Barnsley Football Club is saddened to learn of the recent passing of our former player Peter Handyside (49).
Joining the Reds in the summer of 2003, Peter would spend just one year with the club after enormously successful spells with both Grimsby Town and Stoke City.
A cultured defender, Peter would captain Barnsley in 2003/04 and helped steady a very rocky ship during that era as the Reds recovered from relegation and an eventual administration period.
The Scot was never anything but professional and will be missed tremendously by all who knew him having truly made his mark on the game.
Our thoughts as a Club are with all of Peter's family, friends and colleagues at what is clearly a very difficult time.
