IT was a great night for Liverpool fans in when Anfield icon John Barnes appeared in The Brandon Conference Centre on Friday.
The local Liverpool Supporters Club brought the former Kop legend over to meet local fans and to answer questions about his career.
Between 180 to 200 people came and paid the €20 entrance fee and, after costs, it is thought nearly €1,000 was raised for the Kerry Branch of the Irish Kidney Foundation.

Barnes certainly was accommodating to the fans present, posing for photos and giving of his time.
“We had to stop it at midnight last night and he would have stayed on for another hour I’d say,” said Leo Byrne of the Liverpool Supporters Club. “He’s a really easy-going, very knowledgable guy and honest with his answers. Everyone there had a great time and there was some great raffle prizes won as well,” he said.
John was up early the next morning and off to Cork airport to catch the Liverpool game at Stoke today.
