Barry Kitchener (born 11 December 1947, Dagenham, England) is an English former professional footballer. He played for Millwall F.C. between 1966 and 1982. Kitchener signed for Millwall in August 1965 and made his Millwall debut on 11 February 1967 at left back, against Birmingham replacing the injured Harry Cripps. In his next game Kitchener scored against Sheffield Utd, hitting a 30 yard screamer past the England goalkeeper Alan Hodgkinson. On the return of Cripps to the side, he played in every game that season at centre half, retaining the number five shirt for the rest of his career. His total of 602 appearances remains a club record.^[1] He recently released an autobiographical DVD titled 60 Minutes with Barry Kitchener, and in May 2007 was voted by fans to represent Millwall in the P.F.A.
