snowball Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 RIP Barney. Remember him from 80"s away days one of the familiar faces you always seemed to see.

FD was undisputed " leader " during the Lever End days but when he stopped going as often ( after marriage I think ) Barney became the best known among the Bolton "firm " ), but they always got on well.

Â Might not be same bloke, an Oliver Brady aged 35 was jailed for armed robbery in 1996 Think that would be about the right age, was in the year below me at Hayward base if I remember rightly. Â Don't remember him being much of a fan, but he did get into a few scrapes at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
