as much impact on the team as possible – just 

making up for lost time. 

“So, I’m lucky it wasn’t anything serious.” 

You will have noticed Ben and his fellow wingbacks 

pushing further forward during the game 

as they aim to stretch the pitch and make the 

game as expansive as possible. 

The idea is to have more bodies in the attacking 

third in order to create more goal scoring 

opportunities, with our wide players providing 

another outlet and generatng overloads in 

certain areas. 

It is a role that the full-back relishes playing and 

he has shown in his four appearances so far this 

term that he can be a decent outlet when going 

forward with his dangerous crosses into the box. 

16 

“I’ve been working on it a lot,” revealed Ben. “A lot 

of the sessions during training in the week involve 

wing-backs being quite high and, if you don’t get 

in those areas, you can’t get the crosses or score 

the goals that the gaffer wants us to do. 

“He wants us to be involved in the build-up 

and final third action as much as possible and, 

for me, it’s just good to find myself in those 

positions more than I have in recent years. So, 

I’m sure I can pop up with a few assists, given the 

opportunity. 

“I love that position; I played it quite a few times 

when I was younger and I’ve always been the 

type of player that enjoys going forward as 

well as doing the basics right and getting my 

defensive duties done correctly. 

“The gaffer speaks regularly to wing-backs and 

lets them know where he wants them and what 

his plan is for them during the game. We all know 

where we should be in certain areas of the pitch 

and, for me, I enjoy playing that position and 

want to cement it.” 

Ben is now just 10 appearances shy of reaching 

the half century mark in all competitions for 

Barnsley, not a bad return considering he was 

sidelined for the 20/21 campaign. 

He will be hoping to reach that milestone this 

season, although his main focus is on turning our 

fortunes around on the pitch rather than personal 

accolades. 

“I had been told off a few people that I’m getting 

close to that,” he said. “Obviously, it’d be nice to 


get past that sooner rather than later, but for me 

I think it’s just about focussing on the task on the 

pitch and getting results rather than focussing on 

individual milestones because that’s just a bonus. 

“To get a run of games in the team is the aim for 

any player and, for me, it’s just about staying fit 

and giving myself the best chance to do that. 

Obviously, you’ve got to perform on the pitch to 

be able to keep that place in the team. 

“I feel confident that, given the opportunity, I 

can do that. It’s just a case of being patient and, 


17 

when the opportunity comes, I’ve got to grab it 

with both hands.” 

Like any professional footballer, Ben harbours 

ambitions of playing on the international stage 

and, having featured for Wales at youth level 

– including winning the Victory Shield in 2014 

– and been part of senior squads for European 

Championship qualifiers in 2019, he is keen to get 

back in the fold. 

The talent is there, it is a matter of consistency 

and regular action for the 22-year-old, but he can 


use his teammate, Michał Helik, as inspiration of 

what can be achieved when you play frequently 

in the Championship. 

“Being out injured last season means that I’ve got 

a lot of work to catch up on, but my main priority 

is cementing a spot in Barnsley’s team and to put 

on some good performances,” insisted Ben. 

“If the international call-up comes with it, brilliant, 

but, if not, then I’m just happy to help Barnsley as 

much as possible. 


18 

“Obviously, Mich had an incredible season and 

fully deserved his call-up. It was great to see him 

in the squad at the Euros and I think every player 

stives to do that for their country but, like I said, 

the international call-up will come with good club 

performances and that’s what I’ve got to do to 

earn that. 

“So, that’s my main aim, at the moment.” 

Unfortunately, results haven’t been going our way 

in recent weeks, with Wednesday evening’s defeat 

at home to Nottingham Forest another bitter pill to 

swallow as the Reds dropped to 21st in the table. 

It’s not for lack of trying – quite the contrary – 

and Ben is hopeful that this disappointing run 

of form will end soon, starting with the visit of 

Millwall. 

“We’re going through a bit of a rough patch, at 

the minute,” he conceded. “It’s obviously tough to 

take as players and staff, as well. We seem to be 

working on stuff on the training ground and it’s 

just not falling into place for us on the pitch at the 

moment, but to be fair, everyone is buying into it. 

“The morale in the dressing room is still high – if 

you look back to where we were at this point 



There is slight reason to be optimistic heading 

into this clash with Millwall – we are unbeaten 

in our last four meetings with the Lions, with 

two wins and two draws in our previous 

encounters. 

Perhaps the most memorable of those fixtures 

was back in December 2019 as Patrick Schmidt 

nodded home a dramatic late winner at the 

Den to secure three massive points. 

However, Ben feels that you can’t dwell 

on those moments, and it’s all about 

concentrating on the next task at hand and 

getting a positive result heading into the 

international break. 

“I don’t think you can talk too much about 

past results because it’s a new team and 

they’ll have new players who have come in 

that won’t be as aware of previous results,” 

asserted Benj. “I don’t think we take much 

notice of results we’ve had against opposition 

in the past. 

“I think it’s just a case of sticking to the game 

plan. As long as we stick to the game plan 

we’ll give ourselves the best chance of coming 

away with the points. 

19 

“They’re obviously a tough team to play, but 

we’re confident that, being at home with the 

fans behind us that we can put on a good 

show and come away with the points. 

“If you look at it, the table is pretty tight, so if 

you win one game, you climb probably seven 

or eight places, so I don’t think we should 

be too worried at the moment. But we’re 

confident in games that we have played that 

we probably could have won them, it’s just a 

case of taking your chances, being clinical and 

keeping it tight at the back. 

last season, I still feel that we’ve got the ability to 

climb back up and reach the heights that we did 

last season. 

“That’s the motivation that we’ve got to use now, 

going into this game. 

“The lads are pretty confident that we are going 

to turn the results around and work our way back 

up the league, and we have to because we’ve 

got the quality in the team to do just that. So, it’s 

just a case of sticking to the game plan, everyone 

working hard for each other and I’m sure the 

results will pay off soon.” 


“We can’t sit around and mope about it; 

we’ve got to get our heads right and focus 

on Saturday. It’s the next opportunity to put it 

right and get three points. 

“I think everyone is frustrated and we 

understand the fans are frustrated because 

they have to watch this, but at the moment it’s 

just not clicking for us on the pitch. We’re eager 

to put it right and put it right quickly because 

we’re just slipping further down the table. 

“But we need to stick together as a group 

because we’ve been in this situation before 

and know how to get out of it.”

MILLWALL

RIGHT: Matt Smith celebrates 

scoring the opening goal with 

his team-mates against 

Nottingham Forest. 

BELOW: George Saville in action 

again Blackburn Rovers. 

22 

t hasn’t been the ideal start to the 21/22 

Sky Bet Championship season for the 

Lions, who have become something 

of a draw specialist so far. With just 

the one victory to their name at the time this 

publication went to print, Gary Rowett’s side 

will be looking to find that winning formula 

sooner rather than later. 

The London club had a fairly quiet summer in 

terms of transfer activity. The standout piece 

of business no doubt being the re-signing of 

midfielder George Saville. After three years 

away (with Middlesbrough), the Northern Ireland 

international came back to The Den in July. 

Former Arsenal striker Benik Afobe joined the 

Lions on loan from Stoke City, whilst Liverpool 

midfielder Sheyi Ojo arrived on deadline day in 

another loan deal. 

Familiar faces to Reds fans, Bartosz Białkowski 

(loan spell in 2009), Tom Bradshaw (2016-2019) 

and Connor Mahoney (loan spell in 2018) all 

remain at Millwall whilst the giant aerial threat 

that is Matt Smith continues to lead the line for 

the Lions. 

Whilst four of their last five fixtures were draws, 

it’s a run that sees Millwall unbeaten since defeat 


away at Cardiff City on August 21. They will 

have played Bristol City on home soil by the time 

you’re reading this edition of Grove Street, and 

it’s at The Den where they picked up their solitary 

victory when seeing off Blackpool 2-1 at the end 

of August. 

The Lions - like the Reds really - have suffered 


23 

through lack of options at times this season, with 

the likes of Jed Wallace and Mason Bennett the 

latest names missing from their last fixture, whilst 

captain Shaun Hutchinson only recently returned 

from injury. 

The Reds had the edge in this fixture last season, 

with a 1-1 draw in the capital backed up by a 


2-1 Oakwell triumph courtesy of Michał Helik’s 

exquisite second half volley. 

In terms of recent years, Barnsley have racked 

up seven wins from the last 11 meetings in all 

competitions, with our last defeat here in South 

Yorkshire coming in March of 2018 when the 

Lions won out 2-0 at a snowy Oakwell.

The Lions Manager 

GARY ROWETT 

25 

ow approaching his two-year 

anniversary in charge of the Lions, 

Gary Rowett is currently trying to 

arrest his first poor run of form. With 

Millwall ending the previous campaign with 

four defeats from their final six matches, 

they’ve also struggled for success in this 

opening stage of 21/22, with just the one 

victory to their name heading into this 

afternoon’s clash here at Oakwell. 

The 47-year-old from Bromsgrove had a solid 

playing career as a no-nonsense defender, 

spending most of his time in the top two 

divisions of English football with the likes of 

Birmingham City, Derby County and Leicester 

City. 

His coaching career began in 2012 when 

appointed Burton Albion boss and he would 

lead the Brewers to back-to-back League Two 

play-off campaigns, both unsuccessful, having 

been edged out by Bradford City in the 2013 

semi-final before reaching the final a year later, 

only to lose out to Fleetwood Town at Wembley. 

In October of 2017 he took up a job offer from 


former club Birmingham, and transformed their 

fortunes in the Championship in spectacular 

style, guiding them to a 10th place finish having 

taken charge of a Blues side in the relegation 

zone upon appointment. 

Despite leading Blues to 7th in the table by 

December of 2016, he was bizarrely sacked 

by the club’s new ownership group and had 

done enough to earn the top job at another 

former club in Derby, where he led the Rams to 

the play-offs back in 2018, only to lose out to 

Fulham over two legs in the semi-finals. 

An eight month spell at Stoke City was next, 

where despite spending plenty of money to try 

and get the newly-relegated Premier League 

outfit instantly back amongst the big boys, he 

was dismissed in January of 2019 after a poor 

run of results. 

This is his third season in charge at The Den 

and he has so far led the Lions to an 8th and 

11th place finish at this level, with much to do to 

improve the club’s fortunes after a start to the 

season that sees them down in the bottom third 

alongside the Reds.

Ron Gray managed Millwall to the Fourth Division 

title in 1961-62. A former wing-half with Sheffield 

United and Watford, he was manager of the 

Hornets during the 1950-51 season. He became 

Millwall's trainer and replaced Charlie Hewitt 

as the Lions' manager from January 1956 until 

January 1958. Returning to The Den as boss in 

January 1961, he surprised fans by selling leading 

scorer Peter Burridge to Crystal Palace and was 

sacked in November 1963. He spent four years 

as Lincoln City's manager, then became Ipswich 

Town's chief scout in September 1970 and resided 

in Ipswich until his death in October 2002.

guided Millwall to promotion in two consecutive 

seasons. Initially with Leyton Orient, he moved 

to Chelsea in March 1949 and appeared in two 

losing FA Cup semi-finals. He joined Burnley in 

August 1953, then Nottingham Forest in June 

1957, featuring in their 1959 FA Cup final triumph.

in May 1966, then managed Notts County and 

coached Fulham. Later returning to Nottingham 

Forest as groundsman, he died in April 2014. 

BENNY FENTON

to the top-flight in 1971-72. A former wing-half, 

he played alongside his elder brother Ted at 

West Ham before moving to Millwall in March 

1939. He netted seven goals in 20 League games 

prior to joining Charlton Athletic in January 1947, 

then became Colchester United's player-boss in 

February 1955. Plotting their 1961-62 promotion 

success, he took charge of Leyton Orient in 

October 1963 and was appointed Millwall's 


manager in May 1966. He guided them to the FA 

Cup fifth round in 1972-73 but resigned in October 

1974 and became Charlton's secretary. He died in 

July 2000. 

GORDON JAGO

coached Fulham. He managed Baltimore Bays 

before taking charge of QPR in January 1971, 

guiding them back to the top-flight in 1972-73. 

Appointed Millwall's manager in October 1974,

Rowdies to two consecutive NASL Soccer Bowl 

triumphs, briefly rejoining QPR before coaching 

Dallas Sidekicks and California Surf. 

GEORGE GRAHAM 

George Graham plotted Millwall's 1984- 

85 promotion success. A former Scotland 

international, he moved from Aston Villa to 

Chelsea in July 1964 and joined Arsenal in 

September 1966, starring as they won the Fairs 

Cup in 1970 and the 'double' in 1970-71. After 

spells with Manchester United, Portsmouth and 

Crystal Palace, he coached QPR before becoming 

Millwall's boss in December 1982. He guided 

the Lions to the FA Cup sixth round in 1984-85, 

returning to Arsenal as manager in May 1986. 

Leading the Gunners to all three major domestic 

honours and the ECWC in 1994, he then managed 

Leeds United and Spurs. 

JOHN DOCHERTY 

John Docherty managed Millwall to the Second 

Division title in 1987-88. Initially with St Roch's, the 

winger had three spells at Brentford, also playing 

for Sheffield United and Reading, helping the 


Bees win promotion in 1971-72. He coached QPR 

prior to rejoining Brentford again as manager in 

January 1975, becoming Cambridge United's boss 

in January 1978. Plotting promotion that season, 

he was Brentford's assistant-boss before taking 

charge of Millwall in July 1986. He led them to 

tenth in the top-flight in 1988-89 and remained 

at The Den until February 1990, then managed 

Bradford City and briefly Millwall again. 

MARK McGHEE 

Former Scotland international striker Mark 

McGhee guided Millwall to the Second Division 

title in 2000-01. Starting with Bristol City, he 

played for Morton and Newcastle before moving 

to Aberdeen in March 1979 and starred as they 

won the Scottish League and ECWC. He joined 

Hamburg in May 1984, then won further honours 

with Celtic and rejoined Newcastle in July 1989. 

Later Reading's player-boss, he also managed 

Leicester and Wolves, taking charge of Millwall in 

September 2000. He led them to the First Division 

play-offs in 2001-02, then managed Brighton, 

Motherwell (twice), Bristol Rovers and Barnet. 

NEIL HARRIS 

Neil Harris managed Millwall to two consecutive 

League One play-off finals including their 2017 

triumph. Previously with Cambridge City, the striker 

moved to The Den in March 1998 and was leading 

marksman in Millwall's 2000-01 Second Division 

title triumph. He also appeared in the 2004 FA Cup 

final and moved to Nottingham Forest in December 

2004. Rejoining Millwall in January 2007, he starred 

in their 2009-10 League One play-off final success 

and netted a club record 124 goals in 374 League 

games overall, moving to Southend in July 2011. He 

managed Millwall from March 2015 until October 

2019, then Cardiff City. 

DENNIS WISE

managed Millwall to the 2004 FA Cup final. 

Initially with Southampton, he joined Wimbledon 

in March 1985, helping clinch promotion to 

the top-flight in 1985-86. He starred as the 

Dons won the FA Cup in 1988 and moved to 

Chelsea in July 1990. Captaining European 

and domestic successes before joining 

Leicester in July 2001, he became Millwall's 

player-boss in December 2003 and netted 

seven goals in 85 League games for the 

Lions. He joined Southampton in August

RESTART A HEART 

Footballer’s cardiac arrest highlights 

importance of life-saving CPR and 

defibrillation 

Barnsley Football Club has teamed 

up with Yorkshire Ambulance Service 

(YAS) to promote the importance of CPR 

following Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest 

during the Euro 2020 tournament. 

Swift action was crucial to Eriksen’s survival 

when the 29-year-old midfielder collapsed 

during Denmark’s opening game against 

Finland on 12 June. He was brought back to life 

with a combination of CPR - cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation that involves chest compressions - 

and an electric shock from a defibrillator. 

Reds’ fans will be given the opportunity to learn 

CPR from ambulance staff at today’s match. 

Watch out for the CPR Anywhere video on the big 

screens and check out the players and Toby Tyke in 

their Restart a Heart campaign t-shirts! 

Jason Carlyon, Community Engagement Manager 

with YAS, said: “The quick reaction of witnesses 

undoubtedly saved Christian Eriksen’s life, as was 

the case with Fabrice Muamba, Glen Hoddle and 

David Ginola who are also cardiac arrest survivors. 

“But not everyone is as fortunate. In the UK, 

only 10% of people who suffer a cardiac 

arrest outside hospital survive, partly 

because they don’t receive early CPR 

and defibrillation. 

“With only one in three people in England 

performing CPR when they witness a 

cardiac arrest, it’s important that we give 

people the confidence and skills to save someone’s 

life in this medical emergency. 

“More patients will survive if more people know 

what to do before an ambulance arrives, so we are 

delighted that Barnsley Football Club is supporting 

our campaign and helping us to create more lifesavers.” 

Ambulance staff and volunteers will visit 109 

Yorkshire’s secondary schools to teach CPR to 

30,000 students on Restart a Heart Day (Friday 15 

October 2021). Find out more, including CPR tutorial 

videos, at restartaheart.yas.nhs.uk 

The Restart a Heart campaign is supported by 

the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity. Text

ome might call it a modern injustice, 

others see the unsung hero as a 

typically good old British way 

of knuckling down for the cause 

without fanfare; something which seems to 

be of huge value to our little island. 

Many have been posthumously recognised 

for their contributions, albeit too late in some 

people’s eyes. 

Alan Turing, the man credited with breaking 

the enigma code in WWII and ultimately 

turning the tide in the favour of the allies. Never 

recognised when he was alive due to the 

classified nature of his work, disgraced due to 

archaic laws, the Queen officially recognised 

him in 2013, some 61 years after he died. 

Peter Taylor, Brian Clough’s not-so famous 

assistant who is generally considered to be 

the man that looked after the football while 

Cloughie did the man management. With 

league championships, league cups and 

European cups on his CV, he will always be 

recognised as a number 2. 

Murdoch from the A-Team, Howling Mad as 

he was known, they had to break him out of 

the veteran’s hospital every time someone 

found them when no one else could help. 

We all wanted to be BA, we wanted to drive 

Face Man’s Corvette and make a plan like 

Hannibal, but without a spiked glass of milk 

and Murdoch’s skills as a pilot, they’d have not 

got anywhere fast. 

And so that brings me to………. 

GEORGE WILLIAMS 

UNSUNG 

Us Reds fans aren’t fresh faced when it comes 

to strange goings-on down at Oakwell. We 

have a dog as a mascot that once received 

HEROES 

Neil Richardson 

a touchline ban for obscene gestures, whose 

girlfriend looked like something off an episode 

of Only Fools and Horses for goodness sake. 

But the 2015/16 season was something to 

behold. The season before this held so much 

in the way of hopes of a rebuild, a fresh start, 

Danny Wilson back at the helm, we felt like it 

was going to be the beginning of something 

great again. Which it was, but we just had to 

wait 18 months to get there. 

The first three months of that season, well, 

to say we couldn’t get going would be an 

understatement. The manager didn’t seem 

to be able to settle on a formation, or know 

which his best team was. We played loanees 

that simply didn’t fit the bill and it saw us rock 

bottom of League One by November. Then 

something happened…we re-signed Adam 

Hammill and something just clicked. With the 

rest of the squad. 

An unlikely candidate emerged in the form of 

George Williams; a young lad who we had 

signed from Worcester City where he was 

playing part-time whilst studying for a degree 

at university. Somewhere, the spreadsheet that 

we didn’t know much about at this time was 

springing into action. By Christmas, we were 

climbing the table and George had cemented 

his place in a team that virtually picked itself, 

week in, week out. The rest as they say is 

history. Two victorious trips to Wembley, the 

first cup in living memory, promotion, our stock 

value rocketing and the small issue of a few 

players’ contracts being up for renewal. Sadly 

for the fans, the business side of George’s 

game couldn’t reach an agreement and he 

signed for MK Dons. We don’t know those 

shenanigans, it’s best left to the backroom 

staff, but George, the quiet lad we signed 

from non-league, had already done plenty to 

warrant the deserved title of an unsung hero. 

Pivotal, yet unassuming.

Academy Interview 

JOSIAH DYER 

45

he name Dyer holds cult status 

amongst Barnsley supporters, with 

iconic striker, Bruce, spending five 

seasons at Oakwell in the late 90s 

and early 00s. 

He plundered 70 goals for the Reds in all 

competitions following his move from Crystal 

Palace and struck up a formidable partnership 

with Neil Shipperley, amongst others, endearing 

himself to the home faithful. 

Now his son, Josiah, is making waves in our 

academy set-up, and Grove Street sat down 

with the youngster to get his verdict on how he 

feels his side are doing so far this campaign. 

46 

Like his father, the recently turned 17-yearold 

is a striker with a keen eye for goal, and 

he is eager to earn his own reputation as a 

prolific forward rather than being known for his 

heritage. 

“I wouldn’t say pressure is the word, I’d say it 

spurs me on and motivates me to go on and 

keep playing and scoring, because everyone 

says to me when I see them in the street ‘are 

you scoring goals like your dad?’ and that’s 

what I want to do – I want to go on and score 

more than him!” asserted Josiah. 

“As a striker, all you want to do is score goals, 

no matter how well you play – you want to play 

well, but goal scoring is the focus, and my dad 

loved scoring goals as well. So, when I go home 

and tell him, he’s buzzing for me. 

“That’s the motivating factor. 

“When I watch him and how well he did at 

Barnsley, I think ‘how can I replicate that and 

score even more?’” 

Of course, after deciding to pursue a career in 

the beautiful game, there was always likely to 

be plenty of additional coaching at home for 

Josiah as he honed his skills at a young age. 

And while there may be some similarities 

between his own style of play and his father’s, 



there are attributes that set them apart and 

perhaps unique qualities that our promising 

striker possesses. 

“My dad will say as well that I don’t really play 

like him – I’m a bit different; a bit more diverse in 

terms of being stronger, more physical and taller 

and I’ve got a decent range of goals, as well,” 

continued Josiah. 

“He always said he didn’t have a left foot and 

I’ve got a better left foot than him! So, I feel like I 

can comfortably use that a bit more. 

“It’s definitely about creating my own legacy 

and doing as much as I can to make the best for 

myself. 

“He’s had a massive influence. He never 

pressured me to play football or to play a 

certain position, it just happened to be God’s will 

that I was a striker. 

“I’m a striker and I enjoy scoring goals, and 

that’s a benefit to me. Ever since then, when I 

found that set position, he’s been giving me tips 

from movement, how to use my body, the way 

I approach the ball, the technique of striking a 

ball – all those things, he’s helped me with. 

“Now I’m in the older age group, whenever he 

watches me it’s constructive criticism all the 

time. Even if I do well, he’s buzzing for me, but 

it’s about how I can improve because he’s been 

there and done it, so it’s a real benefit for me.” 

As well as the strong relationship at home, 

Josiah is close with our Academy Manager, 

Bobby Hassell, who arrived at Oakwell as a 

player shortly after Bruce departed for Watford. 

Sir Bob, as he is affectionately known by Reds, 

is always on hand to offer advice and coaching 

tips to our fledgling stars, and his guidance 

has certainly helped aid your youngster’s 

development. 

“He’s helped it massively,” praised the 17-yearold. 

“One thing with Bobby is, he’s always 

going to be honest with you – he’s like that with 

everyone. I feel like that honesty and man-toman 

conversation that you can have with him 

about football is something that’s benefitted me 

massively because he always tells me how he 

feels I’ve done after and before. 

“He’ll tell me specifically what he wants to see 

and, if I’ve done it, you know straight away. He’s 

got good constructive criticism and, like I say, 

that’s all you can want as a player because you 

know if you’ve done well or not. 

“It’s about how you can build on it in the next 

game and how you can improve, and Bobby 

will always tell you.” 

The young striker has certainly been improving 

over the last couple of seasons as he’s worked 

his way through the age groups, making his 

U18s debut last term while still representing our 

U16s side. 

He bagged his first goal for Tom Harban’s team 

in a 4-3 victory over Birmingham City back in 

February – coming from the bench to net that 

all-important late winner. 

“Stepping up was hard, but it was a challenge 

that I relished and embraced because the 

physical side is what I enjoy,” he reflected. 

“Because of my size and strength, it’s always 

a battle with the centre-back and, at that age, 

there’s a lot more physical stuff, so that’s a plus 

and also it’s a bit quicker. 

“The players are smarter, so you could make a 

movement and trust that the midfielder is going 

to find you because you’ve made that run. 

Whereas at lower level, they might take a few 

extra touches and the chance could be gone. 

“But for me, as a striker – especially how we 

played last season with it being more direct – it 

was always physical, and my goal came from a 

header from a cross out wide. 

“Even at the end of that Birmingham game, 

Kieren unfortunately got injured and we had Nej 

in net, and the spirit and character of the boys 

just to go for the win – it was probably the first 

47 



48 

time that I felt like I understood what we were 

playing for because it’s a league. 

“At under 16s, you don’t play in a league or for 

points, but you could tell what we were playing 

for, and I remember coming off, blowing, and I’d 

only played 20 or 25 minutes.” 

Josiah is also off the mark for this season, 

too, having struck in the U18 Professional 

Development League Cup against Wigan 

Athletic last weekend. 

He was picked out by Fabio Jalo following a 

short corner routine before heading in from close 

range to give the young Reds a deserved 72nd 

minute lead. 

“Personally, it was amazing,” he beamed. “To 

play against a team like Wigan and score my 

first goal, it feels like getting something off my 

shoulders. As a striker, that’s what you want to 

do. 

“When I’m coming on the pitch, I’m being told to 

stay in between the sticks and wait for balls to 

come in, and that’s how the goal came. 

“It’s a dream for me to keep feeding off those 

crosses and, fortunately, I could do that. 

“I think, for the team, that was a massive boost 

because the coach said before the game that 

we never come here and win. We should have 

won the season before, but didn’t, so it’s about 

those fine little moments – that clinical edge. 

“We had that clinical edge; we scored and we 

were clinical at the back and defended our box 

really well. As a team, we pressed all over them 

and we were just committed. That’s what you’ve 

got to be when you go out there. 

“It’s hard, they’re physical and they like to talk 

and get in your head, but we did well as a team 

and it gives us motivation to play against those 

top teams in our league. Even though it was 

a cup match, it’ll be exactly the same in the 

league – if not harder – and we’ve got to match 

it.” 


Our U18s have hit a rich vein of form, winning 

their last four games in all competitions (please 

note, this was printed prior to their fixture against 

Sheffield United on 1 October) after getting off to a 

shaky start. 

The goals are flying in at the moment with 16 

bagged in just five league games, which makes it 

a dream if you’re a centre forward. 

“The way that we play is quite wide and expansive 

football – we switch the play and get it out to the 

wing-backs; they like to get goals, assists and balls 

into the box,” said Josiah. 

“When I come on, I’m being told to stay in between 

the sticks and it’s a dream for a striker to be 

feeding off balls or rebounds all the time.” 

As he just mentioned, crucial to the side’s attacking 

prowess are our flying wing-backs, Ben Hall and 

Hayden Pickard, who have been contributing 

goals and assists like they’re going out of fashion. 

The dynamic duo constantly provide that much 

needed width to open the pitch up and haven’t 

been shy when getting within shooting range, 

and Josiah is delighted with the number of 

opportunities they both create. 

“Hayden with his left foot is a bit unpredictable – 

he likes to cut inside sometimes and shoot but will 

also go down the line and cross it,” he discussed. 

“With Ben, he bombs it forward all the time and, 

when he gets the ball, it goes in the box straight 

away and I know what I’m going to get. 

“You can tell that Hayden has played at under 18s 

level before; he integrates in training with the older 

ones and it’s a bit more natural for him. You can 

see it on the pitch with him, too – it’s easy for him; 

he knows the system, knows the style of play and 

knows the coach, so it’s good for him.” 

There is a real belief amongst this crop of players 

that they can go one better this campaign and 

make a strong push for the end of season playoffs 

by finishing in the top two. 

That victory over Wigan has given the young 


Reds even more confidence, which can only be 

positive with so much football to be played over 

the coming months. 

“I feel like the togetherness we’ve got on that 

pitch is second to none, so no matter what 

challenge we come up against, we’re going 

to be ready because we played against a 

different set of teams – mixed bag, in terms of 

ability – travelling has been tough and different 

experiences, but we’ve come out on top in these 

last four games,” insisted Josiah. 

“We’ve played Watford, who I’ve never played 

against before, but we approached that game 

really well – aggressively with the same intent 

that we do in every game. We did the same 

thing against Wigan and kept a clean sheet. 

“In my opinion, we can come out on top against 

any team that we play against.” 

49 

Like any good striker, Josiah is hoping that he 

can make his own impression on games as the 

season goes on, although he hasn’t set himself 

any goals in particular in terms of how many he 

wants to score this term. 

He just wants to enjoy his football and take 

the chances when they come along, while 

continuing to learn day by day in a positive, 

thriving environment. 

“I’ve not set myself specific targets because, 

coming into your first year as a scholar, you 

don’t know what to expect in terms of the 

pressure, training every day, the games 

programme – it’s a lot different to before,” he 

affirmed. 

“So, I didn’t set specific targets because I don’t 

know how many games I’m going to play, but 

one thing I do set for myself every game is to go 

out there and make an impact. 

“Impact is the biggest thing, whether it’s winning 

a flick on to go and score, whether it be making 

a run to create space for a teammate, whether 

it be scoring a goal – that’s what I want to do 

every time I step on the pitch: make an impact.”

ollowing the conclusion of our Sky Bet 

Championship clash with Millwall, the 

international break will be upon us once 

more and the Reds won’t be back at 

Oakwell for another three weeks! 

That’ll be the visit of Sheffield United in the first 

South Yorkshire derby of the season on Sunday 

24 October, with away games at Reading and 

Middlesbrough prior to that clash. 

However, there is still plenty of football being 

played in non-league, and Grove Street has 

compiled a selection of fixtures from clubs in the 

local area if you still wish to go and indulge in 

some live sport. 

And, of course, our non-league clubs need your 

support more than ever! 

This Tuesday, Worsbrough Bridge are in Sheffield 

and Hallamshire Senior Cup action as they 

entertain fellow NCEL Division One outfit Nostell 

Miners Welfare in the second round. The two are 

also set to meet in the league at the end of this 

month, too (30 October). 

Also playing that evening are FC Halifax Town as 

they welcome fallen giants Notts County to the 

Shay in the National League. The Shaymen are in 

decent form and currently sit fifth in the table, with 

a crunch clash against league leaders Dagenham 

and Redbridge to come in late October. 



Further down the pyramid and into the 

NCEL Premier Division, two of our featured 

clubs go head-to-head as Hemsworth 

Miners Welfare host Penistone Church on 

Saturday 9 October. It has the makings of 

a fine encounter, with both sides needing a 

win to steer themselves clear of danger at 

the foot of the table. 

A week later, as we return to action at 

Reading, Athersley Rec welcome Silsden 

AFC to Sheerien Park. No doubt Pete 

and Alan would appreciate some bodies 

through the turnstiles to help cheer the 

Penguins on as they aim to pick up some 

crucial points. 

Unfortunately, there are no home fixtures 

for Frickley Athletic during this period, but 

if anyone fancies a jaunt to the seaside, 

the Blues travel to Bridlington Town on 

Tuesday 19 October. We really can’t sell it 

enough, can we? 

As aforementioned, we host the Blades 

a day later than originally scheduled 

and there are a couple of local teams in 

action at home on Saturday 23 October. 

Athersley Rec host Knaresborough Town, 

while Guiseley AFC entertain Chorley. 

Please see below a selection of fixtures. All games 

kick-off at 3pm unless otherwise stated. 

Tuesday 5 October 

FC Halifax Town v Notts County (7:45pm) 

Worsbrough Bridge v Nostell Miners Welfare (7:45pm) 

Saturday 9 October 

Armthorpe Welfare v Worsbrough Bridge 

FC Halifax Town v Weymouth

Guest Column 

BARRY 

MURPHY 



know we’re all disappointed about the 

result on Wednesday night – it was a 

big game against Nottingham Forest 

and one that we were all desperate to 

win. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. 

Although the table doesn’t make for particularly 

good reading at the moment, it’s still early days 

and there are a lot of points still to be won this 

season, so it’s important that we don’t write the 

Reds off just yet. 

If we have learnt anything about this team over 

the past few years, it’s that they have a neversay-die 

attitude and we have been in much 

worse positions than this in the past. 

You only have to look back a couple of seasons 

when it seemed as though we were dead and 

buried before going into lockdown, but we came 

back in the face of adversity and were fantastic 

for those last nine games. 

And when all looked lost, the Reds found a way 

to win – digging out results in the last seconds 

against Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the 

final two games of the season. 

56 

That’s what you call character. 

And the majority of the squad from that survival 

campaign are still at Oakwell now. They have 

the experience of going through that together 

and know what it’s all about, so you can’t tell me 

that they can’t turn their form around and start 

picking up points. 

This game against Millwall will be another tough 

one – they’re always difficult to play against, but 

if we get behind the lads from the first whistle, 

there’s no reason why we can’t get the win this 

afternoon. 

The supporters can make a huge difference 

today, so let’s show them that battling Barnsley 

spirit and help get the lads over the line! 

Enjoy the game!
