A LIVERPOOL legend left a small Yorkshire town in disbelief after he had a full English breakfast in the cafe and bought trousers from the menswear shop. 

Reportedly, John Barnes drove to the town to meet someone in the community. He still had time to visit the high street and enjoy what Bentham had to offer. John was described as 'lovely' by the people who got the chance to speak to him.

When John was in G and Mo's cafe, he ordered a full English and an orange juice. Despite Mo being a huge Liverpool fan, it was not until he paid at the till that his wife Gina recognised him.

Gina said: "Mo didn't recognise him at first, he came up to pay and I said 'I know you.' He said 'yeah, I'm Denzel Washington.' I said I knew that wasn't true, and then we got talking.

The cafe said that it was their 'first celebrity visitor.'

After visiting G and Mo's, John then walked down the high street. He went into the Black Bicycle, which is a boutique menswear shop. 

Owner Chris, also a Liverpool fan, said: "I didn't know what exactly he was doing he just walked up and down the high street. 

"He is a lovely man, just a nice bloke. He bought a nice picture and some trousers. I asked him if I could take a photo. I am a big Liverpool fan, he said he might be going out to the World Cup if we get to the semi-finals.

Chris admitted it was 'not at all' how he expected his day to go, having seen John Barnes play for Liverpool at Anfield back in the 90s: "He wound his window down - I said 'oh my god it's John Barnes!" 

John Barnes played as a left winger and then as a central midfielder for Liverpool from 1987 to 1997. He briefly played at Newcastle and Charlton until the end of his Premier League career in 1999. He scored 11 goals for England in his international career. 

Famously, he recorded a rap for New Order's World in Motion for the 1990 World Cup.
