Barry John has often been referred to as the George Best of rugby. Considered by many to be the greatest rugby player of his generation, he possessed the pop-star image: tall, dark and handsome. An idol to millions of sports lovers throughout the world, Barry John was mobbed wherever he went. He also had the world at his feet, just like Best.
