Posted September 23, 2024Sep 23 #1 Son of Nick Barmby, played for Notts in 2015 on loan from Leicester City Jack Barmby - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Now working for Colt Construction
September 23, 2024Sep 23 #2 Just 98 appearances for 8 different clubs over a 7 year period.That statistic demonstrates to me that he was never fully settled at a club or simply wasn't good enough with the clubs he played for. Lots of youth players look very good at youth level but never go on to make it at senior level. His time at Notts was unspectacular too.
September 23, 2024Sep 23 #3 @Robbie we had a thing for signing players related to famous players, in some form or another. he was very poor from my memory. only good relation i can remember is thomas ince. he looked great and i wished we could have signed him whilst his dad was the manager. paul was a rubbish manager tho. jack barmby was good, his dad was a very good player. it did not pass down.
September 23, 2024Sep 23 #4 Was half expecting to see Colt Construction listed on the wiki page as a club given he moved to America and played over there! ???? I’ve looked a few up, in their second division they have teams named El Paso Locomotive, Charleston Battery and Oakland Roots. They sound like industries not football teams!
September 26, 2024Sep 26 #5 He was a nice lad, but I don't think he had the drive to make a career within the EFL. It wasn't so much his ability; I think he was quite nervous as a player and due to that he never pushed himself. I do think his time at Notts was a waste though. Being the son of a famous player has some weight, but I think an exceptional manager is needed to get the most out of players like Jack Barmby.
September 26, 2024Sep 26 #6 I don’t remember Jack Barmby at all. I do recall us taking him on loan from Leicester City, I think it was, but as to how he did, it’s gone now.
