Frank Barson's life story is one of hardship and hard-won fame, his
tough tackling and prowess in controlled aggression earning him a
reputation that lives on today. Rising from the factory floor to
become a footballing giant, Barson lifted the fortunes of Aston
Villa and Manchester United while earning more cautions than anyone
before or since. Born in Sheffield's industrial district of
Grimesthorpe, his no-nonsense football style was forged in the 20s
when learning his trade with Barnsley FC's renowned Battlers. Even
in an era of ruthless tackling he stood out as a notoriously
powerful player, yet his frequent clashes with authority belied his
status as an extremely intelligent player, an inspiration to his
colleagues and a true leader. Although Barson only earned a single
England cap, commentators and colleagues alike would bemoan the
fact that he was not captaining the national side. Football's
infamous 'hard man' set standards in deadly, focussed aggression
which players such as Norman Hunter and Roy Keane have since
striven to emulate.
