The news of Gareth Barry's retirement from football got us trawling through the CityTV archives for some memorable footage.

And we discovered this rare classic from back in the Carrington days. 

Les Chapman sat Gareth down and tested his football knowledge with a range of questions, and it’s fair to say the midfielder did pretty well!

Watch the video above to see the full quiz. 

Barry joined City from Aston Villa in the summer of 2009 and is widely considered a key architect of the Club’s initial post-takeover success.

He played 175 times for City, scoring eight goals, and helping us win the 2011 FA Cup and 2012 Premier League.

Loved by fans, teammates and staff alike, Barry, a true professional, left an indelible mark at City during his four-year stay.

Everyone at City would like to congratulate him on a fine career and wish him well in retirement.
