I always remember running into him on Tuesday night student night in The Event in 1998.

Richie Barker lodged with a chap who worked for FotoDirect, a printing firm near the old Argus printing works.

One fine Gillingham day, FotoDirect sponsored a match. Richie's landlord represented the company. Richie had a nightmare and was substituted very early. Later, the sponsor's representative was asked to nominate the MoM. Naturally, he chose Richie. The club, quite reasonably, was rather cross and, just that once, no mention of the award was made in the following programme.

Wonderful ramshackle days.

Took him about half a season to score didn't it. I clearly remember the goal at Gillingham and the crowd taking the piss chanting "Barker's scored a goal he scored a goal etc"

Ooo aaah, ooo aaah, ooo aaah, Richie Barker, ooo aaah, Richie Barker.

Love the Bear. Love the fact he went god knows how many games at the start of his career without scoring, yet his hair was always immaculate.

Wouldn't stick any money on it. He's just become assistant to Paul Warne at Rovrum, who spent half a season chasing him to sign from MK.
