Ten years ago: a draw against the Tykes as Bosman looms
Barnsley are one club I'm glad we don't have to play any more. After the excitement of the preceding week, Charlton drew 1-1 at home with Barnsley on 30 September 1995 at The Valley.
My notes recall, 'Barnsley played a very tight game and it wasn't until the 39th minute that Grant scored. Charlton were lacklustre in the second half and Grant missed from a few yards. Redfearn (yes, it was he) scored from a free kick in injury time. Some people thought that Salmon should have saved it, but it was a well placed shot. Steve from Sidcup commented, "Same old Charlton"'.
Press reports recall that the game turned nasty in the second half. Jackson elbowed Bowyer in the back. 'A minute later', stated The Observer 'he used the same elbow, on the same player, this time in the face. Astonishingly, he only received a yellow card.'
The programme revealed that keeper Andy Petterson had been sent on loan to Ipswich where Charlton won 5-1 the preceding week. Redfearn was described in the programme as 'much travelled'. And he keeps travelling on, scoring from a penalty for Scarborough last week.
Chris Parkes was featured in a 'day in the life' and very wisely he drew attention to the importance of the Bosman judgement about to be made by the European Court, arguing 'I personally feel that our transfer system has stood the test of time and protects both players and clubs. Watch this space.' Indeed: the court decision had a major impact on football.
