An Iron legend from an era when the word wasn’t bandied around so lightly,

RIP. I had the pleasure of interviewing him. Genuine bloke.

Sad news indeed. Saw him play several times – from the half way line his pace was electric, left defenders with ease and a great finisher.
211 goals in 338 games. Scored well for all the clubs he played after leaving Leicester City. Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to him once at that special evening at the Wortley Hotel. A very soft spoken, humble man, an honour to have shook his hand.
God Bless IRON LEGEND.

I had an hours chat with him in the afternoon at the Wortley before his ‘Evening With’ with guest Jimmy Greaves. Should have recorded it, so many great stories he had. 22nd Sept 2000 that was.

Never saw him play, enjoyed the stories from older family members and his record speaks for itself.
RIP

Sad day indeed. I was lucky enough to see him play.
Vaguely remember that Blackpool cup tie when he scored a hat-trick but certainly the five goals in the 8-1 demolition of Luton.
One player Newcastle fans also fondly remember. More than could be said for a certain Scandinavian mercenary this week.
True legend, RIP Barrie.

Rip Barrie. A true iron legend.

Yes it’s a sad day, clubs don’t have many legends but Barrie was one of ours, I put him alongside Jack Brownsword when I think of Iron legends. Just a wonderful wonderful footballer RIP Barrie thanks for the memories.

Barrie’s first hat trick in League Football was in a First Division game for Leicester City against Bolton Wanderers on the 4th May 1955, he was just 17. Barrie mentioned the opposing centre forward that day was one Nat Lofthouse ( England) who congratulated him at the final whistle. A proud moment for him.

Better goals per game ratio than Shearer and Isak for Newcastle.
