Barnsey got that spot on , Maradona was and always will be the goat

[@elliotsmith9358]

Could listen to John Barnes all day. Insightful and one of Englands best technical talents ever. Get him on again and again 👍

Love Digger! Could listen to him all day. He’s the main reason I became a Liverpool fan 34 years ago while growing up in Malawi 🇲🇼! One of LFC’s all time greats

[@ClivesChronicles]

John's goal in the Maracana stadium against Brazil was also bloody amazing!

[@riccardobrogelli3550]

Such a breath of fresh air listening to John Barnes. Charming character, I wish we could have him on every week.

[@paulmclaughlin8038]

Barnes is such a great speaker and has excellent perspective. The fact that he rates Maradona as the greatest carries some weight vs many other non- players or players who've not reached the level that Barnes was. John was a world class player also.

[@waynemarshall8836]

People forget Barnes was on the same level as Gullit, Van Basten and Laudrup. Diego was in a league on his own.

[@GizziMoD]

Guy was unplayable in his day, incredible player

[@JTB-di8yj]

Love John Barnes ❤️ and his honesty

[@robbiethepict2783]

Maradona was marked by two England players, he left them for dead and beat another five England players to score, all on his left foot.

[@mattinterweb]

People forget how good Barnes was. Late 80's he was unplayable.

[@adamskistotty]

Changed the game in England favour against the Argentines. However, never really replicated afterwards for England.

[@dgnoel4180]

@@adamskistotty should have been played in a three with Lineker & Beardsley instead of pinned to the left, easy to double up on and had marauding Psycho killing his space. Like So many England players, never brought IT.Shame as he was as good as anyone in his time.

[@Craig.229]

He was absolutely brilliant yesterday, I listened to it all and it was brilliant, a funny, charming, great story teller, humble and honest. Was fantastic his story about how he got to be a professional footballer was just crazy. Please please get him on the show again with Goldstein and Cundy as it was absolutely gold.

The best part was when he said, probably what it felt like when England got that VAR decision against Netherlands lol, fair play JB.

[@dgnoel4180]

In 86 I remember us shouting bring on Barnes! Now it's bring on Palmer- In '89 Barnes & McMahon hi-5d in the centre circle and said 1 minute! Then...

Johnny b. What a legend. I have had the pleasure of his company at a dinner in Durban South Africa with some Liverpool old boys. It was absolutely brilliant. All to raise money for a charity. What a great bunch of lads and money well spent.

[@ojos_verdes76]

Never blame others for your mistakes that contributed to a goal. Terry Fenwick should have cleared it and not kicked it up in the air backwards towards his own goal. Shilton, who could use his hands, was then out jumped by Maradona who is much smaller. If you look at the stills, Shilton doesn't even jump off the ground.

[@taker201]

John barnes is chill men and thank you for remember olarticoechea , barnes was top level in all time england world cup squad he could be in the bench

[@realtalk8665]

Always painful hearing about 89 🤣 the fact that taking it into the corner didn't enter Barnes mind shows how attacking minded that brilliant Liverpool team was

[@josephtabone1985]

Another point that not so many people know that the field was so bumpy and unlevel for Maradona to keep the ball in his possession and under control needed extra ordinary skills. Watch how the ball be bouncing around when Diego was manoeuvering around between English players. Greatest World Cup goal ever

[@willie549]

You got to hold and give, but do it at the right time......

[@andyhello23]

I remember it will, john barnes ran into the flanks, gave the ball away to lukic, who threw it out to dixon, who kicked it to alan smith, whi passed it to michael thomas, and bang goal What john barnes is speaking about is his run cost liverpool, as they were losing 1-0, and if it stayed like that they would be champions, but arsenal got that goal as he gave ball away, and went 2-0 and arsenal were champions lol I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, but 16 years i watched arsenal we won 4 leagues First game i watched arsenal as a kid, was liverpool were playing arsenal in 1987 littlewoods cup final. For people that do not know liverpool just won everything back then There striker ian rush had a record, that if he scored liverpool did not lose Guess what my first game as kid watching arsenal that day, arsenal beat liverpool after ian rush scored, and it was first time liverpool lost a game where ian rush scored. It was some crazy record they had and i love that this was my first arsenal game as a kid. Liverpool had this mad record that ifd ian rush scored, liverpool back then did not lose. It was some crazy record lol, that it ended first time i watched arsenal in 1987, as we beat liverpool after ian rush scored a great goal for liverpool, and it was first time liverpool lost a game when ian rush scored In those years arsenal brought down liverpool, and liverpool went from winning all the time to not winning league for 3 decades Alex ferguson never beat liverpoolk with john barnes in those years It was arsenal in those years First time liverpool ever had dark clouds over it, was 1989 may, when we did that famous night, what john barnes speaks about here, and makes me laugh he did that. John barnes played football for sudbury, just down the road from where i grew up in london lol How things work out. John barnes was a bloody good player Shame his liverpool team never got to play acmilan, as liverpool were banned from europe back then.

Barnes goal vs Brazil in the maracana

[@NestorAlejandroEsteban]

Me pongo de pie y digo, Diego Armando Maradona fue el único hombre que hizo feliz a un país que aún hoy camina en pendiente en plena decadencia. Diego entregaba todo por la camiseta argentina. Los políticos se la robaban. Conocen a alguien capaz de ganar un mundial haciendo tan bellos goles? Messi cantidad, Maradona calidad artística.

[@Lee_yourboylee]

Looking back, Wimbledon beating Liverpool was similar in some ways to Coventry beating Tottenham which only happened the previous year. Okay, Wimbledon were bigger underdogs than Coventry, but as Barnesy says they did have decent players.

[@cppcpp1158]

Very true. I believe Wimbledon had also won at Anfield in a league game prior to that. That Liverpool 87/88 team were incredible though.

[@Lee_yourboylee]

@@cppcpp1158 They were amazing that season. Spurs were terrific, too, the previous year, though not quite as consistent in the league, sadly. Where Liverpool had Barnes & Beardsley Spurs had Hoddle & Waddle.

Go back and you'll find players did what Pele did before him. There are great players before then who don't get recognition because of the lack of any visual reference. Players like Andrade, Pedernera etc,etc.

The worst thing that gets overlooked about that obvious handball is the clueless linesman who was right across from it. He was from some football minnow country and shouldn’t have been anywhere near that match and he froze/choked in the moment.

@@TribalScan. No. John was bullied to agree with Jason Cundy. He had just finished saying they should be called "best in their eras".

So, pal, yeah, may be smooth but yours is full of hydrogen sulfide---component of a fart. Just in case you can't catch on.

[@tellall23]

"naturally"..."CR7 had to work harder"..what does that even mean in a GOAT debate? Tom Brady does not even have half of the talent of Aaron Rodgers, but he is the GOAT no debate. "Most Naturally gifted" is not the reason players like MJ23 are the GOAT. It is about the performance in the most pressurized situation and the ability to win everywhere they go with different teams. CR7 has dominated 3 leagues and Messi struggled as soon as he left Barca. Then you look at the UCL as the hardest competition, it is CR7 again. I never understood all the hype after WC like Argentina is not one of the greatest nation of football with or without Messi. Now had Messi been Australian and carried that team to victory then the discussion would have been different. Does that mean Haaland could never be considered the GOAT as he may never participate in the WC?

[@IZZZ-dm1hq]

Maradona was an all time great, but never a goat for me. Please, guys. How can we celebrate a man for scoring with his hand, tarnished the sport with cocaine, and abuse his status as a star. My goat are Pele, Zidane, Messi, CR7, Cruff, Weah, Maldini's of the world. They can't be a single goat in football, but there are Goats and all timers.Sorry Mr. BARNES😢
