Lots of arguments to be had about who has been left out.

Does John Barnes really deserve to be in such company ??

I was just thinking the same. One great goal against Brazil and not much else.

I would guess he's included for being the first "high-profile" black player for England.

Surely Viv Anderson would've been a better selection, despite being an ex-Goon? Actually won more, too.

The Arsenal players are on the French stamps.

Personally can't believe our Azza missed the cut.

He did also do this...

Spot on.

 

[O.Spurcat]

John Barnes currently talking on Sky's Fantasy Football show about being chosen for a Royal mail stamp and there's been several showings of his goal against Brazil. No doubt about it, it was a great goal.

 

[Spurf]

Barnes is a tory and therefore 'acceptable' to the establishment.

He might be a one goal wonder but he's our one goal wonder!

So if 'winning more' was the criteria for being chosen there would have been a few changes to those that actually did get chosen.

So how will you now tell us that Barnes selection is justified?

I think it's justified. Barnes did a huge amount for black football in this country, his legacy is arguably greater than many of the others on the list. Footballing greatness shouldn't be based purely on individual success or ability, but what the contribution is for future generations to enjoy.
