Villa winger Young idolised Liverpool legend Barnes

Aston Villa winger Ashley Young admits he's a big fan of John Barnes.

Young is full of admiration for Barnes, who left Vicarage Road in 1987 to find fame with Liverpool.

He said: "To follow in the footsteps of someone who had played at the same club as yourself is always nice. It is something to look up and to try to pursue and emulate if possible."
