By Cody Griffin
12) Horace Barnes
Horace Barnes was an English footballer who played as a youngster for Wadsley Bridge, before kicking off professionally for Derby County in 1908. Barnes went on to join Manchester City in 1914 for a transfer fee only £2,500. Barnes went on to feature at City for the next decade, scoring 127 times for the club including several great performances in the FA Cup.
Barnes is widely regarded as one of the greatest Manchester City players of all-time, and like many players at the time, he temporarily left football behind during World War II, to assemble munitions and aid the war effort. Horace Barnes had a street named after him 1977 in the greater Manchester area, and his legacy lives on.
