Barry made his Premiership debut for Aston Villa during the 1997/98 season – after being somewhat controversially plucked from the clutches of Brighton & Hove Albion.

He has spent the majority of his time in Villa’s defence but he is earmarked by many for a glorious career in midfield – something which has come to pass in recent seasons. Barry is a player with great composure on the ball who is a Villa skipper in the making.

A former England Under-18 captain, Barry made his England Under-21 debut in 1998 against the Czech Republic and then broke into the full team.
