'''Nicholas Jon Barmby''' (born 11 February 1974) is an English [[association football|football]] coach and former professional player.

As a player, he played as a [[midfielder]] spending nearly his entire career in the [[Premier League]] for [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]], [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]], [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]]. He then had a brief spell with [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in the [[Football League]] before finishing his career with home town club [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] where during an eight-year spell he helped the club earn promotion from [[EFL League One|League One]] to the Premier League. He was capped 23 times by [[England national football team|England]] between 1995 and 2001, and was part of the [[Euro 96]] and [[Euro 2000]] squads. Barmby is one of only nine players to have scored Premier League goals for six different teams (the others being [[Nicolas Anelka]], [[Craig Bellamy]], [[Darren Bent]], [[Marcus Bent]], [[Andy Cole]], [[Peter Crouch]], [[Les Ferdinand]] and [[Robbie Keane]]).{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}

Following retirement, Barmby had a spell as Hull City manager, he later had a brief spell as first team coach at [[Scunthorpe United F.C.|Scunthorpe United]].

==Club career==
===Early career===
Growing up on the west side of [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]], Barmby played for local teams Springhead and National Tigers as a boy showing talent from a very early age. Consequently, he ended his education at the local [[Kelvin Hall High School]] (where he started in 1985) early to complete his studies at [[The Football Association]]'s School of Excellence, while also honing his skills for the professional game.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} His father, [[Jeff Barmby]], was also a player in his younger days and became his son's advisor and agent as his skills began to attract the attention of various clubs.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}

===Tottenham Hotspur===
Barmby eventually signed for [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]], joining them on leaving school in the summer of 1990. His first game for Tottenham was against [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] at [[Boothferry Park]] in a testimonial match for [[Garreth Roberts]], and he scored two goals.<ref name="City42">{{cite magazine|date=February 2009|title=Nick Barmby|magazine=City Magazine|publisher=Hull City AFC |issue= 42|pages=26–29}}</ref>

Having turned professional in April 1991 under the management of [[Terry Venables]], he made his competitive debut against [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]]<ref name="City42" /> on 27 September 1992 in the [[FA Premier League]], and established himself as a regular player [[1992–93 in English football|that season]], when still only 18 years old.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=38189 |title=Sporting Heroes |publisher=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=25 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222183343/http://sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=38189 |archive-date=22 December 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

During his time at the club he became one of [[Ossie Ardiles]]' five-man attack, along with [[Jürgen Klinsmann]], [[Teddy Sheringham]], [[Darren Anderton]] and [[Ilie Dumitrescu]]. He played 100 games and scored 27 goals in all competitions for Spurs,{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} playing on the losing side in two [[FA Cup]] semi-finals,{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} before becoming [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]]'s most expensive signing in a £5.25&nbsp;million deal in June 1995.<ref name="ClubHistory">{{cite web |url=http://www.mfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HistoryDetail/0,,1~352502,00.html |title=Club History: Winners At Last! 1986 to present |publisher=Middlesbrough FC |access-date=15 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821085104/http://www.mfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HistoryDetail/0,,1~352502,00.html |archive-date=21 August 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Everton===
In his first season at the club, Barmby and his new team found themselves in a Premier League relegation battle. However, they survived with a 15th-place finish as Barmby made 25 league appearances and scored four goals.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} He managed just two goals from 30 appearances the [[1997-98 in English football|following season]] as Everton finished just one place above relegation.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} Injuries restricted him to appearing in just 24 out of 38 league appearances in [[1998-99 in English football|1998–99]], as he scored three goals.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} His [[1999-2000 in English football|final season]] at [[Goodison Park]] saw him miss just one league game and find the net nine times,{{citation needed|date=July 2018}} though Everton finished only in 13th place.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=38191 |title=Sporting Heroes |publisher=Sporting-heroes.net |access-date=25 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222173032/http://sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=38191 |archive-date=22 December 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> On 26 February 2000, Barmby scored a [[List of Premier League hat-tricks|hat-trick]] in a 4–0 win against [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/feb/27/match.sport8 |title=Hammers crumble under Barmby hat-trick |access-date=18 July 2009 |date=27 February 2000 |first=Simon |last=Brunton |work=The Guardian }}</ref>
 
After nearly four years at Everton, during which Barmby played 114 league games and scored 18 goals, he headed across [[Stanley Park, Liverpool|Stanley Park]] to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] for a fee of £6&nbsp;million on 19 July 2000. It was the first time since striker [[Dave Hickson]] in 1959 that Everton had sold a player to Liverpool – although six players had moved in the opposite direction in the 41 years between Barmby's transfer and that of Hickson.<ref name="PastPlayer">{{cite web|url=http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/past_players/players/barmby/ |title=Past Player Profile: Nick Barmby |publisher=Liverpool FC |access-date=15 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810092515/http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/past_players/players/barmby/ |archive-date=10 August 2009 }}</ref>
