GETS ROUND THE BACK (AGAIN)

Christian O'Connell appears to have carted his "let's make a football song" forced jollity from Xfm to Virgin, but things are looking up: John Barnes is offering to rap on it:

"If you write a rap like Kanye West or Busta Rhymes, something which gives me a bit more street cred, a bit of a gangsta rap, then I will gladly do it. As long as it has a bit of soul and rhythm to it then I’ll do it."

He joked: "I’m not sure what the video will be like - I was a bit slimmer back in 1990."

Kanye West has responded by offering to turn out for Bradford Park Avenue next Saturday.
