Gareth Barry (born February 23, 1981 in Hastings) is an English football player who currently is the captain of English Premier League side Aston Villa.
Along with former team-mate Gareth Southgate, the pair were the only players to play in both the final club match (excepting 2000 Charity Shield match) and the final international match at the old Wembley Stadium. Both matches resulted in 1–0 losses: for Aston Villa against Chelsea in the 2000 FA Cup Final and for England against Germany in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

International career
Barry made his England under-21 début against the Czech Republic in 1998. He made 27 starts for the Under-21 side, a record since surpassed by fellow Aston Villa players, on-loan Scott Carson and former colleague James Milner.
First picked for the senior England side by Kevin Keegan, along with David Beckham he is the only other England international to date to have played under every England manager since first selected by Keegan. After an injury to Jason Wilcox, he was able to travel to Euro 2000, but did not feature in any of the side's games. Barry made his England début as a substitute in a pre-Euro 2000 friendly against Ukraine on May 31, 2000. His full international début was in the 1-1 draw against France on September 2, 2000.
He made further England appearances in matches against South Africa, Serbia and Montenegro and Slovakia in 2003.
Barry was recalled to the England squad following a four-year international exile on 2 February 2007. Barry was resigned to never winning another cap under previous boss Sven-Göran Eriksson but Steve McClaren brought him back for the first time since March 2003. Barry was brought on at the beginning of the second half of the friendly match against Spain on 7 February2007 as replacement for Steven Gerrard and played left midfield for the majority of the game, moving to left-back when Stewart Downing was brought on. England lost 1-0 thanks to a second half Andres Iniesta goal. On May 252007 Barry played for England B in a 3-1 victory over Albania, getting an assist for England B's first goal scored by Alan Smith. Barry renewed his England international career by coming on as a substitute, replacing Michael Carrick in a friendly against Germany, at Wembley. As confirmed by John Motson during the BBC Commentary for this game, Gareth Barry has now played under 5 different England Managers (including England U21 & England B-Team)
As a replacement for the injured Owen Hargreaves, Barry started in central midfield for England against Israel on 8 September 2007; with two assists and impressive overall play. He kept his place with Owen Hargreaves declared unfit for the match against Russia on 12 September 2007, and produced another stunning display, proving to be more than competent at international level. BBC Presenters Ian Wright and Alan Shearer commented that Gareth Barry was immense in the centre of midfield alongside Gerrard, forming a wonderful partnership together, and further commented that he should have been given man of the match overall for the two performances against Israel and Russia.
He was also given the official man of the match for England's Euro 2008 home qualifier against Estonia. He was selected to start against Switzerland on 6 February 2008, the first game of the Capello era. He was again selected to start in England's friendly away to France on 26 March 2008. Barry scored his first international goal against Trinidad and Tobago on June 1 2008, this completed a personal treble for Gareth as he also captained England in the second half of his 20th cap.
