I too thought that Ken Barnes was a great player (the best uncapped half back in Britain).
As a manager he also won us promotion - however there was a downside, after a couple of youth trial games and training sessions he pulled me to one side and said, 'you're a grammar school boy aren't you - concentrate on your studies as you'll never make a footballer'. I was pretty upset but I knew he was right.

I did qualify as an FA Coach in 1971, one of the youngest in Britain at that time.
