Fair enough lads, maybe its not as big to me because John Barnes was playing when I was a young one and didn't so I never really seen him play.
Then you don't know just how much you missed. At his best he is a valid contender for best ever LFC player. His pace, power and incredible dribbling skills especially in tight places, his ability to bend a ball or free kick. I am not kidding if you lifted him from 1988 to now and put him in this team with NO other transfers we would win the title. He was that good. Have a look on utube or buy a DVD of him.
