The Best of Saint and Greavsie
If you check out the latest edition on ITVX about 12 mins in there is a feature on promotion chasing Barnet ( vauxhall conference) with Barry Fry on good form , the year is 1990
they are shown playing the mighty Chairboys at Underhill
some match action and an interview with MOM
all presented by our very own glasshalfull !
Nice, little slice of nostalgia
