Paul Lance Barnes (born 16 November 1967 in Leicester, England) is a retired English footballer. He played for York City between 1992 and 1996, making 179 appearances and scoring 85 goals.
[edit] Career
Playing as a Striker, he completed an apprenticeship with Notts County before signing as a professional in November 1985. In March 1990, the club sold him to Stoke City for £30,000 and York manager John Ward kept an eye on the player for six months before signing him for £50,000 in July 1992. Barnes began scoring goals for York quickly and he netted 21 times as York won promotion in 1993. The following year, he scored 24 times and won the Clubman of the Year trophy. In September 1995, he hit the national headlines when he scored twice in City's 3-0 hammering of Manchester United at Old Trafford, and he almost scored a hat trick, but his third goal was ruled offside.
Barnes was eventually sold to Birmingham City for £350,000 in March 1996. Six months later he was transferred to Burnley for £300,000. He scored 31 goals in 71 matches for the club.
A further move saw him play for Huddersfield Town and then in March 1999 signed with Bury for £50,000. In 2003, playing for Doncaster Rovers, he helped the club gain promotion back to the Football League from the Football Conference, winning the Golden Boot in the process. Barnes then signed for non-league Tamworth, and then finished his career at Hinckley.
In his 179 York City appearances, Barnes scored 85 times and is York City's ninth leading goalscorer of all time.
