Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Growing up on the west side ofHull,Barmby played for local teams Springhead and National Tigers as a boy showing talent from a very early age. Consequently, he ended his education at the localKelvin Hall High School(where he started in 1985) early to complete his studies atThe Football Association's School of Excellence, while also honing his skills for the professional game.[citation needed]His father,Jeff Barmby,was also a player in his younger days and became his son's advisor and agent as his skills began to attract the attention of various clubs.[citation needed]

Tottenham Hotspur

[edit]

Barmby eventually signed forTottenham Hotspur,joining them on leaving school in the summer of 1990. His first game for Tottenham was againstHull CityatBoothferry Parkin a testimonial match forGarreth Roberts,and he scored two goals.[4]

Having turned professional in April 1991 under the management ofTerry Venables,he made his competitive debut againstSheffield Wednesday[4]on 27 September 1992 in theFA Premier League,and established himself as a regular playerthat season,when still only 18 years old.[5]

During his time at the club he became one ofOssie Ardiles' five-man attack, along withJürgen Klinsmann,Teddy Sheringham,Darren AndertonandIlie Dumitrescu.He played 100 games and scored 27 goals in all competitions for Spurs,[citation needed]playing on the losing side in twoFA Cupsemi-finals,[citation needed]before becomingMiddlesbrough'smost expensive signing in a £5.25 million deal in June 1995.[6]

Middlesbrough

[edit]

Barmby set up the first competitive goal at the newRiverside StadiumforCraig Hignett.[7]Barmby stayed at Middlesbrough for 17 months, before heading toEverton,who paid a record fee of £5.75 million for him, a small profit on the price they paid for him.[8]

Everton

[edit]

In his first season at the club, Barmby and his new team found themselves in a Premier League relegation battle. However, they survived with a 15th-place finish as Barmby made 25 league appearances and scored four goals.[citation needed]He managed just two goals from 30 appearances thefollowing seasonas Everton finished just one place above relegation.[citation needed]Injuries restricted him to appearing in just 24 out of 38 league appearances in1998–99,as he scored three goals.[citation needed]Hisfinal seasonatGoodison Parksaw him miss just one league game and find the net nine times,[citation needed]though Everton finished only in 13th place.[9]On 26 February 2000, Barmby scored ahat-trickin a 4–0 win againstWest Ham United.[10]

After nearly four years at Everton, during which Barmby played 114 league games and scored 18 goals, he headed acrossStanley ParktoLiverpoolfor a fee of £6 million on 19 July 2000. It was the first time since strikerDave Hicksonin 1959 that Everton had sold a player to Liverpool – although six players had moved in the opposite direction in the 41 years between Barmby's transfer and that of Hickson.[11]

Manchester Unitedalso expressed an interest in signing Barmby to cover for their missing players at the start of the 2000–01 season, but they were eventually outbid.[12]
