If you're like that, you're like that.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
But for me, that didn't influence me or...

What they bought players at 23, 24, having had six, seven years somewhere and you look really good, bring one or two youngsters in.

Now, all of a sudden, when you just get a whole group of youngsters in, and we had that conversation, you had a whole group of youngsters but you had Fergie.

When you have a whole group of youngsters coming into a Liverpool way where youngsters are going to be left to their own devices, that's a wrestle.

Yeah, but Gary was there for like five, six years before he... How old was Jamie?

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
Jamie was young, but Jamie never got on the team for like two, three years.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
He came in later because... Jamie joined in 91, Jamie?

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
Yeah, he came in 91, but he wasn't a regular fixture, so he came in just to be part of it.

Rushie didn't get in the team straight away and he cost 300 grand from Chester, which is a lot of money.

John Barnes: Liverpool Legend, Battles with United & Tackling Racism | Stick to Football EP 112
But he had to sit and learn and watch and learn the Liverpool way and, you know, work hard and run.

I remember Rushie said to me, you know, he came in and he played really well.
