Gareth Barry has already etched his name into Premier League folklore after becoming only the third player in the history of the competition to clock up 600 league games. In part one of a two-part interview, the Everton midfielder talks about his ambitions for the future; the fierce competition for places in the Blues’ midfield; the emergence of exciting young players like Tom Davies; and his thoughts on breaking Ryan Giggs’ record for the most Premier League appearances.
Gareth, the competition for a starting spot has probably never been fiercer during your time at Everton than it is now.
