Besides long walks in the Wirral countryside to while away the hours of lockdown, John Barnes has used this time to reflect on an amazing career. The most gifted player of his generation for Watford, Liverpool and England, his high profile made him an important figure in the fight against racism.
Post-retirement, he gained an even wider audience on TV shows Strictly Come Dancing and Who Do You Think You Are? and as a sports presenter.
For Barnes, who played 79 times for England, the day job reached its peak in 1990 when Liverpool were last champions of England.
