Excentric, easy going, more of a bad boy popstar than a professional cyclist. That’s a short description of Barclay Hughley. Football hooligan, he spent his teenage years attending some anger management groups and other darker places such as british prisons, before his father grabbed him by the shoulders and told him to grow up. He went to Warsaw to watch a game of his beloved Manchester City when some talent hunters of a polish team grabbed him by the arm. "You're 2 hours late, we need to run up the physical test."
Barclay insisted it was a mistake, however he was introduced as the new cyclist of the team and his career in the OCM Universe began.

Barclay insisted it was a mistake, however he was introduced as the new cyclist of the team and his career in the OCM Universe began. Lack of luck, discipline and numerous scandals fed up his manager and the young british lad ended up in the middle of an airport in a not so cool place for a british (Dublin). Spending a whole night in a Police station after "crossing words" with a "sober irish", Barclay returned to Manchester to be in charge of Man City's official fanclub.
He forgot to request his retirement at Don's HQ and suddenly, poor Barclay; escorted out of his apartament by OCM agents, was forced again to sign another contract. The next years OCM witnessed lots of scandals, from wild parties after races to illegal bets to influence race results. Until he found someone with similar but moderate behaviour on french rider Dorian Val at Silenzio.
You'd ask yourself, how can be possible a french and a british become best friends, just like that? Both Dorian and Barclay shared the passion for drinking and dating ladies, which caused them a lot of trouble, basically the husbands were envious of a pair of loser cyclists dating their women. When Barclay moved to Amstel Flanders thanks to his (bad) taste, Dorian followed so they enjoyed their last days doing the same.
Barclay retired at the very first days of S58, claiming that Aston Villa had scammed his beloved team due to a astronomical transfer fee. The very first thing he did when he become a free agent, Barclay contacted important people of Monaco, the place of his most luxurious result and now is owner of his legitimate business, bets and sport predictions.
