S1 Ep2: John Barnes

Liverpool FC
About this episode
A club icon and in his prime one of the finest players in the country.

John Barnes is our guest for episode two of the We Are Liverpool podcast, explaining how early life lessons helped him meet the demands of playing at the top level and coping with the changes he needed to make after suffering a career-threatening injury.

Barnes also delves into the influences and philosophies of the famous Liverpool Boot Room; from encouraging free-thinking footballers to ensuring post match food orders were set in stone, all under Ronnie Moran's careful eye.

Alongside his former teammate Robbie Fowler, the two also compare their own thoughts on why the Liverpool team during the era they shared the dressing room didn't live up to its expectations.
