This might be quite silly but would it be the same Geoff barnsley as on this Wikipedia? Would put him straight to the top of the oldest players, but goalkeepers do play older

Not silly and I thought the exact same, especially as he was only in for this one match. But no, different players. I was just grabbing scans and have found a clipping confirming that they are in fact father and son.

November 1980


Geoff Sr. retired from football and resigned as Manager of Tipton at the end of season 1984/85 in order to spend more time with his family.

A “character”.

Do I remember correctly a weekly column of his in The Argus that he used mostly to settle any scores that he hadn’t already negotiated in a two-footed fashion on the pitch?

Stan Jones on there too, looking as much like Tintin as he did in his handful of appearances for us a couple of years later.
Scored a ruck of goals for that lot inbetween, having previously done the same for Oldbury I believe.
