He put in the best individual performance I have seen in a game against St Helens at the KC and was only on the pitch for about 20 minutes - time enough to demolish saints with a couple of tries and assists.
Him and Colin Best were a great combination. Neither here long enough to be in the all time list perhaps but on their day as good as those that are.
Would also add that Shane Mcmenamy was also outstanding in that semi final with the rest not far behind.
Agree, loved that combo, barnet could hit so hard, loved it, would of liked best to of stayed longer
Was made up when we signed Barnett from London. Had admired him for a while. Loved him at centre, had some mongrel in him. Liked Muggleton as well. Wasn't he Sterlos brother in law?

Indeed he was, but I think a few have somewhat rose tinted glasses on here. Muggleton was good, but at the end of the day, he was only here for a couple of seasons Max (did he play for more than just the 84/85 season?). IMO in the time I have watched Hull FC (since 1981) the 2nd rowers I would highlight would be Lee Crooks, Mick Crane (when not playing LF), Ellis, Willie Manu, and Mini.

Manu would be on my bench with the 2 props and either ellis or muggleton. to be honest, and its a bit controversial, but never liked it when we had crane and norton in the same starting team. both great players, but its a question of balance i guess.

Certainly mentioned out here by pundits as one of the best ever players to have played after coming from the ERL. Rated in the Top 5 or 6 by some.
In the forwards he would be in my top 3. Mal Reilly for me is No1.
