Craig 6702 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thought so..... Stats The Barnett in our side was former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Barnett, who has been released by the Reds. 18 year-old Barnett was part of the successful FA Youth Cup side last season and scored a 30 yarder for Liverpool in the semi-final at SJP. He'd been seen earlier in the week playing for our reserves in a friendly at Newcastle Benfield.
