John Barnes: Poetry in Motion

'Barnes: Poetry in Motion' tells the story of one of football's most iconic figures, John Barnes, starting from his arrival in England from Jamaica and then being recommended to Elton John's Watford by a cab driver who had seen him play for non-league Sudbury Court. It was while at Watford that Barnes launched his international career and would go on to be capped 79 times for a country that he was not initially eligible to represent. At Liverpool, John would establish himself as one the greatest player in the club's history, winning the league championship and the Football Writers' Player of Year award in two of his first three seasons at the club. Off the field John found a home in Liverpool, forming an ever-stronger bond with the city in the aftermath of the Hillsborough.

The John Barnes Story

John Barnes is the most valuable and most feared forward in the British game today. In the red of all conquering Liverpool, or the white of England, he can turn a game with a single flash of inspiration, while his cultured left foot and grace of a natural athlete make him a joy to watch. Just two years after becoming a professional footballer, he pulled on an England shirt - and soon made the world take notice, his electrifying pace and close control producing an individual goal against Brazil in the Maracanã Stadium that the watching Pele (Barnes’ youthful inspiration) would have been proud to score. The first black footballer of the year, Jamaican born Barnes is a role model for youngsters of every race. Yet few know the private man, a complex character who, championed by some, criticise by others, answers words with deeds the way he knows best - on the pitch.
