5 times footballers attempted to make it as rapstars

#5 John Barnes

There is no denying John Barnes is one of the most beloved English football players of all time. Even though he was born in Jamaica, Barnes opted to play for England and was one of the best players in his position in the world during the 90’s. For England’s 1990 World Cup campaign, Barnes competed and won in a rap contest with players like Paul Gascoigne and Chris Waddle to perform in the music video, "World In Motion" by New Order.

The song became quite popular with the crowd and is among the best football songs to have ever been made and also made to Uk’s number one charts. Barnes was pretty darn good with his rap in the video, but the only nullifying part of it was Keith Allen dancing around like a moron in the background.
