Barney Bowers

Barney Bowers(born 19 August 1959 ) is a former Derby, Cliftonville, Ards and Glentoran F.C. player.

He is the record holder for European appearances for a Glentoran player & Irish league player, with a number of appearances for Ards in Europe towards the end of his career.Despite missing so much Barney still amassedover 500 appearances for Glentoran after joining from Derby County in August 1981, but for those two broken legs and a fractured cheekbone Barney wouldhave been the record holderfor Glentoran appearances. As an 18 year old Barney slippedthrough the Glentoran scouting network, only to be signed by Cliftonville. Inthose days Barney was a midfielder, and earned rave reviews, for his all action play. Such was his talent that Derby manager Tommy Doherty signed him for £25,000. Despite an offer from Swindon Town, Barney opted toreturn to Belfast, and join his boyhood favourites at the Oval. Along with Paterson, Cleary, Jameson, Blackledge etc.Barney played his part during our trophy winning sides of the mid-eighties. Goals have also played their part in Barney's game with over 100 during his time. Who could forget his free kick in the last minute against Standard Leige or the winning goal in the last minute of the Gold Cup Final against Cliftonville in 1991. Over the seasons though Barney has spent a lot oftime as a sweeper leding a cool head in the heart of the defense. No matter where Barney has played forGlentoran his commitment to the team has never dwained. A whole hearted player, who gained just reward in 1992when he led Glentoran to the League title, the only medal he had previously not won in the Irish League,having missed out on a medal during our double year,when out with a broken leg. A well deserved honour for truly one of the great Glentoran players. Debut v Dundalk 0-0 (H) August 1981
