PROFILE
 Three years after his spectacular solo goal for
England against Brazil at Rio's Maracana Stadium the exciting Jamaican-born winger was
signed from Watford for 900,000 pounds by Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish in 1987 as part of
his team re-shaping following the departure of Ian Rush to Juventus.
Barnes linked up with other new recruits Peter Beardsley, Ray Houghton and John
Aldridge in a swashbuckling line-up that swept to the Championship in style, with Barnes
scoring 15 times in 38 outings. Liverpool also equalled the record of 29 League games
unbeaten from the start of the season and reached the FA Cup Final, losing to Wimbledon.
The impact of Barnes earned him the votes of both the football writers and his
fellow professionals of the PFA as the 1988 double Footballer of the year. The following
season he won a FA Cup medal and in 1989-90 his 22 goals earned him a second title medal.
During Graeme Souness's period as manager Barnes was appointed club captain and
switched from the wing to a central midfield role. After Roy Evans had taken over as
manager, Barnes won a Coca-Cola Cup medal in 1995. He joined Newcastle in 1997, received
an MBE a year later and after a loan spell with Charlton became Celtic coach in 1999,
though he was to part company with them early in 2000.
Stats Note for John Barnes
2 League cup games <-> 3 League cup games
Liverpool Season review’s Facts and Figures claims he played 3 league cup games
in the 1989/90 season. It claims he played in the League cup game versus Wigan on
04.10.1989.
This contradicts several sources which claim he played only two. In fact Houghton
started that game in Barnes’ number 10 shirt, according to Rothmans. Total LFC
