John Barnes - England's Greatest Goal?

I was talking to Adrian the other day about John Barnes. So I decided to YouTube him. This goal is amazing. It was as though he was teaching the likes of Pele and Zico how to score.

"The 10th June 1984 will always be a day to remember for Barnes, he scored one of the most breathtaking individual goals ever seen, when he outpaced and out-thought several Brazilian defenders before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into an empty net during a friendly match at the famous Estádio do Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The goal brought him worldwide fame but also a sense of heavy expectation, with unreasonable observers and supporters expecting him to produce moments like that on a match-by-match basis."
