I read these forums all the time and never post, but for John Barnes, I have to! Anybody remember a goal he scored at the kop end against Villa? He cut in from the left and put so much bend on it! Nigel Spink said it was the best goal he`d ever conceded.

He made me somewhat miserable as a child. My cousin was probably the first person who really got me into football when I was a youngster, and he's 5/6 years older than I am, and he absolutely loved John Barnes. I always felt as though I was missing something out as a kid because wingers were my favourite players. I absolutely loved McManaman, he was my favourite player. I also loved watching Ginola, Kinkladze and for my sins, Kanchelskis and Giggs. Those wonderfully direct wingers who could beat a man (or three) with ease. When I went on and on about these players I was always greeted with the same old "John Barnes was better" - it stung. My abiding memory of John Barnes is the double one-two with Rush, the "Collymore closing in..." moment. It took me another 10 years to find out that this wasn't even Barnes' definitive "double one-two".

By the time I finally got around to seeing the 'real' John Barnes I'd already been told enough to know that he was on a different level to my boyhood heroes. I've seen most of the famous Barnes moments through things like Youtube now, and it's easy to see why he was so loved. Two of my favourite Liverpool goals are from Barnes. The Brentford (I think?) one where he gets the ball on the half way line and goes past two players with absolute ease, and sells one of the best step-overs I've ever seen. The other is the QPR (?) one where he wins the ball himself on the half way line and ends up almost going through two defenders before slotting with his right foot. It's the ease with which he does it that's just spectacular.

Sadly though, I know I'll never be able to 'get' Barnes the same way as people who were around to see him live. For as much as I'm able to appreciate some of the things he did, I'll never quite have the appreciation of those who saw it happen, because I know it's coming. That's the thing with only seeing clips and videos, you know you're seeing the finished article. I can't fully comprehend the speed his mind was working at, because in all these things he's making it up as he goes along. I'll never fully be able to appreciate the goal against Brazil, for example, because to me I'll always think that was his intention from the off. The reality though is that his mind was probably working at an unbelievable pace - no one sets off to beat 3 players and slot it in, that's stupidity. That goal, like Maradona's against England, probably happened in segments where he was looking for a team-mate, but the best option was just to keep on going. He's constantly adjusting to what's going on around him in that particular moment. Looking back you can never appreciate the spontaneity of it. I know, even before I see how it's done, that there's a goal coming at the end of it. It ruins the magic a little. I know what the end result is before I see how it got to that point. I would have loved to have just seen Barnes live, not knowing what exactly he was going to do. I bet for every goal that's archived, there are hundreds of little runs with the ball where he skips past 2 or 3 players and just lays the ball off to a team mate.

It's my biggest - I don't want to say regret because that would imply I had a choice in the matter - disappointment that I missed out on Barnes' first 4 seasons at Liverpool. It's clear just from watching clips that he was on a different level, but clips will never do someone like Barnes the justice he deserves. ...

Great post Juan. To an extent that's a bit how I feel about Kenny. I know he's the best to have played for us because everyone older than me tells me so but I never got to witness it first time around. My Dad and older brother always used to talk about Kenny but by the time they took me to games it was Barnes who was running the show.

Agree on the point that even watching great goals back doesn't have the same effect as seeing it for the first time when you don't know what's going to happen.

Unbelievable player.  If Kaka is getting bids of £100m, then Digger would have been worth half a billion at his peak.  Even when he was fat and spent the entire game in the centre circle he was still better than any player we have now.  Messi is the only player in world football who is close to how good Barnes was in 87/88/89, and I'd happily argue that in terms of raw ability he's the best player we've had at the club.

I'm going to have to dig out my old 'The John Barnes Story' video and stick it on.

I was gonna say something similar, I saw him play most of his football in the middle and he was so intelligent. With better players around him I think would have been rated a much better central midfielder.

I remember when Ravanelli came to play for Middlesbrough and made his debut against us, he said John Barnes was the best player in the Premiership. He must have been 34 and a good few stone overweight at that point too. Can't remember him ever losing the ball.

Top post mate, well in. What a player digger was. When he was cruisin past defenders with such composure and skill will live with me forever, its what watchin footy is all about. Players like digger are few and far between, it was a priveliage to watch him.

My favourite goal of his has to be the one against QPR at Anfield. A block tackle on the halfway line and then sprinted foward weavin in and out of their defenders, in this mood he was simply unstoppable. My second favourite is the back heel at Crew, many yrs ago now.

If anyone has seen his video 'The john Barnes story'. Well on that vid is just about the best skill i've ever witnessed on a football field. My memory isnt what it once was but it was away from home and the other team wore blue, it might have been Brighton. Well Digger is in midfield surounded by at least 3 players, he does this crazy bit of skill to weave through them.

The camera angle from behind the goal is on the ground level and behind Digger in the background is our dugout, when Digger does his magic the reaction from our bench is fantastic, John Charles Barnes it was a priveliage watchin you , what memories.

My favourite bit on that video is when he's playing for Watford and he's stood with the ball, an oppo player comes flying in with a slide tackle that starts about 10 yards away from Digger...the player is literally flying across the ground and Barnes just puts his foot over the ball, rolls it back, the player goes sliding past and he rolls the ball back to where it was and then starts running forward.  The utter effortlessness of it blew my mind.

My favourite part of his QPR goal is when he does his slalom bit just before he puts it away....I swear he hangs in midair for a moment as he jinks from left to right.  Every single time I watch it I think that time itself has stopped at that moment.

Best Liverpool player ive seen live.

My most vivid memory of Digger was against Man Utd in 1988. We won 1-0 with a Molby penalty.

Barnes was tightly marked from the start by Englands right back at the time Viv Anderson. I swear to god i have never seen anybody rip apart a defender as much as Barnesy did to Anderson that day... at any level. Every time he got the ball he fucking skinned him. After about 30 minutes Fergie put Bryan Robson (England captain and magnificent player) man marking Barnesy as well as Viv Anderson...Didnt make any difference. Digger ripped them both apart.

Absolutely fucking brilliant player.

He would have excelled at most sports.  I remember hearing the story of how some of the golf-playing lads took Digger for a round after training one day.  Digger had never played golf in his life but when he was handed a driver on the first tee he stepped up and smacked a huge drive right down the middle. 

He also featured, I think on The Saint and Greavesie, when he was still at Watford and he went to Eton to play the Wall Game - the one where the ball is stuck in a ruck in the middle of a huge pitch and there is a goal once every hundred years.  Well Digger was lurking by the side of the scrum when the ball suddenly popped out, and he wellied it first time, left footed, at the "goal" - a tiny gate in a wall about 100 yards away.  It hit the post - bugger.

Couldn't agree more with what's been said in this excellent thread. Like Fowler you can divide his career into before and after serious injury. My first game in the Kop with my mates was QPR 4-1 in the 87/88 season and he was like a footballing God. His individual ability was something we had not really had in the 80's with the team functioning like a well drilled unit (Red Machine) and you could feel the buzz around the ground whenever he got the ball.

One goal which hasn't been mentioned was his header against Villa in the FA Cup in a 2-0 win (1988?) where it was slightly behind him but he managed to readjust his body to power in a diving header which I swear curled into the far corner.

My favourite player of all time.

A legend, genius, a joy to watch.
Heres a few other moments that are not as well remembered but worth a mention. Anyone recall:

-   Man City away in the cup 1988 in the mud? He ripped City apart on an appalling surface. The forty yard run for the 3rd goal.
-   His backward header against Villa in the Cup in 1988 as well – crossed from the right behind him and somehow he got his neck back and round it and knocked it back into the far corner.
-   His pass to Macmahon for the first goal in the Mersey derby in 1987 – took it on his  chest sideways in his own half facing the touchline and hit this awesome disguised pass at a right angle to his body with his left foot straight through the everton back four.
-   Spurs at home in the league 1990 – high ball in from deep to Barnes on the edge of the box – its going like a train at him but he just jumps in the air, takes it on his chest, and in one movement before it can drop he volleys it with his right foot – shame the keeper tipped it over really as we would be seeing it all the time as one of the best goals ever.
-   Brentford home in the cup 1989 – very similar to the goal against QPR from the half way line

See if you can find those on utube.

Remember that one well. Digger was receiving rave reviews from all quarters before that game (Rightly so) but Graham Taylor, who was his manager at Watford (but I think was then in charge of Villa?) said something along the lines of "Yeah, he's a great player, but he can't head the ball..."

Cue superb headed goal from Barnes!

That's the goal I always think of. I was there and there were only a couple of minutes left, with the score at 1-1.
It has the Martin Tyler commentary: "Oh my word! What can you do about that? Absolutely nothing!".

The most exhilarating player I've ever seen for poise and athleticism.
Great team player - nine times out of ten he would look for the easy ball - but when he set off.....
And as for free kicks, well, he hit these four in our last Championship season.

the goal against arsenal at home in 89  in the photo was my first game. i was right behind it hence my username.

One bit of skill that season that stuck in my mind is the following. I think its was live on itvs the match. we played spurs and we had a freekick. the ball came in just slightly outside the box. he soared into the air, chested the ball while in the air and on the turn still in the air he volleyed it right footed straight at the top corner. their keeper (the norwiegen) saved it brilliantly.

I just feel lucky to be the age I am and having supported Liverpool throughout those days and got to see the legendary teams we had.  Barnes was an unbelievable talent.  Forget comparing him to players of other positions.....at left wing...I cannot think of anyone better.

Ronaldo scored a shedload last season, but played a lot as a striker/ 2nd striker.  Not taking anything away from his achievement but Barnes put in his displays and goals as an out and out left winger.  Absolutely incredible.

hopefully my memory is not playing tricks on me but didn't he score an absolute pearler against us in 85 - just before heysel - we played Watford at Anfield on a Friday night for some strange reason? i remember Kenny also scored a beauty when he drifted in from the  right dribbling through a few then curling one in - almost a direct copy of that goal he scored for Scotland

That QPR goal - we all got locked out of the kop for the crime of getting into the queue about 1230 for the 3 o'clock kick off! - went back to the car and listened to the first 3/4 of the game on the radio before decided to head back to get in when they opened the exit gates 20 mins before the end - literally the moment they did that and we raced up the stairs at the side was the moment he picked up the ball and statred to run towards the goal - sweet timing...

*sigh*

Even though I'm just about old enough to have see John Barnes play I understand what you mean. It's the same for me looking at players from the 60's and 70's. Think everyone has said everything I was going to say about Digger. I think part of the reason people love John Barnes and look back at him so fondly was the excitement factor he brought. This was an excitement factor not to a team who was starved of success, but to a team who had ruled both domestically and in Europe during that decade. John stood head and shoulders above all others in a team who literally blew away the opposition with some of the best attacking football you are likely to see.

Since Barnes, as a signing, only Torres comes remotely close in terms of impact on the club. In my opinion only Gerrard in the last 20 years comes remotely close to Digger in comparison as a player. Maybe Torres can be compared to him in 4-5 years if he can prove himself to be continually one of the very best players in the league. Because make no mistake John Barnes wasn't just one of the best players in the league for 4 or 5 seasons, he was undoubtedly THE best player in the league for 4-5 seasons.

A lovely header and IT DID curl into the corner lol !!  - Remember the Saint and Greavsie Show on Saturdays . That goal was used in the intro to that show

Plus one blinding bit of skill vs MAN utd at Old trafford  lingers in my head  - deep near the corner flag  - I think David Speedie was in the team at the time - Can anyone else remember it ??
He'll win the league in the next 3 years. Quote me on that.

Plus one blinding bit of skill vs MAN utd at Old trafford  lingers in my head  - deep near the corner flag  - I think David Speedie was in the team at the time - Can anyone else remember it ??


Yeah, that one was described somewhere above. Can't remember the exact bit of skill but beat about 3 men I think before standing up a teasing cross that the keeper (Sealy?) could only flap into the path of Speedie to volley home on his debut. Follwed up by 2 on his home debut against Everton in the next game, complete with celebrting in front of the bitters "because he didn't know the layout of Anfield"!

yes thats it!! wonder if anyone has that on vid ?? We shouldve won that game although Mancs played alot better 2nd half.
I also remember going to highbury with my Arsenal loving cousin  for my first  evening game Barnes scored the equalizer after Merson put them in front i was sar in the corner adjacent to the Liverpool supporters !

Waht surprised me was Burrows pace down the flank ! :o

no end product tho :-\
He'll win the league in the next 3 years. Quote me on that.
Quote me on this, but come next season he'll be great for us. Just needs to remove the walking headless chicken next to him

Can't say more than anything that hasn't already been said... he is a absolute legend.

I grew up watching the team of the 80's and 90's and he was my favourite player.  Mostly because of that left peg of his... he could really hit them as sweetly as they come... and I for some obscure reason am naturally left-footed. ;)

I never had the chance to watch him play but what I saw on the telly was pure magic.  Really deserved to be playing in Europe with the best of them but alas...

I read these forums all the time and never post, but for John Barnes, I have to! Anybody remember a goal he scored at the kop end against Villa? He cut in from the left and put so much bend on it! Nigel Spink said it was the best goal he`d ever conceded. I also remember numerous players at the time all saying how amazing he was in training, how he literally never lost possession. I even sent him a letter as a kid begging him not to leave Liverpool (it had been in the Mirror that Monaco were gonna bid for him in the summer) I fuckin` love John Barnes

I loved that goal, remember the Kop going mad.

That's something I miss these days. Somebody who can do something fucking magical like that. It's a bit unfair on the players we have now, I just loved John Barnes.

Superb that was, Stretford end penalty area. He was running to the byline, kind of spun, ended up facing our goal and then doubled back, all with the ball seemingly attached to his foot, got to the touchline and the ball took the piss.

I'd love to see that again. May be totally wrong like, years of hard-living has wrecked my memory. And Digger has so many magic moments

My favourite has to be the free kick against Pompey, the moment of agony when it hit the woodwork, followed by the ecstasy when Ronnie scored.


The reaction to that goal was amazing, anyone got a link to it?

Just thought of another great memory of Barnes against United - burying a header in front of the Anny Road to put us 3-0 before half time. It was the game Beardsley scored a hat-trick, think it was September 91?He seemed to hang in the air like Pele's header in the World Cup final. I could be talking bollocks though! Not seen the goal since I saw it at the ground so probably improved over the numerous replays in my mind. Can just remember the guy sat next to me looking to the Heavens and shouting "Thank you God"! Made me realise how great it felt to beat the Mancs.

In the North bank for that (or whatever end it was).

I can honestly say, I've never seen a goal celebrated so much. Fucking brilliant. One of those where you end up on the other side of the terrace.

Easily the best around in his position during that period. In fact I think you would have to think long and hard to find players coming even close in the same era who were as consistenly good. The man was and and still is a legend. Some parlallels here with Gerrard about club and country form, but that just makes him even more of a legend.

Anyone remember his goal against Norwich City in the cup replay at Anfield.
I shit you not a diving header from almost 20 yards a foot off the ground.

There's not been a player on these shores since that would try it never mind execute it perfectly.
