Ex Reds Go Goal Crazy

Last updated : 24 October 2012 By Rob Miles (BarnsleyBoy)

Barnsley were well represented in the Npower Football League last night, as EIGHT former players were on the scoresheet.

In the Championship Adam Hammill (Barnsley 2009-2011) grabbed a consolation for Huddersfield in their 3-1 defeat at Peterborough, whilst Chris Wood (2010) grabbed a brace for Millwall in their 3-3 draw with Birmingham.

In League One, Nicky Wroe (2003-2007) scored a 36 minute hat-trick for Preston in their 3-2 triumph at Scunthorpe, Iain Hume (2008-2011) grabbed a last minute winner for Doncaster at Tranmere, whilst Jamal Campbell-Ryce (2007-2010) scored a penalty for Notts County in their 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.

And in League Two, Deon Burton (1998) netted for Gillingham in a 2-1 defeat at Torquay whilst Daniel Nardiello (2004-2007) scored both goals in Rotherham’s 2-1 win over Morecambe.

There should have been a ninth scorer, but Neil Austin (2001-2007) hit the crossbar with a penalty in Hartlepool’s 2-1 defeat at Bury, which proved to be their manager, Neale Cooper’s last game in charge.
