Lee Barnard Appreciation

[Lighthouse]

Just as much a key part in our League 1 promotion as Guly IMO. Scored 15 goals to help take us up that year and would have been decent enough in the Championship without his injury.

 

Scored some vital goals including:

- The only goal in a 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday. Saints first goal in about 5 hours I think and Adkins first win. Kick started our season.

- The equaliser away to promotion rivals Bompey.

- The winner in that 3-2 game against MK Dons

 

He also scored a few the season before but it wasn't quite enough to get us into the play offs.

- Both goals in a 2-0 away win against eventual Champions Norwich.

- Last minute equaliser at Brighton

- Last minute winner at Yeovil

 

Good luck Lee!

Still think it's one of our more imaginative chants. Good luck Lee.

QPR?

[Mr Saints]

He was our best player in the run in of the League One promotion IMO, put in some big performances.

 

Surprised he hasn't done much on loan since then cos I always thought he was good enough for the Championship.

 

Good luck Lee.

[Marino]

Played his part for us, always liked him and he never gave less than 100 per cent.

Will he be on the bench again for the Shrimpers today - surely good enough for their

first team.

[SuperSAINT]

Will remember him fondly. Wasn't he a bargain 250k at the time?

[Pastor Patrón]

He was definitely clinical in front of goal. No one could accuse him of being a bottler

 

 

[doddisalegend]

I always liked Lee he was one of those hard work over talent type of players that I always seem to like. Shame about his injuries and police troubles that blighted his year in the championship.

[ThreeSixty]

Key for us in League 1 Obviously.

 

But felt he benefited from the system and that is why he has struggled since.

[Fan The Flames]

I liked the second goal against Leyton O, really started to believe we were going up. Although we lost the next game to Rochdale.

[positivepete]

Unused sub today for Southend. Hope he can keep a career in football. Thanks for your efforts with us.

[LostBoys]

Best wishes for the future

[EBS1980]

Did a job for us when brought but our rise meant he just saw out his contract. Sure a L1 or L2 club will snap him up

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Enjoyed his agro-laden approach to dealing with defenders in League 1.

[davefizzy14]

All the Best for the future Barney thanks for your big contribution with the goals in L1 that have got us back to where we belong.

[red&white56]

Fond memories of him and best wishes to him for his future.

Notts county away October 2010, we went one down to a new-manager inspired County, losing at Half-time when a mate put £50 on us to win. Barnard won the penalty to bring us level, scored the next before Adam finished them off. Mate was ecstatic as he'd just won £200.

[dronskisaint]

Another who played his way in to the folklore that our rise will become. Remember his goals at Norwich..I think we'd hit the woodwork twice and I was thinking it wasn't going to be our day and up he stepped..

 

Good luck to him wherever he ends up next...and thanks!

[John McGrath's Jockstrap]

Back in the dark ages, he came in for a pittance fee, and brought a bit of aggression and passion(+ goals) into our forward play which definitely made the difference in us going up.No doubt he also liked playing with class players hence his goals. Funny how these things get forgotten these days in the Prem but not by those who've been on the rollercoaster........
