Trivia
Founded by the Rev. Tiverton Preedy, Barnsley were originally named after the church, Barnsley St. Peters. They were forced to move from the fields they played on that were right next to the ground because their footballs kept on breaking the church's stained glass windows. This is where they were first known as the Little Tykes.
