9 Ashley Ward - Centre Forward
Another player with a relatively short spell at the club and arrived when the club were in the dizzy heights of the Premier League.

Ward was a terrific worker in the Barnsley shirt who could bag his share of goals.  Had Ward been signed earlier with Jan Age Fjortoft then the Reds would probably have survived in the top flight.

10 John Hendrie - Centre Forward

He became Barnsley's Manager following the departure of Danny Wilson, but parted company with the club before serving a full season.
