Why didn't Barnes get a testimonial?

Been watching the 100 players that shook the kop videos and Barnes really stands out.

He's still black, and still not the best player we have ever had (by some way), but that's another old chestnut.
He left near enough bang on ten years before a testimonial could be arranged, assuming he had wanted one.

Yeah, there's an underground movement perpetrated by The Lying Rag to deny John Barnes a testimonial.

Boris Johnson has signed the e-petition too.

Why?
10 years in red more than 100 goals.
Best player we've ever had.

Bets player we ever had? Pffft.

Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish.

he's the most skillful player we've ever had but not the best and not the most influential.
 
to open up a massive can of worms, I'd rather have barnes in his prime than kenny in his prime if given the choice of the two to play in the current team.

You're thinking cos he fills the gap where we need it, whereas we have stevie in the centre.

I'm thinking you're a bit mad, stevie would play on the wing, Kenny in the centre & we'd win the league.

There's no excuse too slight to prevent a replay of this glorious comic moment by the maestro:

hmm, good shout that but still perfer barnes on the left wing in his prime look was ronaldo gave manu we'd have that AND gerrard. we'd also have a brilliant set peice taker as well.
 
I see no reason why Barnes should not be given a testimonial even if it is nearly fifteen years too late.... Sami either for that matter.
 
Is playing at Anfield hundreds of times not enough?

I'd doubt any footballers would be bitter about not receiving a testimonial. It's a good means for raising money for charity but that's all I see it as.
 
[quote author=Buddha link=topic=35757.msg941610#msg941610 date=1252664111]
How about Digger and Kenny in todays side?

We'd be unplayable.
