Rowdies Memorabilia - Peter Barnes Biography

 "On a Wing and a Prayer" - The biography of Peter Barnes, the former winger, by Gary James.

This is the life story of Peter Barnes who, at the age of 18, scored the opening goal 

in the 1976 League Cup final. 

Playing for the team he supported, Manchester City, Peter was idolised 

by fans and was awarded the 1976 PFA Young Player of the Year award. 

The following year he made his England debut and was described by one journalist 

as the ‘Saviour of English football.’

Those were the days when Manchester City won the League Cup; 

were runners up in the League (missing the title by a point); 

and were challenging in Europe but then Malcolm Allison returned as coach 

and within months Peter, and a whole host of international stars, 

were on their way out. Peter was sold for a record amount. 

City’s fortunes suffered while Peter carved out a new career at 

West Bromwich Albion (where he played for Ron Atkinson).

Another record breaking transfer to Leeds United followed, 

before spells at Real Betis, Coventry City, Manchester United 

(playing for both Ron Atkinson and his replacement Alex Ferguson) 

and Tampa Bay Rowdies in 1990.

Written by acclaimed author Dr Gary James, 

this book covers the highs and lows of Peter’s life with stories 

about his time playing for some of the game’s biggest clubs 

and most famous managers. It also discusses Peter’s ongoing 

involvement with the sport and the significance of his family.
