Racism alert: Michael Barrymore impersonates John Barnes on live TV
Owner of ill-fated swimming pool in thoroughly un-PC sketch
These days, there simply aren’t enough light entertainment personalities who are willing to ‘black up’ and feign Jamaican accents in the name of family fun. Because that’s acceptable, right?
Here’s Michael Barrymore ‘playing’ John Barnes on the BBC’s coverage of the 1984 FA Cup Final. Oh boy.

Not really sure what those other comments are about… bit like that video really! I’d be interested in John’s mumbled reaction to this saga!!
