Gambling Zone is proud to bring you In The Zone, a video podcast series hosted by leading broadcast journalist and presenter Manish Bhasin and featuring some of the world’s greatest sporting stars.
The latest episode features one of England and Liverpool’s greatest-ever footballers, John Barnes. Barnes was part of a famous Liverpool team under Kenny Dalglish that twice won the League and FA Cup and is regarded as one of the club’s top sides.
Barnes also enjoyed a glittering England career, the highlight of which being a goal against Brazil at the Maracanā, a dribbling effort that Pele would have been proud of.
During the in-depth conversation, Barnes recalls the highlights of his career, including how he was scouted by an unknown taxi driver on his way to becoming one of the best players in the country. He also reflects on some of the challenges he faced during his career, including how he dealt with the challenges of racism and his memories of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
Barnes makes watching Liverpool his top priority each week and has glowing things to say about the team’s star player, Mohamed Salah and manager Jurgen Klopp. He also shared his views on the influence of Saudi Arabia in the Premier League and the impact it will have on the future of English football.
