Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.

Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright are joined by John Barnes to reflect on a remarkable career and life in the game.

Barnes looks back on his early years and pathway into football, from his breakthrough at Watford to earning a move to Liverpool. He revisits some of his most iconic moments, including that unforgettable goal against Brazil, and speaks openly about dealing with racism during his playing days.

The conversation also turns to the famous Liverpool vs Manchester United rivalry, with Barnes sharing why he feels United often had the edge during that era.

We finish with a look back at his iconic England rap, as John reveals how it came together and shares unseen footage from the recording.
