John Barnes is my hero from childhood and was the reason I started supporting Liverpool FC - especially due to him having to fight against racism from football fans across the country when he first signed for the club back in 1987.

However, his recent comments about race including his take on the Bernando Silva / Mendy situation just has me scratching my head. His interview on TalkSport was truly cringeworthy and misguided. This is why I'm so disappointed in Barnes right now. He really needs to take a look at what he saying and stop being an apologist for racist people or incidents of racist behaviour when it happens.
