JOAN'S SPECIAL DAY

18 December 2023

As you may have seen on our social media channels and iFollow Barnsley, this weekend, lifelong supporter Joan Desbro made history by becoming our oldest ever mascot.

At 90-years-young, Joan led the team out alongside skipper Jordan Williams on an afternoon that she will never forget.

Prior to kick-off, the West Stand season ticket holder – along with her husband, Don, and two sons – were treated to a stadium tour before heading to the Reds’ changing room where Joan was presented with a shirt from top scorer Devante Cole.

She then spoke with Calendar pitchside and was a guest at the ITV studio in Leeds on Monday afternoon, where she reflected on her special day at Oakwell.
