Yes, I remember that chant.
Barrie Jones was a superbly gifted footballer. Unfortunately, he broke his leg away at Blackpool, which ended his football league career.

A game that sticks in my mind was an away defeat at Derby in 1969, the season they gained promotion to the First Division. City got beaten 2-0 but the general consensus was that Barrie Jones was the best player on the pitch that day.

What I didn't realise was that Plymouth broke the British transfer record for a winger when they signed him from the Jacks in 1964 for £45,000.
