Who is Barry Smith?

Barry Smith is a former Scottish footballer and current manager of Alloa Athletic. Smith played in the right back, centre back, and defensive midfielder roles for Celtic, Dundee, Valur, Partick Thistle, Greenock Morton and Brechin City before entering management with Dundee.

Smith combined his playing duties while on loan at Brechin City with managing the Dundee U-19 side before taking on the role of first team manager following the departure of previous manager Gordon Chisholm who was made redundant when the club went into administration in October 2010. Already admitted into Dundee's Hall of Fame for making 400 appearances, scoring three goals and captaining the side from 1997 until 2006, Smith's status as a club legend was cemented when he led the team to a club record 23-game unbeaten streak in the league.
