I vote for John Barnes and Mars bars with the 'World in Motion' song.

Christ they had him in Tesco (I think) rapping "We're singing for England" into a mega-phone to a bunch of kids and mums who then all sung back "EN-GER-LAND" to complete the chorus.laugh

I felt bad for him.

I think it's Beckham tagging along with the England camp. Is he playing? Nope. Is he a good coach? Nope. Is he on the plane to South Africa to give England some much needed profile whilst shamelessly admitting we've got fk all else to give some glitz to our 2018 World Cup bid? Almost certainly.

Makes me cringe thinking we're so shallow.

Terrible aren't they. Maybe the celebrities are so expensive that they can't afford any creative types.
I'd prefer the creative and no celebrities myself.

Yeah it does seem a bit desperate. I mean he's just a spare part hanging around basically.

OTOH I suppose he's helping his country to win the right to host the 2018 WC and not just whoring himself to Walkers/Carling/Mars/whatever.

He is there for good reason and if you knew anything about team work you would know why he is there

John Barnes recently came out of bankruptcy, so he needs to cash in wherever he can, shameless or otherwise. Good on him!

bks. He's there for marketing reasons. He's the one who makes England seem glamerous to those outside of the UK. If it was Gerrard who got injured he'd be back in Southport assaulting DJs right about now.
