Nicholas Jonathan "Nick" Barmby (born 11 February 1974 in Hull, England) is an English footballer currently playing for Hull City, who has amassed a total of 23 caps for his country, his first appearance coming in 1995 and his most recent in 2001.

Growing up on the west side of Hull, he played for local teams Springhead and National Tigers as a boy, showing huge talent from a very early age. Consequently, he ended his education at the local Kelvin Hall High School (where he started in 1985) early in order to complete his studies at the FA's School Of Excellence, while also honing his skills for the professional game. 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.

Barmby eventually decided to sign for Tottenham Hotspur, where he established himself as a regular player in 1992-93, when still only 18 years old. He played 100 games and scored 27 goals in all competitions for Spurs, playing on the losing side in two FA Cup semi-finals, before becoming Middlesbrough's most expensive signing in a £5.25 million deal in June 1995. He stayed at Middlesbrough for 17 months, before heading to Everton, who paid a record £5.75 million for him. He stayed there for four seasons before doing the unthinkable, and heading across Stanley Park for Liverpool for a fee of £6 million. It was the first time since 1959 that Everton had sold a player to Liverpool.

He was involved in Liverpool's successful season of 2000–01 at Anfield (in which they won the FA Cup, Football League Cup and UEFA Cup), scoring 10 goals in total (including one against his previous club Everton in the Merseyside derby). Persistent injury and lack of form prompted his sale to Leeds United for £2.75 million, where he linked up with Terry Venables - his first-ever manager. It was there that he made his most recent top flight appearance. He spent a loan spell at Nottingham Forest during the 2003–04 season,[1] before moving back to his hometown club, Hull City.[2] He helped City to promotion from League One in his first season at the club with nine goals, including the fastest goal in City's history, after seven seconds in a match against Walsall on Saturday 6 November 2004. He played for Hull in the 2007-08 Football League Championship campaign, during which they were promoted through the Championship play-offs to the Premier League, when a season earlier they came close to being relegated to League One.

Barmby's England career stretched to 13 starts and 10 substitute appearances accounting for four goals, including the first goals of Glenn Hoddle's and Sven-Göran Eriksson's reigns as England manager, in a 1996 3–0 World Cup qualifier victory against Moldova and a 2001 3–0 friendly victory over Spain at Villa Park, Birmingham. Barmby played for his country at Euro 96 and Euro 2000, and also played in England's historic 5–1 away victory over rivals Germany on 1 September 2001.
