He was a proper right back. He does his job. Nothing flashy but that's enough.

We need to tell Gary Neville how good Gary Neville was

He was incredibly professional, disciplined and industrious. He provided the defensive balance was tactically astute, defensively reliable, went on the overlap and delivered good crosses and was assertive, commanding and had excellent chemistry with his teammates. He was very solid and very important for the team and gave a solid platform for the more gifted and flamboyant players to shine. Fergie wouldn't have kept him all those years if he wasn't good. I think in a later era, they had lots of wingers converting to fullback so the natural fullbacks don't look as impressive attacking-wise but the proper fullbacks were more balanced. At the risk of repeating, Fergie wouldn't have kept him so long if he wasn't too quality and always consistent and reliable.

Was consistent and gave everything he had, can't argue with that

He is everything that players like Trent Alexander and Pedro Porro are not. Defence first, attack second. Never out of position and guaranteed to give you a 7/10 performance every week. He fought for that shirt like it was life or death. Itβs personalities like Neville that win you titles. I support spurs and can assure you our team is seriously lacking a few Gary Nevilleβs

Manchester United had players for roles not for image, John o Shea many said was useless! He had his job to do, Neville might think he's useless but he had a job to do Wes brown, Nani, so on average names but huge in importance, as Keane said it's a package

For the most part of the game, simple is enough and efficient which is why he fit right in. Work ethic speaks a lot when we talk about playing simple ergo efficient football

He always gave his all and was actually better than people think on the ball. He didn't give it away cheaply, ran all day to support Beckham and was very tough to beat. Players like Butt, Oshea and Brown were similar but also had great Utd careers by brilliant work ethic and application too. Neville was the one that stayed the longest/played most.

Gary Neville wasnβt the fastest nor the strongest he never was the most talented on the ball BUTβ¦. He was always consistent and reliable, always covering the teams attack and defence, knowing where to position himself, knowing to stop opponent attacks He was the most efficient reliable right back to have
