Description
John Barnes suffered racist abuse as a player – now he’s battling bigotry as a manager, writes Ian Herbert. John Barnes settles back to talk having just finished judging a football chant competition, an undertaking which is loaded with historical resonance given the anthems which greeted his arrival at Liverpool in the summer of 1987. “Everton are white” was one that Merseyside least wants to remember from those days. Others just don’t bear repeating.
