Both scouted by Graham Taylor,when Barnes started is carrer at Watford,and yorke at villa.Probably the best two ballers to make an impact from the caribbean,to date.My arguement is all though Barnes has retired who do you think is/was, the more complete player.Feel free to give opinions.
what rubbish barnes was just born in jamaica thats all. he never represented any caribbean country .he started playing football in england so how can u all rate him as the best player from the caribbean.
give a different comparison like latapy vs tappa or stern john vs lowe
Trini,come betta dan dat.Barnes used to scimmage all hours anight up park camp.attend Georges high scool played colts football.all the same you na understan.man aborn yard man.Learned is craft in england,at fifteen yorke was sixteen.unna want comparison.Latapy vs TAPPA=TAPPA.....Stern John vs Lowe=LOWE WE IS ONE NATION TO BE RECOND WID.....TO RACE COURSE OLE ON PON DAT.
I have to come in on this one; we must understand that John Barnes was basically the midfield general for england. They did not want to recognise him as such and it cost England in the last W/C with Barnes.
I mean, the last world cup John played, when you look at how the side was, it was suppose to be John Barnes side. The offensive thrust was suppose to go through him, but England's coaches resisted it and it cost them. Man I was hurt. I remembered it vividly of how John's midfield prowess and command just left a stamp on the English side as if to say them, "you would do better going through me."
Even John himself realized he was the midfield general, and everytime he attempt to take up this role they shun him and it cost them. He could not be as effective as he could without this role.
There wasn't a sweeter left footer and a greater passer of the ball. He was trickiy and smart with the ball above many, and he made it look effortless. John was sweet to watch,and not because him born a yard.
Yorke was/is a great player also; Yorke a forward/midfield, John a midfielder. Obviously the man that handles the ball more often -a midfielder, will be seen the most. Nevertheless, they both were complete players. John was the greater passer.
him lef jamaica at 13 that mean he was completely developed as a footballer.he was never discovered or scouted in the caribbean
yorke on the other hand left trinidad at 17 18 he was a member of our national team an was discoverd whe aston villa was touring the west indies
how could john barnes be the best player from the caribbean when was not discovered playing jamaica or recruited by some scout or sumthing while in jamaica .he joinred sum club when he went to england
triniman...that's pretty petty. What is the real significance of the difference between their origins.
Didn't YOU say he was already "completely developed" as a baller by the time he left JA at 13. So you are contradicting your prior statement that he was "just born in JA, that's all"
I still don't see the significance...the post is about who is better player, not who was discovered first.
TT, why you don't come pick up this bwoy, you don't see him making the whole of Trinidad look like idiot.
