GARETH BARRY

 The outdoor multipurpose tennis court and football pitch right next to Barry's house

Gareth Barry retires to his palatial pile in Cheshire. Have a look below, don't be jealous!! The house has 30 acres, 13 stables, 7 bedrooms, a tennis court and footy goals, as well an "aircraft hangar and a swimming pool. Worth £4.5m but a drop in the pool for a man with his salary.
