Roy Keane has allegedly got him to scout for the Mackems ... in the CARIBBEAN!

Barnes, who was born in Jamaica, will be running coaching clinics in several countries in the Caribbean.

1997/98 J.Barnes 33/7 7

Some say he scored a wonder goal against Brazil then made a career on the strength of it. But that was far from the truth. A class player, but far past his best when he joined Newcastle. Finished the 1997/8 season as Newcastle's top goalscorer in the Premiership ... just 7. Had very little pace when he arrived from Liverpool and some said it was an "old pal's act" by Kenny Dalglish. Joined Charlton Athletic after Newcastle.
