Editing Linvoy Primus (section)

===Barnet===
Primus first rejected a trial with [[Crewe Alexandra F.C.|Crewe Alexandra]] before accepting one with [[Cardiff City F.C.|Cardiff City]]. Just three days before his trial with Cardiff was set to begin [[Ray Clemence]], the [[Barnet F.C.|Barnet]] manager, offered Primus a two-year contract with the club. It was later revealed that Clemence was told by his assistant, Terry Harvey, that he should sign him immediately: "Get in now and sign him, if he goes down to Cardiff and sees their stadium he will sign for them."<ref>{{cite book | last= Primus| page = 40| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref> Primus was determined to prove Charlton wrong and says he "grew from a boy to a man" at Barnet. This was also a time when depression was common for Primus, and he became addicted to [[Alcoholic beverage|alcohol]] and drugs such as [[MDMA|ecstasy]] and [[Lysergic acid diethylamide|LSD]].<ref name="Southend Christians"/><ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| page = 53| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref>

In the second game of the [[1994–95 in English football|1994–95 season]] against [[Leyton Orient F.C.|Leyton Orient]], Primus made his debut as a [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] coming on for the injured [[Mark Newson]]. His next appearance for Barnet, against [[Scarborough F.C.|Scarborough]], was described as the "worst performance of [his] career" in his autobiography. He went on to say that he was "weighed down by the burden of expectation" and heard someone say he was the "worst player we've ever had at Barnet". He was often nervous before matches and recited the [[Lord's Prayer]] as a way of coping with his [[anxiety]].<ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| pages = 43–45| chapter = From a boy to a man| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref> At the end of the season, Primus was runner-up in the voting for the Player of the Season and was man of the match on several occasions.<ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| page = 49| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref> Barnet had a poor start to the [[1995–96 in English football|next season]] and they were at the bottom of the table in mid-September. After beating [[Northampton Town F.C.|Northampton Town]] 2–0, Barnet went on an 11-game winning streak which ended at [[Colchester United F.C.|Colchester United]] despite Primus scoring a goal.<ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| page = 51| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref> He would go on to score five goals in the season; more than any other season in his career.<ref name="Soccerbase"/> Once again, he was runner-up in the Player of the Season award, this time to the [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]] [[Maik Taylor]].<ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| page = 52| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref>

His [[1996–97 in English football|third season]] for the club was an unsettled one. The club went through three different managers after the departure of Clemence: [[Terry Bullivant]] (twice), [[Terry Gibson]] and [[Alan Mullery]]. Nevertheless, Barnet narrowly avoided [[Promotion and relegation|relegation]] to the [[Football Conference|Conference]] and Primus was awarded the Player of the Season and given the [[Captain (association football)|captaincy]] after a season which saw him make 46 league appearances. After Bullivant left for [[Reading F.C.|Reading]], however, Primus became unsettled and said "[I was] hankering after a move to join Terry [Bullivant] and Pards [Alan Pardew] at Reading".<ref>{{cite book| last= Primus| pages = 54–56| title = Linvoy Primus: Transformed}}</ref>
