Greatest Premier League XI of all time

Gary Neville – Right Back

Gary Neville always gave it his all for Manchester United

Gary Neville is a Manchester United legend and was a crucial member of the side that went on to win a plethora of titles under Sir Alex Ferguson. This alone gives an indication of how important and efficient Neville was in carrying out his duties.

Not only is Neville a Man Utd legend, he is also considered as one of the greatest if not the greatest right-backs in the Premier League and there isn’t anyone else who can boast his longevity or his success.

Technically, Neville didn’t have the attributes to be a top full back as he lacked pace – one of the most important attributes needed for a full back as they have to bomb up and down the flank. He wasn’t the strongest of players either, but his tactical awareness, intelligence, work-rate, professionalism and determination made him one of the best defensive full backs in the game.

Neville won 8 Premier League titles in his stunning career and his passion for Manchester United made him a firm fan favourite at Old Trafford.
