Titanbet signs John Barnes as brand ambassador
8 Sep 2015
A mercurial and mesmerising talent during his playing days, Barnes will bring flair to this season with his engaging and authoritative views on a range of football’s hot topics.
Barnes will offer his thoughts on the Premier League on a weekly basis, along with weekly tweets from his official Twitter account, during what is certain to be an enthralling season at the top and bottom of the table.
He will also deliver a weekly blog and audio where he will provide his predictions on the upcoming matches, as well as his thoughts on his old club, Liverpool, where he enjoyed 10 years as a player.
In addition to commenting on events on a wide range of games, Barnes will also be speaking about the international scene with England ahead of Euro 2016 at the end of the season, and there will be public appearances by him on behalf of Titanbet.
John Barnes said, "I'm delighted to be working with Titanbet for a second year. I'm looking forward to seeing what unfolds in what is sure to be an exciting Premier League season and hope I can help punters win some money in the process!"
Russell Yershon, U.K. sports manager for Titanbet.co.uk, said: "We are delighted to be working with John Barnes again during this season as our association fits with our U.K. strategy perfectly. His views are well respected by fans and this helps us to further enhance our reputation as a competitive U.K. operator."
Barnes is one of the most talented footballers to have played for England, winning 79 caps during his career and playing at two World Cups, as well as a European Championship. He also scored one of football’s most memorable goals when he dazzled the Maracana Stadium in Brazil with a stunning solo goal in 1984.
At club level, Barnes started his career at Watford before his decade at Liverpool, where he won the league title twice, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup. He was also named the FWA Footballer of the Year on two occasions and was voted PFA Player of the Year in 1988.
