Peter Simon Barnes (born June 10, 1957 in Manchester ) is a former English football player and completed a total of 22 international matches for the English national team between 1977 and 1982 .
Athletic career
After Barnes signed his first contract in 1972 in his hometown as a youth player with Manchester City , he made his debut at the age of 17 on October 12, 1974 against Burnley FC . In the following season, the left winger won the first and only trophy of his career with the League Cup , when Newcastle United were beaten 2-1 in the final .
After appointments to the U21 youth team , the first international match at Wembley Stadium against Italy followed on November 16, 1977 at the age of 20 , with England winning this qualifying game for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina 2-0.
At the end of the 1978/79 season, when Manchester City installed a new coach with Howard Kendall and Barnes did not play a role in Kendall's plans, Barnes moved after 41 goals in 167 games for a transfer of 748,000 pounds to championship third West Bromwich Albion , resulting in this Time was the most expensive purchase in the history of the WBA . Despite a good first season with fifteen goals, Barnes could not call up the potential attributed to him by experts and experienced a footballing crisis in his second season in West Bromwich . Since he could not meet the high expectations overall, Barnes was given over to league rivals Leeds United .
The 1981/82 season was again disappointing for Barnes and thus continued the negative trend. He scored only one goal in his entire first year at Leeds and his weak form was the reason for not being considered for the 1982 World Cup in Spain . The friendly game shortly before against the Netherlands on May 25, 1982 at Wembley was his last game in the dress of the English national team.
Barnes was then loaned to the Spanish club Betis Sevilla and returned to Leeds after a year, but failed to convince there again. He was then loaned to Manchester United in May 1984 and at the end of the season was transferred to the relegation candidate Coventry City for the comparatively low transfer fee of 65,000 pounds .
After only a year in Coventry, Barnes finally moved to Manchester United, joining coach Ron Atkinson , who had been responsible for the transfer from Barnes to West Bromwich six years earlier. In Manchester, Barnes found his form from earlier days and the club began to strive upwards. After the winning streak ended, however, and Manchester mostly oriented itself in the midfield of the league, Barnes also lost his regular place. At the turn of the year 1986/87, the new coach Alex Ferguson Barnes finally sorted out from the team. Barnes then returned to his former club Manchester City for just £ 30,000.
After Manchester was relegated to the second division and Barnes could not fight for a regular place at this point, he was loaned to the fourth division Bolton Wanderers and then to the third division Port Vale . The end of the 1987/88 season he then spent in the second division, at the club Hull City .
This was followed by more short domestic and foreign stations before Barnes then resigned as an active footballer and continued to work in the coaching area.
After an engagement in Dubai in 1993 , he began his coaching career in the youth division of Manchester City, where he was in charge of youth teams and the youth academy until 1998. His first coaching position was both in the 1998/99 season, the amateur club FC Runcorn and for a month the national team of Gibraltar. Since 1999 Barnes has worked as an expert for the television stations Sky-TV and MUTV as well as for BBC Radio GMR , mostly commenting on the Manchester City games.
After briefly overseeing the U16 national team of Malaysia in 2002 , he took on the post of director at the organization Kik-Off Limited , which works with the FA to improve youth work by setting up football centers.
Barnes is currently an active committee member of the FA and writes a column on the Manchester Evening News .
