Alex Dempsey's old youth team coach from Sheffield Wednesday, who comes to the club to give Alex some answers on the owner's influence on his life. Barry tells Alex they never knew who was behind it all, but the board were made to give him a contract, and would never have had the money to send Alex to a specialist in America without the benefactor's input. Barry therefore cannot deny how Alex wasn't good enough to make it on his own as a player, which hurts him.

In order to pay Jimmy, Ryan needed to borrow money from Eugene, who was also out. Ryan made Eugene believe Jimmy was a loan shark, and without his knowledge, Gene brought some of his heavies to give Jimmy a beating.
