12 . Gorams ?

Lewis Goram was on the books but never made an appearance.

7 he is a fan of the Cure especially Robert Smith who wore/wears a black armband so this a homage to him
(Sorry I cheated and looked this up)

Read it on a Barnsley Fans Forum after a mate asked me at a game what the black arm band was all about ?

Thought it was a cracking piece of trivia and would be going right into the Christmas Quiz :greengrin

That answer for 7 has to be made up?! 😂 Nicky Cadden loves the colour black and has done ever since he was a child, owing to his mother's gothic tendancies and love for Bauhaus and early Adam and the Ants. Cadden naturally became a goth in his teenage years, growing obsessed with The Cure. Having once seen a black armband on the arm of Robert Smith, Cadden sought to imitate his idol.

He never leaves the house without the black armband. Indeed, he grew so attached to it he even procured a waterproof black armband so he can wear it in the shower whilst humming "Boys Don't Cry", and on the traditional boxing day swimathon in the River Clyde. No longer satiated with the black armband, Nicky took up the popular martial art Tae Kwon Do, to obtain a black belt as quickly as possible, it being much easier to achieve than in other martial arts such as karate or Jiu-Jitsu, as is widely acknowledged. Cadden is very proud of both his black armband and his black belt
