League Cup tie, and he almost scored a hat trick, but his third goal was ruled offside.[4] Barnes was eventually sold to Birmingham City

Six months later, Burnley paid a club record fee of £375,000 for his services.[5] He scored 30 goals in 65 league matches for the Turf Moor club,[1] which included all five goals in a 5–2 victory over Stockport County.[6] Barnes left Burnley in January 1998 for Huddersfield Town in a swap deal with Andy Payton, but failed to establish himself in the Huddersfield side and left for Bury in March 1999 for a £40,000 fee.[7]

In 2003, he helped
