This is one of the 10p books I picked up the other week for a TTM request.
I sent the book ,Hardbacked first edition from 1999,out to John Barnes on the 14th of November. The book was returned signed while I was away last week. John has also signed one of the photo's in the book and given me the OK to send a couple of shirts for him to sign also. I'll find time to get those out at the week end.
John Charles Bryan Barnes MBE (born 7 November 1963) is a Jamaican-born English former footballer and manager, who currently works as a commentator and pundit for ESPN[2] and SuperSport.
During his playing career, Barnes had successful periods at Watford and Liverpool in the 1980s and 1990s, winning the First Division twice, the FA Cup twice, and playing for England 79 times (at the time, a record for a black player). After a period at Newcastle United, he ended his playing career at Charlton Athletic in 1999.
After retiring as a player, Barnes had a brief stint as head coach of Celtic in 1999–2000, working alongside Kenny Dalglish. He took over as manager of the Jamaica national team in 2008, but resigned six months later to become manager at Tranmere Rovers. He was sacked by Tranmere in 2009, after a series of poor results.
An Anfield legend, Barnes was voted by Liverpool fans at number five in their 2006 poll of 100 Players who shook the Kop. A year later in 2007, FourFourTwo magazine acclaimed Barnes as the best Liverpool player of all time.
Thank you so much John Barnes MBE.
