Barry proud so many Man City players part of England squad

Gareth Barry is proud so many Manchester City players are now part of England's squad.

Barry took immense pride from six City players being on the pitch at the end of England's impressive 3-1 win over Switzerland in a Euro 2012 qualifier. Joe Hart, Joleon Lescott, James Milner and Barry started the game before they were joined by Adam Johnson and Shaun Wright-Phillips as second-half substitutes.

"It was brilliant for the club to have so many players on the pitch - and shows the quality we have got at City," said Barry. "It is great to have a core of English players."

He added: "You have seen the top teams over the years, the Chelseas, the Manchester Uniteds, have had that spine of English players and been successful. We've got to work hard and hopefully we can achieve something like that."
