Just heard that Geoff Barker who played in 77-79 for the Town has sadly passed away!
66 appearances and 1 goal for us!


Living in Exile since 1980, but still have Black and White blood!

Beast of a centre half. Recollections of him being very strong in the tackle and also headed the ball miles..

Sorry to hear that. He was the archetypal no-nonsense defender, hard as nails and steady as a rock. RIP

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Sad news.

Geoff Barker was the first choice centre half alongside Keith Hanvey the first season i started watching Town 1977-78 so I have a fondness for that team.

My condolences to his friends and family

RIP

Cultured he was not. Solid as a rock and Mr. Dependable he most certainly was.
Thanks Geoff. Rip sir. Condolences to his family.

RIP Geoff, remember him as being a proper centre back, tough tackling, no nonsense and always prepared to clear the Main Stand if necessary.
