Barnsley 7 Huddersfield Town 1 - 28th November 1998 

This hammering was on the cards.. the only match where ward and Higgnett played in the same team.. what a team

Barnard's goal is quite possibly the best goal ever scored against the terriers - and many goals have been scored against us!

I know what you mean mate. Davey must be doing something right for us to be going to Wembley. He made a lot of new signings and as the world as seen, we are now playing as a unit. We played world class against Chelsea, simple as. It almost brings a tear to my eye to be reminded of our 97/98 squad, but hopefully in 10 years from now I can look back and remember the boys of 2008 with a sense of respect and appreciation us Tykes fans will always have for the likes of Morgan and Ward.

You've got the date wrong, it was on the night of Friday 27th November 1998. I remember it as I was there. In retrospect, the years between 1996 and 2000 were a golden era for Barnsley FC, and one which might not be recreated again, or at least not for a very long time. In April 1999 they sacked John Hendrie for finishing 13th and for getting to the quarter final of the FA Cup. How stupid that decision looks now, and what would they give to get back there today?

i was there too but it was 27th november, i remember cos it was my brothers birthday :)

That is so true. The reason we played so well against Chelsea is because we played with passion & intensity. They knew they had to give it their all & it paid off. They just need to keep the same level of commitment in the league and we would be a dominant force. Its not that we aren't good enough its just they dont always believe in themselves & hopefully the FA cup success will make them realise that they are better than they think. Ward was class but don't forget Redfearn & dare I say Wilson?

great game first time i took my son to oakwell as it was his 8th birthday that day and they anouncce it over the tanoy was a good night all around

Barnard what a player!

@Barkermush My post looks like I'm not giving Barnsley any credit, which is not what I meant to do. 7-1 is an amazing win against any team in a League game, and what a stunning goal from Barnard.

I think this proved that we are the number 1 footballing 'town' in Yorkshire ;) even though it's not in our name, we are all TARN4LIFE :D

i was there, i wa like and at the start of the match i stood on a barsnley hat and all town fans chanted wayyy

scott210882,your right we have been missing a decent centre half for a while now, reid was good in league 1, but not good enough for the championship, but nyatanga foster and souza??those are the best 3 weve had in years!!sack davey now??what planet are you living on mate?!

I miss Alan Brazil, "BANG! 7-0"

Just like watching Brazil!

Remember it well. Fookin' dream team! SUPER, SUPER JOHN. SUPER, SUPER JOHN. SUPER, SUPER JOHN. SUPER JOHNNY HENDRY!!!

Not had a decent center back since De Zeuuw, met him on 2 occasions outside Oakwell, decent bloke and badly missed, Ward and Hignett were the best players we ever had. Sack Davey now and take your clowns with you.

Those were the days!!

@Barkermush No they finished 10th that season 2 places above Barnsley who finished 12th and then the season after they finished in 8th position...

Yeah we did it, you reds!!!! if only you played like this every week. If feel sorry for Joe Cole he was the only Chelsea player that wanted to play, the Sith will be out on his arse come summer and he can take snot nosed Dog-ba with him.

I hope YAP hasn't seen this yet :-)

The same year bfc battered spurs too

Think that respect for Morgan might have disappeared now, mate. Dirty bastard that he is.

What a side.

i remember this. i kept on shoutin "yes! 1-0 get in!" 2-0! 3-0! ect ect :P

LOLZ PWNED!!! Barnsley Rox :D or used 2 neway... market is balls now :(

See you after the Chelsea match, most fans want to watch league matches won, Barnsley have to worst away record in the Championship and nearly the worst goals conceded. We need a manager that can get a defence to work, strikers to score and midfielders to have some vision, this has been missing since we lost Hignett and Ward. The problem with BFC in the league is they only play 60mins in a match then they go to sleep. So that is what planet im on, where are you from la la land?

Your video clip is great and I've rated you as awesome. Please see my video clip on some 1930's tobacco cards of association football cup winners from 1880-1929.

@DaleGEvans When you see games like this you wonder whether your awake or dreaming! If Barnsley put their all into the Championship they'd get into the prem. By the way, Vote for UKIP!

Huddersfield were sh!t back then though wern't they? Sure they got relegated either at the end of that season, or the following season.. and they have been in League One ever since.
