Only saw John Barton once , against Workington in the League Cup I think, my first night game ...We won 2 nil....I think Blacklaw was injured in early 1971 ...
Brentford cannot compete with the above agreed , the demographic of football as changed to a southern based 2nd tier including clubs who once upon time were in the old 3rd Division South regularly ..
That's probably true if Andrews had been signed , when we were in the Championship and not the Premiership , he would not have got the same dogs abuse !
So did John Aston , on the other hand David Wagstaffe still has legend status !!
Time will tell all I am saying he was a far better footballer than Craig Conway could ever dream about !!!
I would look at it another way , if I was a blade I would be wanting someone a lot better than Lenihan ...Cos they are going to do a lot of defending next season ..and will be scoring a goal every Preston guild ..
