He agreed to run several coaching clinics across the Caribbean for young players with the possibility of them joining Premier League side Sunderland on trial. However, Robson stayed in his job and kept faith in his favoured front four. That's much more satisfying than just having it come easily. This was revealed in Ferguson’s autobiography Managing My Life in 1999. It's always better to start off with no money and get it later on, whereas where I am now, I've got no money, but had money then. Defeat on the final day of the season relegated the Addicks back to Division One, and Barnes announced his retirement as a player after 20 years. More than 110,000 supporters worldwide voted for their 10 favourite players of all time, Barnes finished 5th behind Robbie Fowler (4th), Ian Rush (3rd), Steven Gerrard (2nd) and the man that signed him three times (for Liverpool, Newcastle and Celtic) Kenny Dalglish (1st). You can always try to make the glass bigger in the future. Barnes knew it was the last straw when even his MBE from the Queen was overlooked by Gullit after a presentation had been given to Stuart Pearce for receiving one – this was in the winter of 1998 and he knew he was unwanted. Former record-breaking England footballer John Barnes, 45, has learned a lot of hard lessons about money since he quit the top flight. I don't even like opening them. For three or four years at the end of the ’80s, John was possibly the best player in the world.”. Take for example, when people say 'a glass is half empty', and to be positive you should say 'a glass is half full'. Oh, much more cautious because I just don't have the money to spend on what I want. Barnes was first married to and subsequently divorced Suzy and they have two sons and two daughters: Jamie, Jordan, Jemma and Jasmin. The young teenager attended the rugby-playing St Marylebone Grammar School followed by a short stint at Haverstock School, Camden Town. He had missed just three Premier League games in his final season at Anfield, scoring four goals (including a memorable late winner against Southampton just after Christmas) as they had led the table for much of the first half of the season before being overhauled by eventual champions Manchester United at the end of January and having to settle for a fourth-place finish. Barnes was voted Football Writer’s Player of the Year, and expectations from England manager Bobby Robson were also high, seeing Barnes as a key component in the buildup to Italia 90. In 2008, the team entered the British Touring Car Championship, running Alfa Romeos for white Jamaican Matthew Gore and 18-year-old black Briton Darelle Wilson. In 2000, Barnes presented a one off soccer special with Lisa Rodgers entitled The Pepsi World Challenge, devised and produced by Nathan Carey and airing on Channel 5 in the UK. I bought a five-bedroom house a few years ago in Liverpool, after renting for four years. Barnes’ father was a huge squash and football fan who encouraged his son to pursue sports, having named him after legendary Welsh footballer John Charles.

Nevertheless, he remained in the top ten most capped players list for eleven years until David Beckham and then Gary Neville edged him out from ninth to 11th. In 2005 he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame. Under Evans, Barnes and young players like Steve McManaman, Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Fowler (who had been given their debuts by either Dalglish or Souness) began playing attractive, attacking football, and were starting to look like title contenders again after several years of dominance in the title race by Manchester United as well as the likes of Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. He also claimed Liverpool supporters had written to him not to join the club, as well as being abused by opposition players. I don't have a credit card and don't want one. This was the first time Barnes had played in European competitions since Watford’s 1983-84 UEFA Cup campaign. He also collected a league title medal, as Liverpool finished champions with just two league defeats all season. England’s former most capped black player won 79 caps and scored 11 goals, but compared to his club form, he was never seen as a player who peaked when wearing an England shirt. Tom Finney remarked on Barnes’ talents that “Players like John Barnes come along just once in a lifetime.”. When you look at the front of the house you don't imagine there's a garden, except the garden's better than the house really. Bobby Robson did not use Barnes at the 1986 World Cup until the quarter final against Argentina when England were trailing 2–0 with 15 minutes to go. He has since applied to become the manager of the Rwandan national team with Stephen Garside as his Youth Team Coach. He made his debut for England in 1983 and four years later joined Liverpool for £900,000. In particular Barnes, Beardsley, Houghton and Aldridge were instrumental in Liverpool’s 5–0 win over Nottingham Forest on 13 April 1988, a game which Tom Finney described as “the finest exhibition I’ve seen the whole time I’ve played and watched the game.

Souness later stated in his autobiography that Barnes due to his injuries was now taking a “less demanding” central midfield playmaker’s role as opposed to a winger with a goalscoring touch. "The first punch landed on my jaw. In Graham Taylor’s first match as England Manager (against Hungary), Barnes had appeared to be attacking positively and beating players and using the ball well. He wrote and performed the rap section of New Order’s “World in Motion” as well as appearing on the track “Anfield Rap”, a Liverpool FC FA Cup Final song, rapping the lyrics “Liverpool FC is hard as hell/ United, Tottenham, Arsenal”, and performing lead rap in Liverpool’s ’96 cup final song Pass & Move (It’s the Liverpool Groove). He was John Barnes, England international, Liverpool player, once, but not now. So all the clothes I buy now are from high street shops like Primark, but I'm happy. I've always said when you have children you love them, take care of them and give them understanding, and when they're old enough you have to let them go, so I'm not holding on to them at all. Barnes made his debut for the Reds, along with Beardsley, on 15 August 1987 in the 2–1 league win over Arsenal at Highbury.
