2025/26 Thierno Barry

Not being funny but I watched non league for the Walter Smith era - & I seen many Centre Forwards in the Northern then Unibond league with far better attributes than Barry - Barry Hales - made it at Fulham etc - I seen some duds too - but any player who was great thought twice about going professional as a footballer - if they had a good job or trade - they had more attributes than Barry on the sloppy pitches & no referee protection - hence why you get FA CUP upsets -

I travelled away back to a working mans game & seen some really good players who may have easily made the grade - they were being paid £80-100 often cash in the hand on top of their job - also thought nothing of playing 3 games per week back then over the easter period -

Stars have come through non league football & made a good living - it's very rare though- but quite a few have made the grade Vardy for one...

I need a red bull before I reply
 
not accurate to count by "appearances" since many of those are not the full 90, and might just be a couple of minutes in stoppage time.

I'm sure if we did goals per 90 it would still be horrid.
