Barry Silkman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barry Silkman, born Stepney 29 June 1952 is a former professional footballer who had a brief career in midfield at Manchester City in 1979 and a longer career at Leyton Orient (1981-1985).
He also played for Hereford United (1974-1976), Crystal Palace (1976-1978), Plymouth Argyle (1978-1979), Luton Town (on loan 1979), Brentford (1980), Queens Park Rangers (1980-1981), Southend United (1985-1986) and Crewe Alexandra (1986).
It was at Plymouth that he first came to the attention of Malcolm Allison, who deemed him to be a suitable player to bolster Manchester City's midfield as they struggled in the First Division, although it was soon evident that this was a mistake and Silkman moved on to Brentford.
He is now a successful greyhound trainer, and a players' agent.
