Kenneth Herbert "Ken" Barnes (born March 16, 1929 in Birmingham , † July 13, 2010 in Macclesfield ) was an English football player and coach. He played as a full-back for Manchester City and Wrexham AFC .

Life

As a teenager he began playing for Birmingham City at an amateur level. After his military service in 1947, he joined the Stafford Rangers as a semi-professional . With the transfer to Manchester City in 1950, Barnes began his professional career, playing for the first team only once in four years. He did not become a regular player until 1954, and he saw the high point of his career when Les McDowall introduced the Revie plan , named after the player Don Revie . During this time he played for two consecutive years in the FA Cup final, which he won in 1956 with Manchester City. He made a total of 283 games for Manchester City.

In 1961 he moved to Wrexham as a player-coach. Barnes eventually moved back to Manchester City in 1970, where he held a variety of coaching positions for more than two decades, including developing the youth team that won the 1986 FA Youth Cup.
