LIVERPOOL legend John Barnes is in Sydney this week — and will sit down for an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph that will be broadcast on Facebook Live at www.facebook.com/SportTelegraph/.

Barnes was one of the most gifted wingers of his generation and a two-time top flight title and FA Cup winner with the Anfield club between 1987 and 1992, as well as earning 79 international caps for England.

After starting his career at Watford, Barnes moved to Liverpool in 1987, scoring 106 goals in 403 matches in a decade of success at the club.

In an era of English football that owed more to direct, physical play than is seen in the current Premier League, Barnes was a player of rare touch and vision, bamboozling opposition defenders on the domestic and international stage, famously scoring a goal against Brazil in the Maraccana Stadium that some of the best players from that storied country would have been jealous of.

Barnes was named PFA Players’ Player of the Year Twice (1988 and 1990) and the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year in 1988 and was inducted in to the English Football hall of Fame in 2005.

Since retirement he has become a respected pundit and speaker on the game.

And you can catch his thoughts on the state of the sport and the progress Liverpool are making under Jurgen Klopp, as well as a few memeories from his glory days, live on the Daily Telegraph Facebook page from 9am this Friday morning.

Don’t miss it.
