Player of the weekend

Last updated : 13 March 2007 By Gary Moss

Barnet's Olly Allen


The Bee's striker had quite a significant weekend. His goal set up Barnet for a crucial three points that could preserve their League Two status for another season. Surely now ten points clear of the drop, they are safe.


Allen, 20, scored a neatly curled 25-yard strike in his side's 3-1 win over in-form Stockport County. His strike drew the game level after Tes Bramble put the Hatters in front and also marked the first time County keeper Wayne Hennessey had to pick the ball out of the net for 862 minutes.


Clive...Famous father of young gun Olly
Son of famous Clive Allen is having a superb run in the Barnet side, scoring in each of his previous and only four starts for the club. Goals against Wrexham, Walsall and Swindon have made him a hot prospect at Underhill.


Fans are hoping the hit man can fill the boots of departed Tresor Kandol who left for Leeds United in the January transfer window.


The front man has risen through the ranks at Barnet and for that reason is that extra bit special to the black and amber followers. Still living in his father's shadows, who will be most remembered for netting 49 goals in one season at Tottenham Hotspur, young Olly Allen will not be short of ambition to fulfil his footballing potential.
