This is what Kelvin MacKenzie wrote:
"Perhaps unfairly, I have always judged Ross Barkley as one of our dimmest footballers".
"There is something about the lack of reflection in his eyes which makes me certain not only are the lights not on, there is definitely nobody at home".
"I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo. The physique is magnificent but it's the eyes that tell the story".
"So it came as no surprise to me that the Everton star copped a nasty right-hander in a nightclub for allegedly eyeing up an attractive young lady who, as they say, was 'spoken for".
"The reality is that at £60,000 a week and being both thick and single, he is an attractive catch in the Liverpool area, where the only men with similar pay packets are drug dealers and therefore not at nightclubs, as they are often guests of Her Majesty"
Maybe a little insulting not only to the footballer, but also towards the folk of Liverpool but racist???? No way.

Absolutely spot on.
"I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo. The physique is magnificent but it's the eyes that tell the story".
Quite correct.
I suppose one shouldn't be surprised on investigation to find mixed parentage. Certainly not a racist piece of journalism.

Infamous headline?????
I wonder what some would have thought about some of the headlines during WW2?
/// A news agency reported that the General Belgrano had been hit. Wendy Henry shouted "Gotcha!", not as a suggested headline but as a spontaneous reaction, the kind of black joke common to every newspaper office. MacKenzie seized on it and designed a front page which said: "GOTCHA. Our lads sink gunboat and hole cruiser." The first edition was off stone before more detailed news of the Belgrano's sinking arrived. ///

The Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, made the complaint.
KM is reviled in Liverpool after the Sun's treatment of the city and its inhabitants after the Hillsborough during his stewardship of the paper. It seems that, even sidelining his comments about Ross Barkley, he still likes to give the city a good kicking.
