Anthony Barness Biography

Anthony Barness is one of the most popular and richest English footballer who was born on February 25, 1973 in Lewisham, London, United Kingdom. Anthony Barness (born 25 February 1973) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender from 1991 until 2011.

In August 2007 he signed for then Conference South side Lewes. Since then, Barness has remained an integral part of the first team squad. He was the only first team player to remain at Lewes after the controversial sacking of Steve King and the appointment of Kevin Keehan.

After being released by Bolton in May 2005, he joined Championship side Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer the following month. He impressed fans with solid performances throughout his first season with Argyle. He was released from his contract at Plymouth by manager Ian Holloway on 30 January 2007.

Barness retired at the end of the 2010–11 season to concentrate on his ceramic tiling business.

On the move again in 2000, he went to Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer deal and was initially a regular starter in Lancashire, but was soon relegated to starting only in Cup competitions – which manager Sam Allardyce often left to the second team. In his second year Barness made the right-back position his own, and became a fans favourite due to his effort for the cause. Barness continued to play for the first team over the next couple of years. He was set to move on loan to West Ham United in February 2004 but was recalled within 24 hours after Bolton suffered an injury crisis. He then played a vital role for Bolton as they set a record for the most consecutive wins by their club.

His potential was spotted by a youth-scouting Chelsea side in 1992 and signed for £350,000— though some have said Chelsea only signed Barness after failing to sign his teammate, Scott Minto. During the four years which he spent at the club however, his chances of league starts were taken away from him at every possible opportunity. Thus, after just nineteen appearances in four years, he was loaned out to Middlesbrough (in August 1993) and Southend United (in February 1996).

Barness left Chelsea in August 1996, and returned to Charlton Athletic for a fee of £165,000. He was an important and regular part of the Charlton team, managed by Alan Curbishley. In his first season back at The Valley, he was a virtual ever present and a top performer in a Charlton side struggling after the sale of Lee Bowyer. Barness suddenly left the first team in 1997 being replaced by Mark Bowen at left back and occasionally Paul Konchesky, and only made a handful of appearances from then on many at right back. Although Mark Bowen was an excellent performer for Charlton in the 97/98 season, many Charlton fans were perplexed by Anthony’s replacement as he’d been a very reliable player. Alan Curbishley was quoted at the time of dropping him, that he’d been virtually ever present the previous season and appeared close to burn out. Though the fans saw a minimal drop off in form, it retains a mystery why he fell out of favour with Alan Curbishley.

In February 2007, he had a trial with Yeovil Town. In March 2007, Barness signed for Grays Athletic until the end of the season, leaving two months later.
