It's not good for the club.
So when Liverpool came in for me in January, Graham Taylor said to them, he's coming, but he's going to come at the end of the season.
Liverpool knew I was coming.
I knew I was going.
Not a word in the press.
So we knew it was happening.
But because you hadn't said it in the press, all the fans knew was that
Liverpool have come in and he's not come.
So he snubbed us.
So from the January till I signed, there was a little bit of a bad attitude towards me because they felt that he snubbed Liverpool.
Who does he think he is?
Now, my mate used to go to the games all the way from January till the end of the season.
And with these two old boys, these two old white guys sat in front of him.
And from, say, the March, when I didn't come, they were like, oh, we didn't want John Barnes to come anyway because, you know, he wears tights.
He's from Jamaica.
He doesn't like the cold.
You know all that, right?
He was slaughtering me.
Slaughtering me.
Which is fine, every week.
