Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Shaun Barker = genuinely nice bloke Bumped into him in 2016 and asked how he was getting on. He seemed pleased that fans were remembering him and concerned about him even a few years after his last game in a Derby shirt. Hope he ended up making a success out of his fashion business... he was just starting out at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 First time I've seen this, found it really interesting and informative. Top man Shaun Barker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just watched it. We could really do with him now, and indeed then, and probably in the future as well. I love players like barker and forsyth. The way they have both come back, and in Forsyth’s case numerous times, is such testament to their character and desire. A really great watch and interesting insight. I would have loved him to play that season we capitulated. Not to be though. Thanks for the heads up.

B4ev6is Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 He will be legend here and welcome back any time I understand he is doing a good job at burton perhaps one day he will come back home at some point coaching role or assistance manager.

maxjam Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I watched this last night (from behind an outstretched hand at times - hey I'm squeamish!) Quite moving at times. He comes across as a genuinely nice down to earth guy that worked incredibly hard to get back to playing football. I thought that Clough also came across well, McClaren less so. Nice to see that Nigel took Barker to Burton and that he remains there in some capacity today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Just watched it.....really good show...he comes across as such a nice guy....obviously because his parents are possibly the nicest people in the world..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBritishMidland Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Excellent film that. Really good to get a bit about his career before The Rams and his journey back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So much is said of his character that it's often overlooked how good a player he was. When he was fit, his presence was the difference between us being also-rans and a competitive Championship side. He could make very ordinary players around him look rock solid.

OoooMarkWright Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I thought it was a really good documentary, Barker and family came across very well as did Clough. Thought it was a little harsh on McClaren - made him out to be the bad guy, even though it’s been proven that Barker wasn’t ready for a return at that level. Also thought it was a bit harsh to rubbish Derby’s farewell to him for the POTY presentation. He had a testimonial type game, and a new contract. Derby did more than enough for Barker. Good, but annoyed me in parts. The Stone Roses resurrection song was a bit of an ego trip too. Apart from all the negatives, I enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we did though, what followed was one of the greatest seasons outside of Jim Smiths tenure and started a new era where we have been genuine promotion candidates.

We'll never know but it seems we missed a trick by persevering with him while he rebuilt, slashed the wage bill and had young hungry players straining at the leash only to sack him on the vinegar strokes....

It’s also possible we would have finished 14th with 90% of the fan base half a sleep as we tried to defend a 1-0 score line away from home. The best thing this club did in modern times is to let Nigel go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget some of the performances before he was sacked, that goal at Yeovil, Bryson's hat trick at Millwall.....it was coming, coming I tell ya.
