tinoasprilla Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Great cameo performance on as a sub v Argentina in 86. He was garbage for us. One of the worst performances i ever witnessedwas a 2 1 home defeat to Crystal Palace. Him and batty played centre mid and i swear never passed the ball forward once. It was like the chuckle brothers to me to you. Just dreadful that will be my memory of him Rush, Barnes and Pearce total waste of wages from the Entertainers to Magnolia in a season. Daglish was turd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Brilliant for Liverpool, not that great for England, better than expected for us. Amongst that shit show of a team KD managed to assemble he was a shining light, didn't really get a lot of credit at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Lives around the corner from me in a house that any journeyman footballer nowadays would turn his nose up at. Shows how the game has changed money wise. He would be a millionaire 10 times over in the current market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst that shit show of a team KD managed to assemble he was a shining light, didn't really get a lot of credit at the time. Not to mention, by that time he was a busted flush. If you want to judge him, should be at his peak when he was playing for Liverpool. He was fantastic then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I remember when it came out he was on £10k a week at Liverpool, people we're appalled. It was rumoured to be double what Bryan Robson was on and I think he was England captain at the time. Barnes was that valuable to Liverpool though.

Ketsbaia Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 When Dalglish came in and sold Ferdinand and Ginola, whilst bringing in the decrepit Barnes, Rush and Pearce. Ergh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Wright went to Celtic in '99 when he was finished, and is actually a few days older than John Barnes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Way before my time but good memories of him on Channel 5 during our UEFA cup exploits! Again though, I was too young to be aware if he was chatting shite the whole time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Was our top scorer in the league in 97-98. With six. Cheers Kenny Daggers. Miles past it then as well. With Watford and for a time at Liverpool he made things look effortless. Didn't help he played in an era when English fans were still in a Neanderthal era when it came to racism.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Well that went better than expected. So how much would someone like Barnes be worth today? I have to say when he played for us, I thought he was quite decent and classy at times, scoring a few goals along the way. Seems a canny bloke as well. Didn't know about the pron stuff though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
