Barson developed a reputation for dirty play and was often booed and bated by opposing supporters. Frank Barson was probably the most controversial footballer of his day. Barrel-chested and with a broken, twisted nose he was a giant amongst centre-halves. A blacksmith by trade, his one failing was that he hardly knew his own strength and was apt to be over impetuous. His desire to always be in the thick of the fray brought him into many conflicts with the game's authorities. On one occasion Barson's hard tackling resulted in a seven month ban; after a game, he often needed a police escort to protect him from angry opposition fans. One of these goals, against Aston Villa on 26 December 1921, was described by contemporary accounts as a candidate for the longest-distance header ever scored. Barson was regarded as a ''hard man'' of English football.[3] The Times notes that ''On frequent occasions Barson was escorted out of grounds by policemen to protect him from groups of angry opposition fans.'' Opposing crowds loathed him, forcing Barson to publicly defend himself on the grounds that he had been ''brought up to play hard and saw nothing wrong with an honest to goodness shoulder charge.''[4] One violent challenge in a match against Fulham resulted in a seven month ban. _________________ « I'll tear your f*cking head off and puke in the hole » - Vinnie Jones to Kenny Dalglish Frank BARSON | 1919-1920 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
