Special Gareth Barry Figure

I had been waiting to post this one, because of the possibility of getting a photo of the actual player holding up the figure... but being as it hasn't arrived, I thought I'd just get on and post the pic!

A special figure to commemorate Gareth Barry breaking the Premier League appearance record for the man himself:


As I'm sure you'll have worked out, each quarter of the shirt is one of the teams he played for in breaking the record (Villa, City, Everton and West Brom)

Some other details of note:

1. The hooped socks, made up of the colours of all 4 teams.
2. The sleeve patches: One from his debut season at Villa, one the Champions patch from his time at City.
3. All 4 shirt sponsor (well, a quarter of each, anyway!)
4. The 3 different numbering styles worn across his years in the Premier League
5. Adidas boots.

Oh, and in case you were unsure, 633 was the number of games he had played when he broke the record... though by the end of the season he was at 653...

Pleased with this one! And, in the words of the guy who bought it as a present for Barry: "He loved it!"
