And I remember David Ginola.

No, I don't chase back.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

Wow.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

I don't chase back.

Stick to Football

I mean, Mo did when Jurgen was here, but now you don't see... So, as I said, my hardest full-back was really because Vivo's always attacking.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

I don't remember anyone who wanted Firmino from Hoffenheim.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112

I don't remember anyone who wanted Salah when he was coming, or Mane.

Stick to Football
John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
