Top Speed: 29.4 km/h

Age: 35

Club: Everton

Gareth Barry Made his debut in May 1998 and will probably go down as one of the greats, having played in over 20 of the Premier League seasons. He has won numerous accolades in his long career including two Premier League titles. The former Aston Villa and Manchester City man now plies his trade in the blue half of Merseyside at Everton.

The Englishman has made over 600 Premier League appearances, and is third on the all-time appearances list, behind only Frank Lampard and Ryan Giggs and the highest among the current crop of players. Given his age and the physical demands of being a midfielder in the league, it can be understood why he doesn’t always clock the highest speeds.
