Ken Barnes was widely regarded as one of the finest footballers of
his generation never to have won an England cap. During a
distinguished playing career with Manchester City, Ken appeared in
the FA Cup finals of 1955 and 1956 and later captained the club
before retiring in the early 60s. He spent nearly a decade away
from Maine Road as a manager of Wrexham and Witton Albion before
returning to Maine Road as a coach under Joe Mercer. Ken
subsequently went on to serve under every City manager as either a
coach or chief scout from Joe Mercer to Joe Royle. As someone who
holds forthright views on the game, especially when it comes to the
subject of coaching, Ken's views could be dismissed as the 'in my
day' rantings of another embittered former pro. Yet one should bear
in mind that his integrity and knowledge of the game saw him serve
under every Manchester City manager from Joe Mercer to Joe Royle.
In his time Ken has seen trends come and go -- from the 'deep lying
centre-forward' via 'wingless wonders' to today's 'holding
midfielder' and is uniquely placed to give his opinions on them
all. Away from football, Ken is described as a 'character'. Make of
that what you will. That may be a tale for another day. This is the
story of Kens life in football. Im honoured, and privileged, that
he asked me to help him tell it.
