What they Said
"Mark [Walters] has a lot of skill and he showed It again tonight.
"I can see many similarities between him and John Barnes.
โI believe that Mark could perform the same job for us that Barnes is doing for Liverpool.
"I taught John from an early age at Watford and I would be glad to help Mark.
โMark Is already responding to teaching.
"Like Barnes, he can become a really outstanding player."
Graham Taylor.
