 John Barnes - England International Footballer - Football-Heroes.net
John set off with the ball classically under control, cutting inside and looking for an outlet after beating a second player, but was forced to keep possession when Tony Woodcock inadvertently blocked his first opening to shoot.

Barnes then swung over a pinpoint cross for Hateley to head home and secure his move to AC Milan in the process, while England's newest superstar played in the remaining two games of the tour, landed back at Heathrow and stoutly ignored the vile racist chanting as he headed through arrivals and back to Watford.
