	John Barnes - Career history, profile, stats games & goals.
		John Barnes did not even arrive in England until he was fifteen when he moved with his family from Jamaica to Watford.

	John Barnes (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		John Charles Bryan Barnes (born November 7, 1963 in Kingston, Jamaica) was a hugely successful and well known Jamaican-born English football player of the 1980s and 1990s, and was once the manager of Celtic F.C.
		Barnes made his debut in 1981 and under manager Graham Taylor, Watford gained promotion to the top flight of English football and made the 1984 FA Cup final, where they were beaten 2-0 by Everton.
		Barnes was, in his early years at Liverpool, having to deal with racist abuse from opposing (especially Everton) supporters and far-right groups — a famous photograph was once taken of Barnes, in full Liverpool kit and mid-match, casually backheeling away a banana which had been hurled at him.

	LIVERWEB - John Barnes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		John Barnes was perhaps one of the most talented players to play for Liverpool.
		The only sad thing for Barnes is that after a number of great seasons his career was hit with a few injuries that prevented much of his greatest wing play and will often be remembered wrongly for his last seasons of team frustration in the nineties.
		Barnes was signed by Kenny Dalglish in the summer of 1987 for £900,000 from Watford and along with the signing of Peter Beardsley he slotted into the team that resulted in the book 'Better than the Brazilians'.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| John Rawling: Barnes isn't worried, why are we?
		John Barnes, then a young Watford winger, dribbled his way past Brazilian defender after defender as if the ball were tied to his toes before slotting home the most breathtaking of goals.
		Perhaps no English player has ever had to endure the level of vicious racist abuse that was directed at him by the people who claimed to be fans of the national football team, yet Barnes chose to blank the taunts.
		We should worry that players can clearly be seen on millions of TV screens every week abusing officials and opposition alike in language that should not be waved through as acceptable in any walk of life.

	Sports: XFL promises football, with no leaps from the top rope
		Whereas the United States Football League failed because of its gargantuan contracts and its challenge to compete with the NFL, the XFL, with its fixed salaries and spring schedule, seems to have learned a valuable lesson: There will be no competition to the league in February and March, unless you count figure skating.
		For example, players need only one foot inbounds on receptions, quarterbacks can't slide, there are no fair catches on punts and the ball is live after 25 yards, halftime is 10 minutes, and teams have 35 seconds to get off plays instead of the NFL's 45 seconds.
		No players currently under contract to other professional football teams or leagues are eligible for the draft, which will eliminate current CFL players until Dec. 1, when the league holds a supplemental draft.

		John Barnes (the name, apparently, honours a football player) is the primarily electronic solo project of ex-Mountain Men Anonymous guitarist Sam Arnold.
		The former, for example, begins promisingly with mournful string figures until drum noise nearly drowns the orchestral elements.
		If there's an upside to the misstep, it's that Arnold only has to strip away such excess in order for his John Barnes music to undergo marked improvement.

		Barnes said that while football can play it's part, he didn't think it could do any more.

		On reflection, his first season at the club was his finest but Barnes continued to perform at a consistently high level and remained a true Kop idol as the Reds added more silverware to their bulging trophy cabinet over the next two years.
		Critics of Barnes argued that he failed to replicate his outstanding club form for England but that was of little concern to Liverpudlians who continued to marvel at his magic.
		On the pitch, John Barnes helped take Liverpool's brand of football to previously unscaled heights of excitement, but in a wider social context the contribution he made to the club was even more enduring.

		But former international John Barnes believes it's time for the lanky striker to make way for a tried-and-tested partnership that offers England their best hope of going all the way in Germany.
		Barnes is worried neither by the threat of Sweden - a nation England have not beaten since 1968 - nor by the prospect of facing host nation Germany in the knock-out stages next weekend.
		For all the quibbles about England's performances so far, Barnes agrees there is a sense the squad could pick up momentum as their predecessors at Italia 90 did after a far less encouraging start.

		Over the next few years the team had huge success, largely thanks to the skill of Barnes and Luther Blissett, the management of Graham Taylor (himself the subject of a licensed Krisalis title) and money from one Elton John.
		In fact, when Blissett joined Italian giants AC Milan in 1983 and struggled, many people alleged they had intended to sign Barnes (both players were fl).
		Barnes scored a famously brilliant goal for England against Brazil in 1984 (although he often under-performed for England, perhaps he wasn't 100% committed).

		Each of these four contestants -- who represented a third of the grand total of 12 finalists -- had their own niche, but Stevens stood out because he specialized in the Great American Songbook, which is a roundabout way of saying that he was a Frank Sinatra wannabe.
		John did a wonderful job on this cd and the band sounds amazing.
