All I remember of John Barnes is knowing him from over 50 years ago. He was the same height as me (6’3 1/2″) and very well built. Maybe this photo is deceiving me because I would not recognise from this picture.
John Barnes is one of the blokes on the back row with a bow tie on (the one on the left as you look)
I can pick out Arthur Dutton and Ivor Davies but not John Barnes. I should know him because we all played darts for Sparks Social Club in the Middlesbrough District League. Which is John Barnes?
The picture shows my parents (Anne & Doug English), as well as Ivor & Doreen Davies, Edna & Dennis Johnson, John Barnes, Tommy Beadle & Arthur Dutton (several of whom have been mentioned previously on this website).
