Suddenly I feel very foolish having bleated on about the result yesterday.

Complete irrelevant in light of this news. 😥😥😥

RIP Chris Barker. A wonderfully stylish player, always enjoyed seeing him play for the City. Such a young age.

[Madassa]

Very sad to hear of his premature passing. A City stalwart who could've shown those players yesterday how to defend with commitment and craft. RIP

?

Sadly true.
Too young.
Horrible

That is a point very well made.

Terrible news for his family. He was a very good player for us. Even when Jones shipped him out to Stoke on loan, he came back and won Player of the Year. He could play left back and also centre back and I remember him as a strong tackling defender. RIP.

Spent a lovely 40 mins chatting with Chris at McArthur Glen (Sarn) over a cuppa a number of years ago. What a genuinely nice bloke. May his memory be a blessing.

RIP Chris Barker.

I shared the same experience as you did with CB, lovely man who didn't just go through the motions when speaking to fans.
