It's hard to put any player as similar to Gary. Maybe you could say he was a better version of Sheringham?
Not even close, mate. He was so much more than Teddy.

I did say a better version!

I expect the closest you could state for present day was mix Grealish passing and running at defenders with Haalands finishing touches. Maradona wanted his shirt and if he played today, people would be stating a skilful player "is the new Shaw", not the new Messi.

Wonderful . I get the picture. An attacking skilled player! And a hero to many !
Best wishes to you enjoying the match and the evening!

Up The Villa!

4-4-2 is rarely played.

If he was about today I'd say the Modric type role would be his.

When did we last manage to keep a clean sheet? Tonight would be good.

A clean sheet is a miracle against the Arse.

Aguerro is the closest I can think of that would be a good modern-day match for Shaw.
