Many people confused Stuart Barlow with the famous TV doctor, Doogie Howser MD (aka Neil Patrick Harris). However, despite the fact that they have never been seen together, they are not the same person. One was a teen prodigy, showered with riches and rave reviews.... the other played for Sherwood Park, Everton, Rotherham, Oldham, Wigan, Tranmere, Stockport, Bury, Morecambe and Southport... Stuart Barlow's career DID have some highlights.... Mostly in relative terms... Including his stints as a cult hero at Wigan and Tranmere. But perhaps the most telling sign of his career (and his status as a Journeyman Footballer) is the fact that he moved between ten different clubs in seventeen years, for a grand total of £395,000. For those of you in the know, that's three weeks' wages for Andriy Shevchenko... A goals per game average of 0.26 doesn't help either...Thursday, 11 October 2007

good old Jigsaw... he fell to pieces in the box
He's a legend and always will be. Scored two hat-tricks in four days once for Tranmere.
Doogie Nights! My mate is an avid Wigan fan and he really had to grit his teeth as he admitted to his right to be included on this list... Even you have to admit that Tim! You just damned him with stats though, because if you take away two hat-tricks, it means he scored just 13 goals in a further 92 appearances for Tranmere (incl. coming off the bench...) Sorry! 'Cult hero' stands: legend doesn't bear closer scrutiny really...
