*Club domestic league appearances and goals

A skilful and dynamic winger, Barrowclough began his career with his hometown club Barnsley and his performances from a handful of first-team appearances caught the eye of clubs in higher divisions. He joined Newcastle United in 1970, scoring on his debut against Burnley and became a key player down the wing for much of the decade. Whilst at Newcastle he picked up a League Cup losers medal following the Magpies 2-1 Wembley defeat to Manchester City. Barrowclough later played for Birmingham City and Bristol Rovers before returning to Barnsley, where he contributed to the club's early 80s resurgence. He finished his League career with Mansfield Town.[3] He represented England at under-23 level.[4]

His son Carl Barrowclough was also a professional footballer.[3]
