Barnes’s rap is still a huge YouTube hit today, particularly in the weeks leading up to yet more English disappointment at major tournaments.
Fatman Scoop, the American hip-hop producer who hit No.1 in the UK charts with his 2003 track Be Faithful, and No.9 with the less-memorable It Takes Scoop a year later, decided to give his own rendition of Barnes’s track in the talkSPORT studios.
(We prefer Barnsey. Sorry.)
This you just have to see... @fatmanscoop gives us his unique rendition of the iconic John Barnes rap!
