20/09/97 v West Ham (a) 1-0 Premiership

John Barnes got the winner with a fabulous shot after Tino had shielded the ball.

"John Barnes was technically brilliant when he played for us but he'd obviously lost a lot of his pace. He was great to play with and his balance was fantastic. He's also a very deep thinker about the game and he's got some great ideas. I took a bit of stick for suggesting him as England manager [including from NUFC.com....] and I was purposely trying to avoid coming out with all the usual names. However, I think he'll do well in management, possibly on the Continent. To put some of his ideas into practice he'd need a whole team of technically able players."
