John Barnes

Great watch that. I was welling up at the end .

I do think players like Sterling don't know what they'll miss if they leave now. As Barnes says at 20-21 you don't understand the true significance of what you have. I think that's particularly apt at the moment.

900k for pure genius, and ****s like City are spunking 50 mill on bellends like Sterling and De Brunye.

Sterling is a good player. Not even sure Barnes was that good at his age.

He was better, miles better. Just never had the exposure, and scouting has come a long way since them days. A young John Barnes would have been snapped up in his teens by one of the big clubs.

and by the time we gave him games in the first team he would have been drained of any enthusiasm and love for the game, then six months later he would be out of contract and he would move on a free.

Would be an "outstanding" wing back under the bould BR.

He'd be playing centre back under Rodgers....

Or sent on loan to Derby!

I used to think it was like having a proper Brazilian legend in the team, he just made it look so natural and easy, classy, always a thought ahead of his opponents, the ball just seemed to fly off his foot like it was a magic wand, sending it on a faultless trajectory to it's intended destination.

My favourite liverpool player, left foot, right foot goals, headers, brilliant crosser and passer, great at set pieces and a great man.

[Fosterbloke]

We're so **** scared of conceding possession that no one keeps making the forward run any more. Do players not practice one twos on the move? Seems to be how we unlocked many teams.

Really interesting interview with Barnes in the Guardian at the moment
"John Barnes: ‘I would never advise a young black player to walk off’"

I'm never sure about copyright rules on here, but it isn't hard to find.

Phew!! I thought he was dead.

Thank God!

Phew!! I thought he was dead.

Thank God!

I'm pretty sure there'd be a dedicated thread to prominent people connected to LFC.

[Liverpool]

Phew!! I thought he was dead.

Thank God!

My thoughts too!
