Maybe even mid 80s to 90s, only Diego was a better dribbler. Had he played for a Napoli later, or Serie A he would have got alot more respect for his abilty.
I grew up on the same council estate in south Manchester as Roger Palmer who Barnesy mentioned. He was mates with my dad 😂 He played for Oldham and Man City. Good player.
Can not understand why idiots booed John. One of the most skillful players we ever had. I don't care if he was born in Jamaica, once he pulled that England shirt on he was ours. Loved the bloke.
No one had referenced the footage of Hodge securing the shirt back in 1986. Barnes himself only saw the footage in 2002. There was no youtube in 1986 to make a gif of Hodge wading through the swarm around Diego
Any manager at any of the Oldfirm is liable for the sack losing a couple of games where u come from matters not JB couldn't handle the pressure full stop
John Barnes hasn't a clue about Celtic. He claims he wouldn't be accepted? Bull! Celtic accept anyone and everyone. We had a Slovak manager prior to him and a Dutch manager prior to that. Celtic also had some of the first black and Asian players in Scotland in Gil Heron and Mohammed Salim. Utter mince from Barnes. That statement he made says more about Barnes than Celtic. He was way out his depth at Celtic. Should he have subsequently been a success elsewhere those claims may have held water but where has he been a success?? I wish him well, but he needs to quit talking sht about Celtic and its fan base.
I love John Barnes, my favourite LFC player, they say never meet your idols, I did and he was brilliant.
He never gets in any ‘best ever’ teams .. but between 87-90ish he was in the top 5 players in the world on his day!

Class act is Barnesy on and off the pitch
Such a refreshing podcast from Joe, great series
Joe's great interviewer. Humble guy.
Love Barnesy. Always honest and forthright
John Barnes a star om and off the pitch.
A total legend
Love Barnsey. Top top player, and what a great bloke off the pitch too.
John Barnes is a hero of mine and an idol (and I'm a Toffee!), he helped inspire White men as much as any other group!
Legend! YNWA ♥️
As a Newcastle fan it’s why I don’t have much care for England the way they go on when we lose is embarrassing especially after the euro final
The Maradona bit confused me John said Maradona gave his shirt away in 2002 not 86.
he was talking about watching the 1986 footage in 2002

The ball from the 1986 World Cup quarter final is selling for £2.5-£3m. Being sold by the Tunisian referee.
Racism is like Father Christmas, it only exists in the minds of those too immature to see the illogicality of it
Yeah yeah yeah

Next Watford Manager?
Why would he go there when they'd sack him after 2 months?
@@r4h4al v true. Wish someone would give him a coaching job
The best most skilful player Liverpool had He should have gone to Spain or Italy
And England should have built the team around him
Thanks John
JB-a
Not respected in the black community just like Frank Bruno and eubanks
Why?
I disagree. I feel many black people love him.

Any race baiting from Barnes? Normally the case these days. I'm out.
Hit a nerve did it mate
@@laughn0wcryl8r74 I didn't even watch it, so I was correct then? Haha.
unnecessary comment
Race baiting = his personal experiences
Pure quality as a player, but im tired of hearing him piss and moan all the time
