Peter Barnes' brother

[mad4city]

One for the older board members, I suppose but was Peter Barnes' brother on the books at City - or did I dream it?
I was reading an end of season review, the other day and there was an obituary section. Amongst those named was Ken Barnes (Peter's dad) and they also said that his son, Peter, played for City and England... and somewhere in the murky depths of my memory or imagination, I conjured half an idea that Ken had a second son on the books at City - although I don't think that lad ever made the first team. Anyone know if I'm right?

My thanks in advance...



(And yes, I know what you're thinking - I have little to be worrying about if that's all that's been on my mind.)

Yes, was his name Michael I think? He didn't make it past the youth/reserve team IIRC.
