Beautiful one Sam, he is always brushed off as a squad player by all this people. Because he remains humble, shared it around even tagged Gary into it!
Thanks for sharing this. I felt it, but couldn’t point what was going on. Gary is a hero and honestly he’s also a funny pundit, he’s exceptional at everything he does!
@@joseph20yearsago61 I can never understand how Sam can be this "OBJECTIVE" in looking at Gary Neville's career to show why Gary SHOULD BE RESPECTED but can't see the mediocrity that is Erik Ten Hag?? I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS.

I'm a Liverpool fan, and I have to agree: Fergie wouldn't have picked him week after week, year after year, if he wasn't keen on him. The guy was Mr. Consistency.
Yeah if that's the case Anderson and Wesley Brown were Balon D'or level😂 ...Man United had many average players and many top players too and that era they had , they will never see one like that in this lifetime
@@joshuakithyoma9575 nonsense, and if you go back when Anderson came in and watch him he was a tremendous player until he got injured, dominated some of the supposed best players in the league.
And an annoying little raging lion in the RB position. I used to think "rival fans must hate him" because even I disliked him a bit. But boy, was he consistent? Much better than he first appeared.
Neville spent his entire career in an elite, trophy hoarding team, during which time many players who were world class in their own right were either sold on, or just didn't make the cut. Gary Neville was not just an average player in a great team. He was a player stood the test of time in an elite team. That can't just be dismissed.
Nailed it. The fact that his spot was never in danger his whole career, while playing for arguably the best team in the world for that whole career says everything. If there was a better RB, he wouldn't have had a spot. Or the captaincy. Or the England spot. Lol He was elite and world class his entire career.
Agree- although one could argue Gary was a key player in two of fergies 'the great teams'. And was already knocking about in the first. Which is quite something. I can only think of giggs or maybe Scholes who can say the same
As a lifelong Liverpool supporter now at the age of 50 I cannot believe the amount of crap people put about Gary Neville the guy played at the top for 15 years won every club trophy going the type of lad any one would want in their team. Utterly ridiculous

Liverpool fan here. Neville was a great player and I’ve been going to Anfield since 1985. Hated him as a fan but respected him for his skill, tenacity and professionalism. Top player. You don’t play for the best team in the league (at the time) if you’re bad!
Nevile panders too much to the other biased pundits on sky, he doesnt like to blow his own trumpet. Neville never needed his right sided midfielder to drop back to help him.
@@frasierfreak92 Total and Utter Nonsense, UTD were camped in the opposition half for 50% of the season with the back 4 patrolling the halfway line, saying Neville couldn't do it when history tells you otherwise is just fantasy
I’m glad someone has made this video, I’ve always thought Neville is too quick to put himself down! He was a Top player I’m a Liverpool fan & one of the reasons we hated him is because he was so good
Even if one didn't grow up watching United through that era of dominance; it should still be fairly obvious he was very good at his position from the fact that Fergie never really looked for a right back that might better him and the 85 caps for England. Similar to what Rio was saying; watching Utd, you never really felt 'they're/we're a bit of a liability at right back'.
I think what it comes down to is that Gary just didn't hog the spotlight for his performances, and RB isn't a 'sexy' position like a winger or a forward. That, and the fact that Gary is just so humble.
Nah, he just wasn't naturally gifted or ultra fast. He says it himself. He was surprised to be in the team and decided not to let his chance go. No way. So he did all he could and always gave 100%.
You hit the nail on the head, he didn't have a stand out attribute. People like players to be cartoon characters with one amazing thing.. Neville was a fantastically well rounded player and the best right back United ever had!
He did have stand out attributes tho. Didn’t stop running. Had a great cross and was great attacking in general. Neville was world class and still had more assists than Walker. Which is mind boggling
im a liverpool fan and there is no arguement there. He was so fundamentally sound people could not complain about him. He is the definition of what just pure grit gives you.
Liverpool fan here... What a fantastic video! I love my club but regardless of who we support we should strive to be objective and appreciate great talent, and Neville certainly was a great talent. Thank you for making this, I hate to see great players be miss remembered.
They need to put him in the centre of the shows and interview The G and world will see how just real he is Roy Keane ready to scrap before the game in the tunnel when big bully Viera picked on him, that story alone shows his character 👏🤩
As a liverpool fan, people take the piss out of him because of what he says about the glazers and the fact that he flopped as a manager. Additionally, he allows these jokes. He takes it like a man, and props to him. He doesn't let his ego speak for himself. The man is in control of his emotionals when he gets mocked by the likes of micha richards. As for the fans... it's almost as people either never seen him play or they somehow relate the fact that because he flopped as a manager, he is also a flop player. Gary neville is a true legend of the game. Didn't set the world alight... football isn’t about that for me anyways. It's consistency that takes you to the top. And he had it in abundance. What. A. Player.
On a wider note there is a real issue with how non challenged biased commentary is being allowed to shape opinion. It's not just Gary Neville, or even Man Utd, but in all walks of life. So a big thumbs up for pointing out the crap that's been allowed to permeate through as if it's fact, rather than what it really is. Bigotry and jealousy.
Gary Neville’s biased commentary has shaped thinking of Trent because he had one bad game against Rashford 7 years ago. You’ve now got gobshites like Keane and this idiot saying he can’t defend despite being part of the defence with the least conceded in two years running and winning multiple trophies.
I think Rashford as well. You don’t go from a 30 goal season to being a bad player next season. And you don’t do it on your own. Often players has fluctuations in their outputs: Giggs goes 13 goals to 1 early on. Scholes had a run 14, 9, 2 in the Premier League. And these guys were in a team overflowing in goal-scorers. They were a team, not just loading it all up on the shoulders of one bloke.
Well said. He was exceptional. First choice for 5 England managers over 10 years, the most capped right back in English history. Won everything with his club, and yes he was of course part of a great team - but he was part of the reason it was a great team! Definitely belonged in that group of players. We could do with him now that’s for sure!
As a villa fan who remembers my club nearly going bankrupt and got relegated having Micah Richards refuse to leave the club even though he was finished and thousands of villa fans begging him to go for the sake of our club writting a petition begging him to cancel his contract (he continued being paid 3 years after his last game for villa ) something united loving Gary I very much doubt would do to his club in the same position....that alone plus obvious ability (I remember seeing Gary play ) makes Neville the far better player
Gary jacked it in as soon as he knew his legs were done, in fact he stayed one season too many because SAF begged him to stay. Half way through that last season Gary jacked it in and cancelled his contract.
Love this blokes humility, same with Scholes’. Two blokes that won everything multiple times and don’t need to prove themselves to anyone. They let folks like the bloke behind this channel say it for them. Great video.
And now his intelligence shows after his career in him building his business empire and one of the biggest RUclips football shows, while alot of the older generations footballers struggled to move on
He was very good consistent player. I don’t like to use FIFA ratings as a an example, but I like to because it helps visualize how good players are. Gary Neville was a 85 rated right back, with all his important fullback stats at or above 80, and his form never hits inconsistent. Always at normal or in form.
well done! Gary was excellent. that stat of only 3 RBs bought during his time is actually insane. people think because you are not the flashiest player in a great team that you aren't top level (makelele suffered from this but then got his flowers thanks to Zidane and Mourinho). football is such a team game that you cannot have a top level team with a weak link...
I must admit I had fallen into this way of thinking about Neville too. Even though I watched most of his career and saw how good he was for us and England. Thanks for snapping me out of it.
Garry is the kind of a player that makes the years of achievements and style of play feel like the standard level for our club ! No other RB could give you that feeling no matter which club we talk about !
Agreed. When Gnev walked down the tunnel injured on St Patrick's Day the entire Old Trafford held its Breath. He was our most important player at that time and more than held the position of Keane. An absolutely brilliant, important player for United and England. It says everything about JC, MR, etc that they try to diminish him ... and it says everything about him that he can sit with his medals and history and just laugh it off. One of the greatest united players ever.
Absolute banger of a video, brother! You should make this every month. I can see the likes of Ole, Carrick, Vidic etc. We'd love to tune in and get a wider perspective of things.
Nice! He was a fantastic player. Outstanding as a fullback. Man Utd looked poorer when he was out the team. Huge respect for what he achieved with club and country.
Im a 44yo lfc fan since 88...back thn i would never pick anyone above gary on RB for england squad..i rate him 8.5/10 and jamie 7.5/10..richards can do 8/10 at his best..carra always in england 25named squad bcoz his he can cover LB and CB if needed..carra not even 2nd best eng RB at any moment...just he can play multi position
I think Neville playing down his ability and career doesn't help. He was functional and lacked flair but he was reliable and solid. I wouldn't mind him in our team right now, would play him ahead of AWB and Dalot.
If he was carried by Beckham then how come he made his England debut over a year before Beckham and was at Euro96 which Beckham wasn't and Beckham's last major tournament with England was no later than G.Neville's and Beckham left ManUtd in 2003 G.Neville would have a further 8 years at ManUtd 6 of them with Cristiano who certainly didn't carry Neville as Gary had to do all the defensive work now and Neville put in more crosses for Cristiano to tap in than Cristiano put in for his attackers when he was a winger. Neville made loads of key assists. So did his Brother to be honest but Gary did it for England as well he gave Shearer an easy headed chance to score vs Scotland in Euro96, gave Gerrard the same in Euro2004. He assisted AndyCole's winner in 99 to win the PL. Even 4 years earlier in 1994/95 last day he assisted ManUtd's equaliser vs WestHam which would've turned the game around and won ManUtd the title if Cole & others had finished good chances to score the winner. He also assisted Sheringham's equaliser vs Arsenal in 97/98 the only other title he lost in the first 9 seasons in the PL when ManUtd were without Keane & Irwin at Highbury Nov97 2-0 down got it back to 2-2 from that assist and only lost the game & with it the title because Scholes was denied a stonewall pen at 2-2. But GaryNeville also won the hardest format of the ChampionsLeague there has ever been.
"Just Failed.. haha" despite the fact you won all there was to win? Despite the fact year on year you performed consistently at a high level? Cmon Gary... You were a DAMN good player who I watched for years and years. Stop downplaying how good you actually were because of clowns like Carragher and Richards.... Micah Richards thinks he is better than Gary Neville? Jesus....
Richards was so good at City they replaced him and sent him packing first choice they got. He retired because nobody wanted him while Nevile only left Sir Alex Fergusons United team because age and injuries caught up with him.
Garry is too good as a person, thats why he undermine himself just to make those clowns Carra and Micah laugh. but we all know both of them nowhere near Garry's level.
Neville was brilliant. I'm not a United fan but always had huge respect for him. He was a dogged performer. Laser focused, hard tackling, a willing runner and a reliable team player. Probably the most underrated player in his position of his generation. Cara making Neville the butt of his jokes is ridiculous and Micah is smoking his own hype to think he was a better player.
Gary Neville was a great player. He was one of the best in the world. Beckham, carrying Neville? What a load of crap. I have nothing but respect for the Neville brothers. Let’s also not forget just who great Phil Neville was too.
The greatest manger and the greatest club…never ever replaced Gary Neville. They barely even bought a back up. That tells you everything you need to know about how good Gary Neville was.
This video is an over-correction. I grew up watching him and he wasn't rated then either. Yes, he's had a better career than Micah Richards and has been more consistent, but to compare him to Zambrotta or Zanetti is not accurate - he couldn't play in midfield like they could, he wasn't technically brilliant, just sound with the basics and rarely injured. Reliable. In the top 3 for right-back careers in PL. Not in the top 3 for right-back ability though.
He made me think of the old Filet-O-Fish with Platt. He was a rock that the rest could use to cover and supply them, while they did the glorious bit and got the back page picture.
I’ve had that conversation with so many friends and work colleagues, who is your all time best premier league 11. The team changes a lot based on personal opinions and some club biases, the midfield is usually the most debatable area of the pitch with Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Keane and Viera etc. The one common denominator though is always Gary Neville at RB. Whether they’re Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal fans it’s always Gary Neville without really having to think too hard about it. He was the most consistent RB I’ve ever seen, it’s a shame that the younger generation don’t seem to realise how good he was, and also people like Micah Richards can be so delusional to think he was a better player.
As much as I can’t stand United and have some form of distain for Gary in some aspects. Good documentary and I make you right on Neville. Funny though that you use Trent as a benchmark. Trent will go onto be a legend for sure. And Carra and Micha truly know Gary is there, that’s all in jest.
With Sir Alex, if Neville was not good enough then he would have been a squad player like Wes Brown or be sold. Nevile could defend, cross, pass and was a professional player that gave his heart for the club on and off the pitch.
Great video Sam - totally agree. He essentially started the overlapping attacking full back trait in English football. Was also a phenomenal crosser, particularly when heading towards the byline. Crosses were never too high or too low - always (mostly) perfect. Criminally underrated but he only has himself to blame for playing himself down.
I'll never not cringe at ex-players like Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher downplaying Neville's abilities and career. He's not exactly done himself any favours with the way he talks about his career, but Richards and Carragher are severely lacking in self awareness. Neither of them were great players.
He was a bit of a Djokovic of Football, he didn't do anything flashy or remarkable, but he absolutely nailed all the basics and had no weaknesses, that is what made him a great player, and is also what makes him overlooked and forgotten vs his flashier contemporaries. He never scored an overhead, or from half way, the women gravitated to the supermodel he played next to etc, but Mr consistent he was, thorn in every team's side.
I'm a huge Federer fan, but suggesting Djokovic has nailed the basics/consistency but doesn't do anything flashy or remarkable is the opinion of an utter casual imo
@yesdcotchin utter casual... well that's a comment of an utter bell. If you had some nous, you'd see that it was a huge compliment I was paying, and it was in the context of other players that took the plaudits more often, yet you focused on one word I used while quickly typing out a post. That's just weird I'd say.
@roronoalaw7772 well done for missing the point. You do know you can compare attributes of two humans without meaning all attributes are identical? I have legs and arms, and so does Messi, doesn't mean I'm saying I'm the best to ever play football.
I think a better comparison would have been David Coffin. No notable standout features yet a strong work ethic and never say die attitude going up against often stronger and more talented players. There is no Djokovic in football. Messi is Federer and Cristiano is Nadal.
Neville and Carragher formed a great partnership on Sky so casual watchers started clubbing them together as players with similar quality, However in reality Neville was great and Carragher was mid at best
Am an Everton fan and in everyone’s prem all time 11 it’s always Ashley Cole left back and Gary Neville right back end of. Also Henry, Ronaldo and Shearer are non negotiable
I'm a Spurs fan (I know, I know). I'm also old (54) lived in London 90-97, then Ireland till 07 (now in US), Neville was brilliant. Consistent, never sent off, (rarely) a real pro. Keano stood up for him then and now. He teases him, but that's just us Irish and our banter. Great video, new sub.
Am a Liverpool fan but i generally like to see things objectively cause i care about good football first , people tend to 1 - follow the narrative of a player more than what actually happens or happened when they play/played and 2 - people get stuck on the flashy things in the wrong way , take Suarez and Zlatan for example they were flashy but they were that all the time diffrence is most players that people think were better than someone like Neville had only a few glimpses of that flashyness and then an empty unimportant void of mediocre play where as Neville was by default a better than average player playing week in week out better than average without the doing or needing to do anything more cause what he already did by default worked like charm , even Suarez and Zlatan that i mentioned were for the most part of their careers in non-perfect teams and sometimes they had to pull out the extra flashy stuff to compansate for their teams overall lacking play as attackers , Neville didnt need to do that yes but also no one else that ever played football would also need to do that in that United team , now show me which players could do what was actually needed in that squad and that could do it just aswell as Neville , spoiler there arent a lot of names and arguably they could be more liabilities than assets in this case .
It was underrated players like Gary Neville, Dennis , Irwin, Butt, Park that allowed the attacking players to thrive..Proper legends in their own rights
Bloody good vid, needed to be said. Many of today's younger fans never saw him play, and many of the older ones can't see past their own bias and tribalism (ABU) to admit he was a great player. As a United fan of similar age to Gary, I followed his career closely for many years, and while I played right wing for much of my own playing career, it was when I finally got my chance at right back that I felt most comfortable on the field - and I think it had a lot to do with having watched Gary play. He remains one of my all-time favourites, and in my books, one of the all-time greats!
Carragher = a single special night Neville = a dominant decade you can't even compare the players honestly the audacity for him to say such a thing, even as banter. He couldn't even shine the mans boots in their playing days...
Man you’re title made me watch thinking oh boy here’s another young goof who watches football through social media clips & narratives about to try to diminish his career but I’m pleasantly surprised 💪🏾never the best athlete even me as a kid thought he wasn’t that good but the older I got & more I understood the game I truly understood his value
I don’t think Henderson is respected more any longer, both as a player and personally lol. Good video lad even coming from a non united fan I’d say this is pretty fair and has some really good editing pacing. Not a big fan of the constant fake video artefacts and showing the same clips twice. Also some of your sound levelling seems off. I’ll probs watch more
The production quality of this video is quality sam along with many if your recent ones, especially the omar berrada video, keep it up pal really enjoying the content 🙌🔥
i mean yes neville was an above average, functional right back whose uber-professionalism and loyalty to utd kept him at the top of the game, surrounded by superstars as he was, im not having a go in any way, his aggression and spirit was something to behold and every team needs that water carrier type player, especially back then...but thats it, he wasnt world class, one look through our 'golden generations' international efforts can tell you that, he was ruthlessly exploited many times at tournaments....still a great player, and even better pundit imo also whats this guy on about with the trent 'unwillingness to track back' comment? yes he's caught up the field a lot but thats because klopp almost plays the lad as a winger, one thing that i thought was accepted by now is that there are no passengers in klopp teams, trent being caught upfield is so obviously by design that i thought it went without saying...keep up lad
I remember being around 9-10 years old watching a United game with my dad and Gary Nev scuffed while almost falling over a ballooned shot which saw him miss an easy open goal. I couldn't believe it, 'shocking! how did he miss that?' I said and my dad looked back and replied 'Son, every player has his limitations'. Those words have stuck with me until this day. this day I'll never forget what he said
I always actually question if people who actually criticise players from even 20 to 30 years ago realise their is actually little difference in terms of overall ability but they get more interested in a but of stats and numbers that weren't even being recorded then and too much emphasis is being put on having them rather than the end result. Before you even said he had more assists that all the players you listed combined I would have guessed that too since he was one of the most accurate crossers in the league after Beckham left. You also don't consistently play that many games over nearly two decades for the top team if you aren't better than others that could have been brought in. But as you said it's because he has said that he wasn't good himself that others have kind of went along with it without even remembering how good he was or never seen him play.
lets face it. its just the younger generation that haven't seen him play that says it. anyone that grew up watching the PL that era knows for sure hes better than most RBs in the in the modern PL
I watched neville for many years. Bang average player. Just a very very good professional. Trent, kyle walker, fully fit Reece james are all streets ahead. Mentioning nevilles trophy haul is the same argument me saying liverpool > man utd, I mean liverpool have won more trophies, right? Throughout nevilles career never did anyone ever mention him as "world class" or the world's best. Bang average at best.
All of the united greats get overlooked nowadays. People did not witness what United fan witnessed during those successful years. Week in week out getting the best out of every other team, every United players were elite!! Only city players recently emulated what United did and that only for 5-6 years. United did it for 20 years!
Well said. Gary Neville is a legend when United was a team of legends. I have supported the greatest football team for over fifty years and Gary is hands down the best right back we have had in that time. I`m used to as all United fans are, the unhinged hatred and pure jealousy towards our glorious club and their attempts to rewrite history and constantly put us down. An idiot in his twenties told me the other day that Roy Keane was over rated and only looked good because of his team mates ! I was going to kick off and go full Scottish on him but instead I shook my head and quietly told him if you believe that you are delusional and know nothing about the great game and should never speak again. I hated Stevie G. As all United fans do. That's our job but I respected him as a player because second to being a Red Devil I`m a football fan. People that don`t respect are not worth listening to or talking to.
For me Gary was a very good right back, not world class but very good and his biggest strength was that he hardly ever made a bad game, well not until the end of his career were injurys gave him problems.
@@24sumo and he didn’t need a trophy at international level to prove he was world class. His club level performances alone solidify him as world class.
I think the key is how long he played for his team. Many other players had a short succesful time at utd but were ultimately replaced. United's slide towards decline didn't happen after Beckham or Keane it happened after Neville. Utd did win one more title but achieved that with one of the worst defensive records in history.
Would be cool to see a video on Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Cleverley, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Silvestre, Welbeck and all the old squad players who are soooooo underappreciated. If you saw any of them playing instead of the starting 11 you just knew they how to slot in. How unappreciated and rated rhey are yet almost all of them once they left were captains at their new clubs. They were so special players and Fergie managed them absolutely perfectly ❤
Great vid, his biggest fault is his self deprecation, speaking from experience I've realised in old age it serves no purpose, if you are young and have this stop right now, there are enough people out there willing to cut you down without doing it to yourself
Henderson isn't respected at all, everyone hates him. He won a fraction less because he competed with a Guardiola City team that is unstoppable unlike Neville
True who were Utd competing with in the early to mid 90s not Liverpool they were finished after their 70s and 80 glory years. Blackburn fukin Rovers that's who their main rivals were😂
Even as a scouser I can say neville was outstanding. Always said the less you notice a defender in a game that can sometimes indicate how well they're doing from a defending point of view.
There's something about how people talk about Gary Neville that I want to discuss...
You're not that good in analysing games and skills but you excel in making short documentary and man utd news
Only one persons opinion matters. The man who picked him every week.

Nevile panders too much to the other biased pundits on sky, he doesnt like to blow his own trumpet. Neville never needed his right sided midfielder to drop back to help him.
He spent 3 years behind Ronaldo (04-07) so i think that fact illustrates your point nicely!
@@CarlinConnollydon’t forget that before that he had beckham
@@Deathmare235 becks ran back tho lol
Yeah and Neville would be killed in a modern high line system.
@@frasierfreak92 Total and Utter Nonsense, UTD were camped in the opposition half for 50% of the season with the back 4 patrolling the halfway line, saying Neville couldn't do it when history tells you otherwise is just fantasy
I’m glad someone has made this video, I’ve always thought Neville is too quick to put himself down! He was a Top player
I’m a Liverpool fan & one of the reasons we hated him is because he was so good
Neville always downplayed his ability, yet he was one of our best. Great production again Sam, keep up your excellent efforts
Downplayed his ability? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭...Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted him but he refused because he didn't want people to know how good he was.
@@Gorilla8 UTD was better than Barca for most of the time Gary was a player. Heck they knocked Barca out a few times in the CL
@BOZ_11 True...I agree. This was because of all other ManU players except for him.
@@Gorilla8woah forgot he almost lobbed one of the all time greatest goalkeepers in Champions League 🤩
@mumar7867 Alomost doesn't count. Netherlands almost won the world cup many times
Even if one didn't grow up watching United through that era of dominance; it should still be fairly obvious he was very good at his position from the fact that Fergie never really looked for a right back that might better him and the 85 caps for England.
Similar to what Rio was saying; watching Utd, you never really felt 'they're/we're a bit of a liability at right back'.
I think what it comes down to is that Gary just didn't hog the spotlight for his performances, and RB isn't a 'sexy' position like a winger or a forward. That, and the fact that Gary is just so humble.
too humble 😅
Nah, he just wasn't naturally gifted or ultra fast. He says it himself. He was surprised to be in the team and decided not to let his chance go. No way. So he did all he could and always gave 100%.
Humble about his playing career but humble generally absolutely not
And yet, it has become a sexy position.
That is a notable difference
@@yt.personal.identification not really. Aside from Trent and Kyle Walker, how many other RBs really get any kind of attention, compared to say, LWs?
Carragh and Micah couldn't get in front of him in the English team when he was still in his prime. Says it all really.
You hit the nail on the head, he didn't have a stand out attribute. People like players to be cartoon characters with one amazing thing.. Neville was a fantastically well rounded player and the best right back United ever had!
excellently put
He did have stand out attributes tho.
Didn’t stop running. Had a great cross and was great attacking in general.
Neville was world class and still had more assists than Walker. Which is mind boggling
@@24sumonot just Walker but a few right backs combined 🤯
im a liverpool fan and there is no arguement there. He was so fundamentally sound people could not complain about him. He is the definition of what just pure grit gives you.
May be the best RB that ENGLAND ever had tbf👍🔥
Liverpool fan here... What a fantastic video! I love my club but regardless of who we support we should strive to be objective and appreciate great talent, and Neville certainly was a great talent. Thank you for making this, I hate to see great players be miss remembered.
Good man Sam. Sick of telling people that he was a good player. I wish hed stop downplaying his career.
They need to put him in the centre of the shows and interview The G and world will see how just real he is
Roy Keane ready to scrap before the game in the tunnel when big bully Viera picked on him, that story alone shows his character 👏🤩
As a liverpool fan, people take the piss out of him because of what he says about the glazers and the fact that he flopped as a manager. Additionally, he allows these jokes. He takes it like a man, and props to him. He doesn't let his ego speak for himself. The man is in control of his emotionals when he gets mocked by the likes of micha
richards. As for the fans... it's almost as people either never seen him play or they somehow relate the fact that because he flopped as a manager, he is also a flop player. Gary neville is a true legend of the game. Didn't set the world alight... football isn’t about that for me anyways. It's consistency that takes you to the top. And he had it in abundance. What. A. Player.
On a wider note there is a real issue with how non challenged biased commentary is being allowed to shape opinion. It's not just Gary Neville, or even Man Utd, but in all walks of life. So a big thumbs up for pointing out the crap that's been allowed to permeate through as if it's fact, rather than what it really is. Bigotry and jealousy.
100% facts
Gary Neville’s biased commentary has shaped thinking of Trent because he had one bad game against Rashford 7 years ago. You’ve now got gobshites like Keane and this idiot saying he can’t defend despite being part of the defence with the least conceded in two years running and winning multiple trophies.
I think Rashford as well. You don’t go from a 30 goal season to being a bad player next season. And you don’t do it on your own. Often players has fluctuations in their outputs: Giggs goes 13 goals to 1 early on. Scholes had a run 14, 9, 2 in the Premier League. And these guys were in a team overflowing in goal-scorers. They were a team, not just loading it all up on the shoulders of one bloke.
Well said. He was exceptional. First choice for 5 England managers over 10 years, the most capped right back in English history.
Won everything with his club, and yes he was of course part of a great team - but he was part of the reason it was a great team! Definitely belonged in that group of players.
We could do with him now that’s for sure!
Thank U,
Mr. Gary Neville for showing us that we don't need to be egotistical maniacs to be successful.
Gary Neville, are you sure?
As a villa fan who remembers my club nearly going bankrupt and got relegated having Micah Richards refuse to leave the club even though he was finished and thousands of villa fans begging him to go for the sake of our club writting a petition begging him to cancel his contract (he continued being paid 3 years after his last game for villa ) something united loving Gary I very much doubt would do to his club in the same position....that alone plus obvious ability (I remember seeing Gary play ) makes Neville the far better player
Gary jacked it in as soon as he knew his legs were done, in fact he stayed one season too many because SAF begged him to stay. Half way through that last season Gary jacked it in and cancelled his contract.
@@Salacious-Crumb didn't know that about Micah, must be bitter seeing him everywhere now
Love this blokes humility, same with Scholes’. Two blokes that won everything multiple times and don’t need to prove themselves to anyone. They let folks like the bloke behind this channel say it for them. Great video.
What an absolute eye opener. Gary will always be a legend. Time to fight back as soon as we hear something said about our legend !!
“Our legend”??….Speak for yourself,most people have always thought he’s just a bit of a div.
Time to fight back… sm1 preferring Kyle Walker isn’t a war declaration lol pattern up
As a new age Liverpool fan.. THANK YOU !
And now his intelligence shows after his career in him building his business empire and one of the biggest RUclips football shows, while alot of the older generations footballers struggled to move on
This video is dumb and unnecessary because those people are obviously bantering and joking with Gary Neville.
He was very good consistent player. I don’t like to use FIFA ratings as a an example, but I like to because it helps visualize how good players are. Gary Neville was a 85 rated right back, with all his important fullback stats at or above 80, and his form never hits inconsistent. Always at normal or in form.
What year did neville have an 85 rated card?
@@leefswgoh7558 fifa ultimate team didn't exist back when neville was playing but neville would have most likely been an 85 or 86 rated played
well done! Gary was excellent. that stat of only 3 RBs bought during his time is actually insane. people think because you are not the flashiest player in a great team that you aren't top level (makelele suffered from this but then got his flowers thanks to Zidane and Mourinho). football is such a team game that you cannot have a top level team with a weak link...
I must admit I had fallen into this way of thinking about Neville too. Even though I watched most of his career and saw how good he was for us and England. Thanks for snapping me out of it.
I was just thinking the same thing I was imagining we'd never watched him and this was the first time seeing him 😂😂
Durrr brains 😂👀
@@danmancmufc 🤣🤣🤣
I reckon Neville could have made the switches in play that trent does he just didn't as he didnt need to and wasnt asked to
Garry is the kind of a player that makes the years of achievements and style of play feel like the standard level for our club ! No other RB could give you that feeling no matter which club we talk about !
Agreed. When Gnev walked down the tunnel injured on St Patrick's Day the entire Old Trafford held its Breath. He was our most important player at that time and more than held the position of Keane. An absolutely brilliant, important player for United and England. It says everything about JC, MR, etc that they try to diminish him ... and it says everything about him that he can sit with his medals and history and just laugh it off. One of the greatest united players ever.
Absolute banger of a video, brother! You should make this every month. I can see the likes of Ole, Carrick, Vidic etc. We'd love to tune in and get a wider perspective of things.
As a liverpool fan, I can completely agree with everything stated in this video.
Fantastic fullback.
Nice! He was a fantastic player. Outstanding as a fullback. Man Utd looked poorer when he was out the team. Huge respect for what he achieved with club and country.
Im a 44yo lfc fan since 88...back thn i would never pick anyone above gary on RB for england squad..i rate him 8.5/10 and jamie 7.5/10..richards can do 8/10 at his best..carra always in england 25named squad bcoz his he can cover LB and CB if needed..carra not even 2nd best eng RB at any moment...just he can play multi position
It felt like the whole time Gary was in the squad we only ever had one RB which was hm, and I was completely fine with that
Jimmy Rimmer won 2 European Cup winners medals ( '68 & '82)...despite being on the pitch a combined 9 minutes....
I think Neville playing down his ability and career doesn't help. He was functional and lacked flair but he was reliable and solid. I wouldn't mind him in our team right now, would play him ahead of AWB and Dalot.
If he was carried by Beckham then how come he made his England debut over a year before Beckham and was at Euro96 which Beckham wasn't and Beckham's last major tournament with England was no later than G.Neville's and Beckham left ManUtd in 2003 G.Neville would have a further 8 years at ManUtd 6 of them with Cristiano who certainly didn't carry Neville as Gary had to do all the defensive work now and Neville put in more crosses for Cristiano to tap in than Cristiano put in for his attackers when he was a winger.
Neville made loads of key assists. So did his Brother to be honest but Gary did it for England as well he gave Shearer an easy headed chance to score vs Scotland in Euro96, gave Gerrard the same in Euro2004. He assisted AndyCole's winner in 99 to win the PL. Even 4 years earlier in 1994/95 last day he assisted ManUtd's equaliser vs WestHam which would've turned the game around and won ManUtd the title if Cole & others had finished good chances to score the winner. He also assisted Sheringham's equaliser vs Arsenal in 97/98 the only other title he lost in the first 9 seasons in the PL when ManUtd were without Keane & Irwin at Highbury Nov97 2-0 down got it back to 2-2 from that assist and only lost the game & with it the title because Scholes was denied a stonewall pen at 2-2.
But GaryNeville also won the hardest format of the ChampionsLeague there has ever been.
"Just Failed.. haha" despite the fact you won all there was to win? Despite the fact year on year you performed consistently at a high level? Cmon Gary... You were a DAMN good player who I watched for years and years. Stop downplaying how good you actually were because of clowns like Carragher and Richards....
Micah Richards thinks he is better than Gary Neville? Jesus....
Richards was so good at City they replaced him and sent him packing first choice they got. He retired because nobody wanted him while Nevile only left Sir Alex Fergusons United team because age and injuries caught up with him.
Garry is too good as a person, thats why he undermine himself just to make those clowns Carra and Micah laugh. but we all know both of them nowhere near Garry's level.
Neville was brilliant. I'm not a United fan but always had huge respect for him. He was a dogged performer. Laser focused, hard tackling, a willing runner and a reliable team player.
Probably the most underrated player in his position of his generation.
Cara making Neville the butt of his jokes is ridiculous and Micah is smoking his own hype to think he was a better player.
He was a class act
Gary Neville was a great player. He was one of the best in the world. Beckham, carrying Neville? What a load of crap. I have nothing but respect for the Neville brothers. Let’s also not forget just who great Phil Neville was too.
The greatest manger and the greatest club…never ever replaced Gary Neville. They barely even bought a back up. That tells you everything you need to know about how good Gary Neville was.
Neville never played for Barcelona 😁
This video is an over-correction. I grew up watching him and he wasn't rated then either. Yes, he's had a better career than Micah Richards and has been more consistent, but to compare him to Zambrotta or Zanetti is not accurate - he couldn't play in midfield like they could, he wasn't technically brilliant, just sound with the basics and rarely injured. Reliable. In the top 3 for right-back careers in PL. Not in the top 3 for right-back ability though.
He made me think of the old Filet-O-Fish with Platt. He was a rock that the rest could use to cover and supply them, while they did the glorious bit and got the back page picture.
I’ve had that conversation with so many friends and work colleagues, who is your all time best premier league 11. The team changes a lot based on personal opinions and some club biases, the midfield is usually the most debatable area of the pitch with Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Keane and Viera etc. The one common denominator though is always Gary Neville at RB. Whether they’re Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal fans it’s always Gary Neville without really having to think too hard about it. He was the most consistent RB I’ve ever seen, it’s a shame that the younger generation don’t seem to realise how good he was, and also people like Micah Richards can be so delusional to think he was a better player.
One of your best videos yet lad we'll done
As much as I can’t stand United and have some form of distain for Gary in some aspects. Good documentary and I make you right on Neville. Funny though that you use Trent as a benchmark. Trent will go onto be a legend for sure. And Carra and Micha truly know Gary is there, that’s all in jest.
What are an accurate description. Sam, you make me proud 🎉❤
With Sir Alex, if Neville was not good enough then he would have been a squad player like Wes Brown or be sold. Nevile could defend, cross, pass and was a professional player that gave his heart for the club on and off the pitch.
Great video Sam - totally agree. He essentially started the overlapping attacking full back trait in English football. Was also a phenomenal crosser, particularly when heading towards the byline. Crosses were never too high or too low - always (mostly) perfect. Criminally underrated but he only has himself to blame for playing himself down.
I'll never not cringe at ex-players like Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher downplaying Neville's abilities and career. He's not exactly done himself any favours with the way he talks about his career, but Richards and Carragher are severely lacking in self awareness. Neither of them were great players.
He was a bit of a Djokovic of Football, he didn't do anything flashy or remarkable, but he absolutely nailed all the basics and had no weaknesses, that is what made him a great player, and is also what makes him overlooked and forgotten vs his flashier contemporaries. He never scored an overhead, or from half way, the women gravitated to the supermodel he played next to etc, but Mr consistent he was, thorn in every team's side.
I'm a huge Federer fan, but suggesting Djokovic has nailed the basics/consistency but doesn't do anything flashy or remarkable is the opinion of an utter casual imo
@yesdcotchin utter casual... well that's a comment of an utter bell. If you had some nous, you'd see that it was a huge compliment I was paying, and it was in the context of other players that took the plaudits more often, yet you focused on one word I used while quickly typing out a post. That's just weird I'd say.
Kind of a terrible comparison since Djokovic is the GOAT
@roronoalaw7772 well done for missing the point. You do know you can compare attributes of two humans without meaning all attributes are identical? I have legs and arms, and so does Messi, doesn't mean I'm saying I'm the best to ever play football.
I think a better comparison would have been David Coffin. No notable standout features yet a strong work ethic and never say die attitude going up against often stronger and more talented players. There is no Djokovic in football. Messi is Federer and Cristiano is Nadal.
Neville and Carragher formed a great partnership on Sky so casual watchers started clubbing them together as players with similar quality, However in reality Neville was great and Carragher was mid at best
Gary Neville the Irreplaceable Right FullBack: Setting the Records Straight by Sam. I'll gladly do the Forward for you please
Am an Everton fan and in everyone’s prem all time 11 it’s always Ashley Cole left back and Gary Neville right back end of. Also Henry, Ronaldo and Shearer are non negotiable
I'm a Spurs fan (I know, I know). I'm also old (54) lived in London 90-97, then Ireland till 07 (now in US), Neville was brilliant. Consistent, never sent off, (rarely) a real pro. Keano stood up for him then and now. He teases him, but that's just us Irish and our banter. Great video, new sub.
Am a Liverpool fan but i generally like to see things objectively cause i care about good football first , people tend to 1 - follow the narrative of a player more than what actually happens or happened when they play/played and 2 - people get stuck on the flashy things in the wrong way , take Suarez and Zlatan for example they were flashy but they were that all the time diffrence is most players that people think were better than someone like Neville had only a few glimpses of that flashyness and then an empty unimportant void of mediocre play where as Neville was by default a better than average player playing week in week out better than average without the doing or needing to do anything more cause what he already did by default worked like charm , even Suarez and Zlatan that i mentioned were for the most part of their careers in non-perfect teams and sometimes they had to pull out the extra flashy stuff to compansate for their teams overall lacking play as attackers , Neville didnt need to do that yes but also no one else that ever played football would also need to do that in that United team , now show me which players could do what was actually needed in that squad and that could do it just aswell as Neville , spoiler there arent a lot of names and arguably they could be more liabilities than assets in this case .
Jesus Christ, Carragher's annoying!
It was underrated players like Gary Neville, Dennis , Irwin, Butt, Park that allowed the attacking players to thrive..Proper legends in their own rights
Bloody good vid, needed to be said. Many of today's younger fans never saw him play, and many of the older ones can't see past their own bias and tribalism (ABU) to admit he was a great player. As a United fan of similar age to Gary, I followed his career closely for many years, and while I played right wing for much of my own playing career, it was when I finally got my chance at right back that I felt most comfortable on the field - and I think it had a lot to do with having watched Gary play. He remains one of my all-time favourites, and in my books, one of the all-time greats!
Carragher = a single special night
Neville = a dominant decade
you can't even compare the players honestly the audacity for him to say such a thing, even as banter. He couldn't even shine the mans boots in their playing days...
Fair play Sam , great video and needed to be said . Gary is a person who should be admired
Man you’re title made me watch thinking oh boy here’s another young goof who watches football through social media clips & narratives about to try to diminish his career but I’m pleasantly surprised 💪🏾never the best athlete even me as a kid thought he wasn’t that good but the older I got & more I understood the game I truly understood his value
Spot on Sam, the record needs to be set straight. I hope you're doing well and on the road to recovery following your surgery. Take good care bro.
I don’t think Henderson is respected more any longer, both as a player and personally lol. Good video lad even coming from a non united fan I’d say this is pretty fair and has some really good editing pacing. Not a big fan of the constant fake video artefacts and showing the same clips twice. Also some of your sound levelling seems off. I’ll probs watch more
The production quality of this video is quality sam along with many if your recent ones, especially the omar berrada video, keep it up pal really enjoying the content 🙌🔥
i mean yes neville was an above average, functional right back whose uber-professionalism and loyalty to utd kept him at the top of the game, surrounded by superstars as he was, im not having a go in any way, his aggression and spirit was something to behold and every team needs that water carrier type player, especially back then...but thats it, he wasnt world class, one look through our 'golden generations' international efforts can tell you that, he was ruthlessly exploited many times at tournaments....still a great player, and even better pundit imo
also whats this guy on about with the trent 'unwillingness to track back' comment? yes he's caught up the field a lot but thats because klopp almost plays the lad as a winger, one thing that i thought was accepted by now is that there are no passengers in klopp teams, trent being caught upfield is so obviously by design that i thought it went without saying...keep up lad
Long overdue! Well said!
This is such a good video. No one has been able to put it like this. It’s criminal how underrated he is
Gary was a jack of all trades but master of none, he was a consistent 7-8/10 week in week out and stayed consistent throughout his whole career.
I remember being around 9-10 years old watching a United game with my dad and Gary Nev scuffed while almost falling over a ballooned shot which saw him miss an easy open goal.
I couldn't believe it, 'shocking! how did he miss that?' I said and my dad looked back and replied 'Son, every player has his limitations'. Those words have stuck with me until this day.
this day I'll never forget what he said
NEVILLE IS A LEGEND SIMPLE AS THAT I WOULDNT OF CHANGED HIM AT UTD EITHER HE PLAYED FOR THE BADGE EVERY GAME HES CRIMINALY UNDER RATED
Højlund is fit W
I always actually question if people who actually criticise players from even 20 to 30 years ago realise their is actually little difference in terms of overall ability but they get more interested in a but of stats and numbers that weren't even being recorded then and too much emphasis is being put on having them rather than the end result. Before you even said he had more assists that all the players you listed combined I would have guessed that too since he was one of the most accurate crossers in the league after Beckham left. You also don't consistently play that many games over nearly two decades for the top team if you aren't better than others that could have been brought in. But as you said it's because he has said that he wasn't good himself that others have kind of went along with it without even remembering how good he was or never seen him play.
I love how Neville lets Jamie carragher bray like the donkey he is, while probably thinking about his trophy cabinet:)
lets face it. its just the younger generation that haven't seen him play that says it. anyone that grew up watching the PL that era knows for sure hes better than most RBs in the in the modern PL
I watched neville for many years. Bang average player. Just a very very good professional. Trent, kyle walker, fully fit Reece james are all streets ahead.
Mentioning nevilles trophy haul is the same argument me saying liverpool > man utd, I mean liverpool have won more trophies, right?
Throughout nevilles career never did anyone ever mention him as "world class" or the world's best. Bang average at best.
You watched him for many years? All 38 league games a season, every season? Clown
Gary Neville is a legend. Micah was a bit part player on a good team.
Technically he was average but he had great determination, was always fit and consistent.
All you need to see is Roy Keane giving Gary a side glance to see if he should step in when Micah is talking trash.
Lmao Trent sucks at RB. Not even in the conversation with Neville.
Gary Neville and Dani Carvajal are players who not everyone has IQ to rate.
we should get united to share this video and label it as "Gary appreciation post"
Neville was twice the player both Carra and Richards ever were.
All of the united greats get overlooked nowadays. People did not witness what United fan witnessed during those successful years. Week in week out getting the best out of every other team, every United players were elite!!
Only city players recently emulated what United did and that only for 5-6 years. United did it for 20 years!
Well said. Gary Neville is a legend when United was a team of legends. I have supported the greatest football team for over fifty years and Gary is hands down the best right back we have had in that time. I`m used to as all United fans are, the unhinged hatred and pure jealousy towards our glorious club and their attempts to rewrite history and constantly put us down. An idiot in his twenties told me the other day that Roy Keane was over rated and only looked good because of his team mates ! I was going to kick off and go full Scottish on him but instead I shook my head and quietly told him if you believe that you are delusional and know nothing about the great game and should never speak again. I hated Stevie G. As all United fans do. That's our job but I respected him as a player because second to being a Red Devil I`m a football fan. People that don`t respect are not worth listening to or talking to.
For me Gary was a very good right back, not world class but very good and his biggest strength was that he hardly ever made a bad game, well not until the end of his career were injurys gave him problems.
lol he was absolutely world class.
5 prem teams of the seson and voted best in Europe one year
Pretty much the definition of world class
@@24sumo and he didn’t need a trophy at international level to prove he was world class. His club level performances alone solidify him as world class.
NEVILLE 📣🔰💯 ABSOLUTE UTD LEGEND AND PREMIER LEAGUE HALL OF FAME 100%
I think the key is how long he played for his team. Many other players had a short succesful time at utd but were ultimately replaced. United's slide towards decline didn't happen after Beckham or Keane it happened after Neville. Utd did win one more title but achieved that with one of the worst defensive records in history.
Would be cool to see a video on Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Cleverley, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Silvestre, Welbeck and all the old squad players who are soooooo underappreciated. If you saw any of them playing instead of the starting 11 you just knew they how to slot in. How unappreciated and rated rhey are yet almost all of them once they left were captains at their new clubs. They were so special players and Fergie managed them absolutely perfectly ❤
John O'Shea was brilliant. Could play any position in defence or midfield, and he even kept a clean sheet as a substitute keeper one time!
I see the same thing with Beckham. These young football fans that never saw him play just think he was average player for some reason. Crazy
in essence, neville was the modern day denis irwin
Great vid, his biggest fault is his self deprecation, speaking from experience I've realised in old age it serves no purpose, if you are young and have this stop right now, there are enough people out there willing to cut you down without doing it to yourself
Henderson isn't respected at all, everyone hates him. He won a fraction less because he competed with a Guardiola City team that is unstoppable unlike Neville
True who were Utd competing with in the early to mid 90s not Liverpool they were finished after their 70s and 80 glory years. Blackburn fukin Rovers that's who their main rivals were😂
He walks into every premier league team right now
Even as a scouser I can say neville was outstanding. Always said the less you notice a defender in a game that can sometimes indicate how well they're doing from a defending point of view.
I f@&king hate Manchester United BUT Gary Neville was BRILLIANT!!!!!!! An all time football legend.
He deserves respect!!!!
