There are some fans (all clubs have them) who will back down in a pub banter argument 'Ok, yeah, we were a bit poor and your lot deserved to win. Leave me alone'. Not Barry. No surrender from him. His attitude was 'We are City - we'll do whatever we effin' want'. A gentle guy - but he would deliver a verbal riposte instantly to anyone who crossed him (football-wise) with a real growl in his voice.

Barry worked in Cheadle, I worked in Manchester and we got the same bus every day - we only talked football except for when we were passing the pubs - he used to tell me which ones the old Stockport nut jobs drank in. Cut Barry and you would see sky blue blood. RIP Barry.

Where’s the wake, not sure wether to drive or not? I’m coming from North Wales. Anyone having a libation of two afterwards? He wouldn’t have it any other way

I was reading your other post about no wake mate, kinda felt a bit sad even though I've never met Barry. Reading all the messages about what a character and good lad he was, it just surprised me.

I didn’t know him that well, but I had a few drinks with him in Wetherspoons/ junction before going to the match aswell. He loved a drink or two haha. What a character he was
