During the 1997–98 English football season, Barnsley competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

1997-98 was the first top-flight season in Barnsley's 102-year history, and, despite some courageous performances, their stay among the elite lasted just one season. They suffered from horrendous defeats and the leakiest defensive record in the division, conceding 82 goals. They were in the bottom three virtually all season long, though they did enjoy some success in the FA Cup, knocking out Manchester United in the fifth round[1] before bowing out to eventual runners-up Newcastle United in the quarter-final. Their relegation was confirmed a few weeks later,[2] and manager Danny Wilson then moved to South Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday. 35-year-old striker John Hendrie was appointed player-manager following Wilson's departure.
