Shaun Barker Biography
Shaun Barker is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on September 19, 1982 in Trowell, England, United Kingdom. Shaun Barker (born 19 September 1982) is an English former professional footballer who was a defender.
In the second part of the 2008-09 season in which Tony Parkes took over as manager in caretaker mode, “Reggie”, as was known to Blackpool fans, was promoted to his normal centre-back position and was able to secure his place in the position. His performance led to him being considered for an offer to Derby County and Derby County, a possibility that Blackpool chair Karl Oyston angrily dismissed, noting”that “we’ve not had an offer from Derby… so unless anything changes drastically between now and August then he [Barker] will be starting here next season”. The news was later made public that Derby had made an official bid for Barker that was thought to be around the range of PS400,000, but was turned down.
Barker joined Derby County on 15 July 2009, for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £900,000, signing a three-year contract. Barker made his Derby début as an 89th-minute substitute in a 3–2 defeat to Scunthorpe United on 15 August, his start to the season being delayed by a slight hamstring strain. He made his first start for Derby in a 1–0 defeat to Sheffield United on 12 September, going on to make thirteen consecutive appearances and scoring his first goal for the club in a 3–2 defeat to Barnsley on 15 September. However, having been playing through a thigh injury, a scan after Derby’s 2–1 win over Reading on 28 November revealed that the tear in his thigh muscle had gotten worse, ruling him out for several weeks. Barker made his return from injury with a substitute appearance in Derby’s FA Cup win over Millwall on 12 January 2010 and started the next game, a 3–0 win over Peterborough on 16 January. From this point Barker shrugged off the injury problems that had curtailed the earlier part of his season and finished the season with a run of 23 consecutive appearances, scoring twice (the third in a 3–0 win over Newcastle United and the equaliser in a 1–1 draw away to Q.P.R.) to take his tally for the season to five. Barker enjoyed a successful first season with Derby and, although the side struggled in the league, only achieving safety in the 44th fixture, he was awarded The Jack Stamps Trophy before the final game of the season against Cardiff City, his second successive Player of the Year award after winning Blackpool’s 2008/09 award. Whilst Derby finished midtable in 2009/10, Barker’s former club Blackpool earned promotion to the Premier League leading some observers to suggest he might regret the decision to move to a supposed bigger club. Of this Barker said,
Barker was named Derby’s Vice Captain ahead of the 2010/11 campaign and started the season as first choice centrehalf alongside Dean Leacock. His first goal of the season came in the ninth match, as he netted a crucial equaliser against Middlesbrough in first half stoppage time that spurred The Rams onto a 3–1 win. On 14 December 2010, it was also announced he had signed a new 3⁄2 deal with the club, taking him through until July 2014. Although Derby once again struggled, Barker featured in every game bar one – which he missed due to suspension – throughout the campaign up until safety was assured on Easter Monday 2011. With safety assured, he had surgery on a knee problem which had been an issue throughout most of his two years at Derby and had prevented him from training for the majority of the end of the 2010–11 season.
Barker was signed by Blackpool on August 2nd, 2006 as a free transfer following his rejection of two offers for an extension from Rotherham. He signed a contract for two years with an option to extend it for an additional year. While he was initially signed as a centre-half player, he was also used in the right-back position.

Because he would miss the 2012–13 season due to his injury, Barker was not given a squad number, with Nigel Clough allocating his no.5 shirt to Jake Buxton. Despite this, Clough stated that Barker will play an “important part” in the season as club captain despite being on the sidelines all season. Clough said; “Shaun is going to be as important as ever; he is a great leader. He will be around the place and it will be a case of us supporting him, then him supporting us as well. We will help get Shaun through the next 12 months or so, but we feel as though he can be a major positive on the first team squad. He won’t be moping around, he won’t be sulking, he will be his usual positive self around the place and he is good to have around.” Clough also said he saw similarities between Barker and club capatin Richard Keogh, who joined the club as a replacement for the sold Jason Shackell. Despite this injury, Barker signed a one-year extension to his contract in September 2012, which extended his stay at the club until the summer of 2015. In February 2013. eleven months after his injury, it was reported that Barker had undergone three further operations and his rehab was stepped up by taking part in swimming sessions, Barker stated his relief at being able to exercise and step his recovery outside of Derby’s training facility at Moor Farm and was again hopeful for a return to the Derby County team.
