Over 20 years of writing about my club in Barnet matchday programmes, which sold to about 500 souls on a good day, now with this Blog Site everyone can read my ramblings, memories, interviews, experiences, features, guides to away grounds and pure love of everything Barnet Football Club. Enjoy and digest and tell your friends. Reckless - Potters Bar March 2014. Oh Yes, thank you to"Al" without whom.......that is all
LINVOY PRIMUS
Linvoy
was perhaps the finest centre back to wear Amber and Black over the
last 20 years We were fortunate to witness his early development as
a player before he successfully made the step up to Premiership level
with Portsmouth in 2000.
LEE HODGES
A
versatile player who formed exciting partnerships with both Dougie
Freedman and Sean Devine – not a bad entry on a CV!
KEITH ALEXANDER
This gentleman was a pioneer in the game and had two seasons at
Underhill in that wonderful GM Conference team in the mid eighties
PETER BROWN
Next
a player who was recognised as a Player of the Year in 1985 not for
scoring goals or saving penalties but for sheer 100% input and a big
grin!
BOBBY BROWN
Next
in the spotlight is a player who spent only two years at Underhill
but was a goal-scoring sensation
GREG HEALD
Next
a central defender who is still to this day the most expensive player
ever purchased by the club. He spent nearly six years at Underhill
and captained the side to two play off semi finals
GREAT MATCHES - BLACKPOOL 2000/01
BARNET 7-0 BLACKPOOL
League
Division 3 - Saturday 11th November 2000
Attendance:
2,520
SIMON KING
A
superb defender who spent four season as the lynch pin in the Barnet
defence while adding some glamour with his boy band looks.
GORDON FERRY
When
this gentleman arrived at Underhill, players and supporters alike
said "I can't believe we have signed Gordon Ferry!"
KENNY LOWE
We
once had a player who was compared to Tottenham & England
midfielder Glen Hoddle but to us Barnet supporters Glen Hoddle was
actually the Kenny Lowe of the First Division.
LOOK BACK IN AMBER - THE WEST BANK
I
have Celebrated, Laughed, Cheered, Cried, Swore, Fought, Hugged,
Kissed, Ate, Drank and even Slept there. Do I miss it? You bet........the West Bank
Underhill.
BARRY FRY
Chairman
Stan Flashman allegedly sacked him 19 times, he cleared the pitch of
frost on Christmas morning and paid the players wages from the fruit
machines in the social club. The simple fact is that Barry made a few
contributions towards our club’s history.....oh yeah and he got us
promoted to the Football League.
LESTER FINCH & DENIS KELLEHER
Sadly
there are going to be some players in these features, including some
that literally dug the foundations of Barnet Football Club, who are
not with us anymore but next in the spotlight are two gentlemen from
days long past whose names are synonymous with the great history of
our club
ROGER FIGG
The
next in the spotlight is another goal machine from Underhill history in our Athenian and
Southern League days
SEAN DEVINE
Next
in the spotlight is a player who had power, speed and a superb
instinct for a goal and was top scorer at Underhill for three
consecutive seasons
SCOTT McGLEISH
A
big favourite at Underhill who is still going strong after a career of some 23 years - and still somersaulting.
ANDREW CLARKE
The
next in the spotlight is a superb athlete, discovered playing park
football, who was simply a revelation in the GM Vauxhall Conference.
ALBERT ADOMAH
A
talent, who wore the black and amber of Barnet FC for two and a half
seasons and could light up a game in
an instant.
DOUGIE FREEDMAN
In
the spotlight is a Scot who made a massive impact at the club but in
a very short space of time.
NICKY BAILEY
Next
in the spotlight is a player who has gone on to play in the
Championship for Charlton and Middlesbrough but it was Underhill that
witnessed a wonderfully raw talent develop.
GARY BULL
Next
in the spotlight a goal machine from our Conference winning days and
early seasons as a Football League Club.
DAVID HOWELL
David Howell. Says Reckless, “As much as I
despised Enfield FC (still do really) I still hungered for some of their numbers to
play in amber and black, “Owsy” was always top of that list”
BILLY MEADOWS
In
the spotlight is a gentleman who was the complete centre forward and
in two seasons at Underhill in the 1960's simply scored goal after
goal. He is also one of the funniest men you could ever wish to meet!
BEN EMBERY
In
the spotlight is a player who is the perfect gentleman – a stalwart
of great times at Underhill and another player who I proudly tell
people I know personally.
PAUL WILSON
The
next in the spotlight is a player who put back bone into the team and
who played in almost
every position during his twelve years at the club.
He also proved the myth that you can have blood the colour of your
club.
JOHN MARGERRISON
The
next in the spotlight is a richly talented midfielder, oozing class
with a great touch and vision – “What was he doing at Underhill
on a pitch resembling Hackney Marshes then?” - BFC Captain Edwin
Stein.
KEVIN MILLETT
In
the spotlight is a central defender and club Captain who made close
to 400 appearances for the club and was the ultimate Mr Reliable.
GARY PHILLIPS
The
next in the spotlight is a goalkeeper who is simply loved at
Underhill. Legends are a subject
that is always open to discussion and opinions, but there are some
players who just are.
JASON PUNCHEON
In
the spotlight is a player who came top in a recent pole on a
supporters website as “Their Favourite Player of All Time”
EDWIN STEIN
In
the spotlight is a gentleman who
spent a full 10 years as a respected player, captain and manager at
Underhill clocking up close to 500 appearances and scoring over 30
goals, Edwin Stein.
LES EASON
In
the spotlight is someone who scored goals at Underhill in the 1960's
and 70's with nonchalant ease and is the main reason for me changing
my allegiance from Finchley FC to Barnet FC as wee lad and I am very
proud to say that over the last ten years we have become firm
friends. Therefore I make no apologies for this article being
ornamented with personal admiration for a certain Leslie Eason.
GIULIANO GRAZIOLI
In
the spotlight is a local lad who became a goal-scoring machine in
amber and black.
LEE HARRISON
In
the spotlight is a goalkeeper who I can state without fear of
contradiction is the favourite Barnet player of all time of
literately hundreds of Bees supporters and a gentleman who I am
privileged to call a close friend”.
