Pictures have emerged of Gareth Barry enjoying a night out ahead of West Brom's match with Burnley at The Hawthorns.

Barry, 37, appeared to pose for pictures in popular student nightclub Snobs in Birmingham city centre with fans posting the images on Twitter in the small hours.

The former Aston Villa, Manchester City and Everton midfielder is not in the squad for today’s match with Burnley due to a knee injury, meaning no restrictions had been placed upon him.

But the pictures being posted hours before a match Albion must win has riled supporters who haven’t forgotten what happened in Barcelona.

Barry was one of four experienced Baggies players who allegedly hijacked a taxi after a night out during the club’s recent mid-season training camp in Spain.

Barry, along with Jonny Evans, Jake Livermore and former Wales goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, apologised for their actions and admit breaking a curfew during the trip.

The quartet allegedly drove a taxi away from McDonald’s and left it outside their five-star hotel in the early hours of the morning following a night out.

The vehicle was apparently later returned to its rightful owner, and the club confirmed earlier on Friday they had launched an investigation into the incident.

All things Albion tweeted: “Social media doesn't tell the full story of course but seriously Gareth Barry... no one has forgotten Barcelona yet mate, just keep your head down.”

Sam Hodgson added: “Gareth Barry in Snobs the night before a game, wow. If that doesn’t sum up our season I don’t know what does.”
