Barnsley FC Promotion to the Premiership 26th April 1997

21 years ago to the day a little football club from South Yorkshire achieved the impossible and reached English footballs top table for the first time in its history. After beating Bradford City 2-0 at Oakwell the celebrations began. this bit of film shows how local news reported on this great day from the final whistle then over the next few days. Also included is a Yorkshire Television special "Its Just Like Watching Brazil" I've left the tape untouched so you get local goals at the beginning but this just adds to the charm.
