Before, during & after Southend
Barnett joined Southend from Tottenham in 1929 for a reported £100 and became a tireless presence on the right wing. He played 187 first-team games and scored 38 goals, rarely missing a match in his first seasons. Among his appearances was the extraordinary 1930 trip to Wembley to play a league fixture against Clapton Orient. After Southend he moved to Watford, then Dartford.
