Talking of things Wigan, who was the Spanish, ex- Wigan player who turned out for us? He had a good game but, apparently, his family was at the game and dragged him home saying they could not possibly leave him to play for the likes of Rochdale.
Or is this another of my mis-rememberings? |  |

Isidro Diaz made 14 appearances for us in the 98-99 season, scoring twice. A very special player. Left us midway through that season to play in Portugal if I remember rightly. |  | | |

Martinez, Diaz and Seba were the 3 amigo's or something simular in times when saying this was ok.
I think if I remember Izzy's family were homesick and wanted to return home to sunnier climates. He was a really nice guy as well and very good player :) |  |

He was spectacularly average at Dale. Scored a winner at Carlisle but looked so out of place in a team full of Barrow's cloggers. Not his fault, but he'd often spend games out on the wing watching planes avoiding balls overhead. |  |

Anyone remember the guy Linares (I think his first name was Ignacio) we had pre season in the early 90s? I think he went back to Spain to complete a Degree but would "definitely be coming back" and we never saw him again! |  | | |

The goal at Carlisle was a mis kick!! Went to shoot, missed the ball and it hit his static foot and went in, bizarre, but 3 points, so who cares lol. My memory of him is during the FA cup first round tie at Scarborough in 98?? We were one down, (after missing a pen) shouting to Barrow 'get Diaz on' oh the good old days :) |  | | |

Didn't we have a Jesus one pre- season. The story of his leaving was him walking past the the office and saying to one of the girls (in a Manuel Fawlty way) " I no can play futabol. I go now" Or so legend has it. | |

Maybe he wasn't keen on crosses  |  | | |

Remember us signing Diaz and, as I was a naive 16-year-old, I thought he would propel us up the table.
After watching us lose (2-0?) to Torquay on his debut, I quickly sobered up. |  |

Barrow should have been sacked after that game, although it was a miracle he was still in the job at that point. |  |

Was it an urban myth that Barrow would have been sacked had we lost a few weeks later at home to Orient? There were a few games that season that it was quite disappointing when we won. | |

I think DFK was on the verge of sacking him, then we beat Orient against the odds with ten men and so on.
And he was a "nice family man". | |

You're right. He did get unexpected stays of execution. Did we not randomly beat Darlington 5-0 one week? | |

Darlington 5-0 was the year before when the likes of Painter, Lancashire and Russell ran riot. We went ninth that day, our highest ever position in three years under Barrow. | |

We were that bad under Barrow I stopped watching Dale and started playing Saturday football instead. I tore my cruciate ligament and never recovered to play competitive again. I blame Barrow. |  |
