that Digger taught Brazil how to play

 

Here's some classic Barnes for Liverpool http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=dzGouuyt2Cc

Put a young John Barnes in our current team and we'd be unbeatable.

You know something. As daft as this sounds, I always thought he was called Digger because his initials were JCB. Obviously not.

A washing machine making company.

[Kuyt-fever]

The most gifted player I ever saw in a reds shirt. A fantastic dribbler and a football brain rarely seen on wingers. Acted like a Liverpool player too.

[mally]

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

He is a legend. I am surprised he was not offered any job to become coaching staff at our club.

have you seen him present on channel 5? now imagine those team talks.

[Flasher]

What a player. Met him when he was at Watford. Sooooooo happy when he joined us. He was brilliant at Watford, and even better with us.

 

Still got the John Barnes Story on VHS somewhere. His footwork with the ball was just incredible. Up there with the best. He was quite quick originally too.

[Hassony]

I remember when Ravanelli scored a hatrick on his debut againt liverpool and he practically begged Barnes for his shirt

Now you know what a ganja-free Jamaican sounds like!

[Berger]

Barnes deserves his chance.

 

He doesnt talked like doping.

Some players should realise they're not that good as managers.
