7 years ago I convinced nat to lace up her boots again and try and help me build a reserve ladies team for Bideford, sadly that never happened for many reasons, since then she has always supported me in women's football, and coached my kids Riley and crystal in youth football as well as many others and made children feel alive, she also made many coaches laugh with her approach to coaching 😃⚽, along with all that she was always a good support to me whilst as a coach at Bideford whilst I battled my own mental health and for that she will never be forgotten, sadly she was and man u fan and I could not coach her Leeds were better 🤣⚽, I just want to thank Natalie Barnes for everything and encourage everyone to please come along and honour nat tomorrow at Appledore Football Club, top coach top friend, and share many happy memories of her that her family can cherish ❤️⚽

All our love

Sending our thoughts to Natalie Barnes family, a good friend to a lot of our current players, such heartbreaking news, she had been full of life, a great character, great player, good friend, and a fantastic football coach to many young players and will be a massive miss to everyone 💔⚽

Deeply saddened to be told that former player and captain Nat has passed away. A great player and an even better person! Our captain during our treble winning 2016/17 season. After playing, Nat focused on coaching with our youth section.
Rest in peace Nat. Thank you for your service and being a true icon for the club.
Thoughts are with her family, friends and former teammates.
