    Aside from that, where is Greaves, Moore, Dalglish, Law, Charlton, etc?

    Can't believe he picked himself either.

    5 current MU players says it all.

    It was probably a quick interview question anyways.

    How many of you that are saying "cant believe he picked himself" actually read the article?

    He seems to make it quite clear that he has to include himself..probably a rule. He even says "whether im good enough or not - who knows?".

    RIGHT MIDFIELD - JOHN BARNES
    One of my heroes as a kid, I know he was a left winger but he has to be in my team. Ryan Giggs is on the left, John Barnes is on the right cutting in and whipping the ball into the top corners.
    I was telling Anderson about John Barnes and he said 'who?' I almost had to slap him

    For a winger to be scoring 20-30 goals a season, which he was doing at Liverpool, says it all. Cristiano Ronaldo's doing it now, scoring 42 last season, but Barnes was doing it years ago and he was twisting people up left, right and centre. I used to love him, I had videos, the lot.

    When I see him I salute him every time. He even sent me his actual FA Cup final shirt, I begged him to sell it to me, the one with Crown Paints on the front.

    He was the most underrated player ever to play football in England. He wasn't appreciated, he was ahead of his time, he was doing things that Thierry Henry, Ronaldo, all these guys are doing now; whipping the ball in the top corner, going past players like they weren't even there.

    If he had played in the 1986 World Cup, England would have got further. He was brought on in the quarter-finals and he set up a goal against Argentina.

    You should have done that you mong Grr

    Nonsense - Barnes was light years ahead of those when it comes to skill.

    Stupid comparison.
