Paul Barnes was a prolific goalscorer. Even if he never made it to the top flight, he was a fine forward with a well-honed striker’s instinct. He scored 206 times in a 19-year career, including five in one match for Burnley against Stockport County in 1996. There were two headers, two with his right foot and one with his left foot that he drilled into the roof of the net.
He still manages to make the memory of it self-deprecating. ‘I’d just arrived at Burnley as their record signing and gone eight games without a goal,’ he says.
