Liverpool great John Barnes on the Grand National race that left him injured and sidelined for three games
Liverpool legend John Barnes has explained how he injured himself in bizarre and hilarious circumstances on a team trip to the Grand National at Aintree and how he escaped the wrath of Kenny Dalglish.The 2019 Grand National weekend is upon us, and it appears Barnes has some fond memories of the legendary Merseyside race.But it wasnt horses he can remember galloping down the final furlong it was him and fellow Anfield great Alan ‘Jockey’ Hansen!Barnes feared he would incur the wrath of Dalglish, but King Kenny wasn’t bothered – ‘He had money on Jockey!’1
Barnes feared he would incur the wrath of Dalglish, but King Kenny wasn’t bothered – ‘He had money on Jockey!’
Some footballers just cant turn off their competitive edge, which is clear from this story.It all started when long-legged Hansen insisted he could beat winger Barnes in a foot race and after enjoying some hospitality where else to prove it than on the final furlong of the Grand National course?It didnt all go to plan for Barnes, though, as he explained on Fridays Sports BreakfastI gave Alan Hansen five yards and he beat me by ten, because unfortunately I pulled my hamstring.I missed three games after that! Of course I expected a rollicking from Kenny Dalglish, but Kenny actually showed me a lot of sympathy.Kenny had a bet on Jockey winning anyway, so I dont think he was too bothered about me missing those three games.I didnt know money was on it until Kenny was quite pleased. Having lost me for three games I thought hed be disappointed, but he wasnt disappointed at all!Thats in the old days, Ally!Listen to John Barnes on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
