I mentioned yesterday that in 1984, Simon Jeffels had won Player of the Month for October at #BarnsleyFC. He was in the team because of September winner Larry May's knee injury v Huddersfield on 22/09 which required surgery. On this day the Green 'Un reported that May's post op return..1/2 #LarryMay

..The rot was stopped in the next game with a 1-1 draw v Plymouth Argyle at Oakwell, Larry May the scorer, & that was the start of an 8 match unbeaten run! 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #LarryMay #ShrewsburyTown

On this day in 1986, Barnsley lost 1-0 at Shrewsbury Town - meaning that for the first time in club history they'd lost the first 6 games of a season. They also hadn't scored since the opening game. Unsurprisingly, it left them bottom of Division 2 table. 1/2 #BarnsleyFC #LarryMay #ShrewsburyTown
