It was because Dwight was a superstar that Man United won the treble. Yes Barnes was good, but no one (except you) will put Barnes in the same category as Dwight. By the way, has Barnes ever played for Jamaica? Was Barnes recruited to play from Jamaica? No, because all of his football skills were acquired in England.
shut you rass
. Barns was already playing football in Jamaica from primary to high school. Barns left Jamaica at 13, not that far off from some Jamaicans today that going to U.S colleges at 16 or 17. yes he develop more because England had the infrastructure to further his development not to create it. Not playing for Jamaica doesn't make him any less of a Jamaican. a lot of athlete did it, cause Jamaica did not have a program strong enough at that time to persuade most athlete to return home, like what we have now. by the time Jamaica should start taking football really seriously at 1994 barns already drafted in the England squad from 1983.
Jamaica did not have a strong national basket ball team for Ewing to even play for:

other than club what have Dwight don internationally? score on Jamaica?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zlF4KWtetE&feature=relatedBarns was also good international, even taking apart Brazil defense.
http://www.blackpresence.co.uk/2010/05/fohn-barnes-footballer/anyway don't worry about playing for Jamaica, cause we have a lot of young talent coming up that will be playing for Jamaica. it will not stop at Delapena, Barns, Gardner, Fuller, etc...
you guys keep talking about treble treble. i hope you guys knew that during Barns time at Liverpool, English clubs were band from playing in Europa championships because of hooligans and also pure racism in English football. Liverpool team was so great in the 80s, if they had played in Europe championship i sure they would have won it.
