VIDEO: Thierry Henry can’t believe Gareth Barry was called “one of the best English players ever”

Priceless

There’s no doubting that Gareth Barry has had a decent career.

He’s won the Premier League with Manchester City and captained his country, while this season could see the Everton midfielder make his 600th English top flight appearance.

But when Roberto Martinez described the 34-year-old one of the best English players ever, more than a few people were left scratching their heads.

Thierry Henry was one such person, and when Sky Sports presenter Ed Chamberlain referenced Martinez’s comments prior to kick-off between Everton and Swansea on Sunday, the former Arsenal captain’s reaction was priceless.

We think it’s fair to assume he doesn’t agree.

Fortunately for Jamie Carragher, the Frenchman kept his hands to himself this time.
