'Got to the stage' - John Barnes issues honest response on chances of starring in next Liverpool Legends match

As much as he enjoyed watching Liverpool Legends earn a 2-0 victory versus Celtic on Saturday afternoon, John Barnes admitted his days of taking to the pitch are long gone.

Last in action during a fixture of this nature a decade ago, shaping up against Legends of South African side Kaizer Chiefs in 2013, Barnes has since formed part of the Reds’ management team for friendlies supporting charity work.

Enjoying his place on the sidelines as opposed to being in the thick of the action at Anfield, the 59-year-old admitted after the full-time whistle he has no intention of putting on the famous Red shirt for future Legends contests.
