Barry Wilson - farewell message.

I have been following up Barry Wilson's move from ICT to Queen of the South and in the course of that, Barry has asked me if I would post a message of thanks on this board from himself to the Caley Thistle fans.

The formalities of the move will be signed tomorrow and his contract at Inverness, which was to expire on 19th January, will be terminated on January 1st. Barry will therefore be eligible to make his QoS debut v Morton this Saturday and will also be clear to play in the Cup on January 10th since he is not yet cuptied.

CaleyThistle fans not travelling to Hamilton on January 17th will have a chance to say farewell to him in Dingwall that day when QoS are away to Ross County.

Barry was especially keen that his appreciation should be communicated to the fans, and in particular he mentioned this website where he asked for this post to be made.

"They've said a lot of supportive things about me there and I would like them to know I appreciate that. The Caley Thistle fans have been great to me ever since I went there first in 1996 and I really would like to thaqnk them all for that," he said.

The statistics are - 353 appearances (bettered only by Ross Tokely and Richard Hastings), 83 goals - bettered only by Dennis Wyness). These goals include the last of the previous and the first of the current millennium, the opener at Celtic Park on Feb 8th 2000, a goal in the defeat of St. Johnstone which won the Division 1 title and an especially memorable lob of the keeper in a Scottish Cup tie at Motherwell.

Thanks Barry for everything you have done whilst at ICT. Always a danger to opponents and your career speaks for itself. Great memories, Motherwell cup goal, 1-3 v Celtic, promotion winning day all fantastic.

ps, sorry for nearly falling on top of you and your wife at the Elton John Concert, the wine was lovely that day.

Have a good one Bazza,

cheers.

Millenium Man = Barry Wilson, a gentleman player and has legendary status for eternity with the legions of fans at ICT.

I can only thank you for soooo many great memories, never too be forgotten. :rotflmao: :thumb04:

Legend, only met him once and he was a true gent.

Barry you have made a big contribution to the success of this club over the years and have provided many entertaining moments (how I dream of being entertained again!). I wish you every success at QoS and thank you for the memories.

A true ICT Legend and would be in the starting team of true club legends

Once again another legend and player who can play a bit of football treated shabbily by the dim witted bulb who passes himself of as the manager

What happened Bulb? Another player who had a voice

Goodbye Barry and thanks for many years of entertainment. A Caley Thistle great who always gave 100% and always had time for the supporters and supporters, especially the kids.

Thought your experience might have been valuable till the end of this season to get us out of this hole Brew's got us into. Looks like we'll be seeing you four times next season - unless something is done now.

All the best for the future, you've still got a lot to give - on and off the park.
