There’s something incredibly poignant about this artwork on the road to Oakwell.
The “Barnsley Babes” mural is far more than football art, it’s a tribute to two sons of Barnsley, Mark Jones and Tommy Taylor, whose lives were tragically lost in the Munich Air Disaster of 1958.
Every matchday, supporters pass this piece on their way to Oakwell. Amid the noise, it stands quietly reminding the town of its history, its heartbreak, and its deep connection to the game.
A beautiful tribute that ensures their names and story continue to live on in Barnsley forever.
