Arthur Barnard
Normal Position: Goalkeeper
Height: 5' 9 1/2
Weight: 11st 10lbs
Born: 20/06/1932 (Mosley Common, Boothstown)
He was kept in the background at Bolton by the performances of veteran 'keepers Stan Hanson and Lancashire cricketer Ken Grieves. He played against Southport Reserves on a number of occasions when turning out for Bolton Wanderers 13' who were members of the LancashireCombination for a time. His 2 appearances for the Wanderers League
team were the last games of 1954-55 and 1955-56 when he conceded a total of 7 goals at Leicester and Huddersfield. When he moved to Stockport County he also had opposition from Ken Grieves but eventually became their first choice. While at Stockport he had a bad accident when he spiked his leg on a riling when collecting a cricket ball and for a time
it looked like the end of his career. After a disagreement over terms he
was transfer listed. He did not miss a match at Southport after signing in September 1959 and immediately ousted the unsettled Jack Richardson. He is still very interested in cricket and is a committee member at Kearsley C.C. and still lives in the Farnworth area. Neck problems have forced him to give up his window cleaning job.
