Lescott hails Barry as man who makes City tick

JOLEON LESCOTT has hailed the contribution of unsung hero Gareth Barry to the Manchester City cause this season.

In a largely spectacular campaign, the accolades have tended to be spread around David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli, Yaya Toure and, occasionally, Joe Hart.

Yet Lescott is acutely aware none of the superstars would be able to perform without the tireless work of the less identifiable members of the City side.
