David Barnes (born 16 November 1961) is an English former professional footballer, who was affected badly by injury in the latter years of his career.

Career

Barnes began as an apprentice at Coventry City in May 1979, making a total of 13 appearances for the club. He left Highfield Road in April 1982 to join Ipswich Town and spent two years at Portman Road before his £35,000 transfer in October 1984 to Wolves.

He spent three full seasons at Molineux, becoming a regular first team player for the first time in his career, but also suffering two successive relegations. He reached the Division 4 play-offs in his final full season, but the team lost out to Aldershot. Ironically, Aldershot was his next club as he moved to the newly-promoted Third Division side in the second week of the 1987–88 season for £25,000. In total, he made 107 appearances for Wolves, scoring 4 times.

After two years at Aldershot in the third tier, he moved on to Sheffield United in July 1989 for £50,000. Here, he helped them to promotion to the top flight in his first season. He played 107 games over four-and-a-half years at Bramall Lane before leaving in January 1994 to sign for Watford, again for £50,000.

However, the defender managed just 16 games over his two seasons with the Hornets as injuries took their toll. He was given a free transfer when Watford were relegated to the third tier in 1996, and he joined Colchester United. He played 11 times over the course of eight months with the club before retiring through injury in March 1997.

Despite leaving Sheffield United over ten years ago, he still lines up in the red and white stripes when he plays for the Blades' Masters team.
