We love Gary Neville because he is one of us. All this phony hugging and high-fiving you see other teams do ahead of kick-off, the badge kissing, the promises of finishing a career at a club, the sulks, the agents and everything else involved in football these days made us appreciate Nev all the more.
He gets it. He understands what makes our club what it is. He understands its importance, he knows what it means to us, he realises how lucky he is every time he ran out on the pitch wearing that shirt, because he’s one of us.
“I saw men screaming, with veins coming out of their neck on Deansgate the day after we won the European Cup,” he said five years ago. “Nothing in their life made them do that before, nothing in their life made them do it since. You can spend 30 quid on nothing these days, on absolute rubbish. Or you can get the buzz of your life out of watching United.”
He isn’t talking cliché’s and he’s not saying what he thinks is expected, he says what he thinks and what he knows.
Loads of players say they want to be at their current club forever. Some of them manage to con the fans (Rooney/Torres/J Cole etc.) and others just always sound like they’re bullshitting. Money is everything in football these days and Neville is one of the few players, very few players, who you know would turn down a bigger contract elsewhere if it meant leaving United. Neville at his peak wouldn’t have thought twice of a bigger wage at Chelsea or anywhere else.
“I always tell the young players here if you look down at your shirt and see a Manchester United badge, you’re not having a bad day,” he said. “You’re doing all right. The day I don’t have the United badge on my chest will be a sad one for me. I don’t think I could ever have the same feeling playing for another football club.”
He’s living the dream. What we wouldn’t all give to go out on that pitch, wearing that shirt, hearing the roar of the Stretford End behind you, knocking in balls to some of the best players in the world to score and getting to turn and celebrate with the crowd. Can you imagine being at Anfield when John O’Shea scored that winner and going absolutely bonkers in front of our away fans? Can you imagine how that would feel? Can you imagine lifting the Premiership trophy as the captain of Manchester United? Can you imagine dancing on the Nou Camp pitch after winning the European Cup for the first time in three decades after two injury time goals? His career is immense. Other players at other clubs could win what he has but it wouldn’t mean half as much to them.
“When you first walked into that ground at the age of five or ten… you fell in love with that team running out in that red shirt, in that great ground, on that green pitch. That was what drew you to the club and made you think, wow, that’s got me. And it’s an addiction you have for life. It was walking into the stadium, that’s what gripped me, the size of it — I was in awe of the whole place. I just love everything; the badge, the history.”
It isn’t just the fact he loves this club or always dreamed of playing for United that makes his career so special, but the fact as a youngster, he was nowhere near one of the best. But this is what he wanted. He wanted to play for Manchester United and he was going to do whatever he could to make it happen.
“I still wonder why I was invited back every year, and it can only have been attitude,” he once said. “If training started at 5pm, I would be there at 4.15, passing against a wall. I knew I had to do that when I saw the skills of local lads like Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt at 13. Then the out-of-town kids joined us, like David Beckham, Keith Gillespie and Robbie Savage. I was a central midfield player and I thought: ‘I’m not as good as this lot, nowhere near.’ If you aren’t the most talented player in the world, you have to sprint to keep up. You have to make sacrifices. When I left school at 16, I made the conscious decision that I would cut myself off from all of my mates. It sounds brutal, and it was selfish, but I knew that they would be doing all sorts of teenage things that I couldn’t get involved with, even if that was just having a few drinks. I’ll always remember my dad telling me: ‘You’ve got two years to give it a real go. Never look back and wish you’d done more.’”
People don’t like Neville, some United fans included, but to pass comment on his personality is not for me to do. But for all the criticism he gets for his behaviour on the pitch, it arises from jealousy. What Arsenal fans would give to have a captain who instead of dreaming of rejoining his first love, Barcelona, felt like Arsenal was the peak of his career. What Chelsea fans would give to have a captain who didn’t shag his team mates bird’s and have “sleepless nights” over Manchester City’s wages. What Liverpool fans would give to have a captain who didn’t hand in transfer requests just after winning the European Cup. What City fans would give for a captain who could speak English!
When I saw Neville jump off the bench and sprint towards the City fans after that late Michael Owen winner, just after City had got a 90th minute equaliser themselves, I was filled with jealousy and pride. Jealousy because I’d love to be there, doing that, but pride because he was our captain behaving like a possessed fan. Jake “4-3 mate” Clarke behaved in exactly the same way that day, lost in the moment as we all were (and I, like many, had the bruises on my shins from over zealous celebrations for weeks to prove it) and I loved it. I loved having a captain who felt that way about our team.
Neville was warned by the FA for that celebration but even Harry Redknapp, an outsider looking in, could see how ridiculous that was.
“That’s why United are where they are,” he said. “They are a team and they are all together. Gary Neville has won everything there is to win but you look at the excitement he showed at his team winning, when he wasn’t even in the team. He wasn’t sitting on the bench with his arms folded. He was jumping higher than Fergie. When we played United at White Hart Lane the week before, my coaches, Tim Sherwood and Les Ferdinand, were in the stands along with the United boys who weren’t subs. They were jumping up and down at every decision and again when they scored their goals. That winning mentality goes right through the club. Gibson and all the other boys wanted to play but they also have those feelings that they showed. There are not many clubs where you get that. It’s something you’d like to develop. It’s hard to change some people but that’s what makes winning teams. I thought it was amazing to see Neville’s feelings show and the joy he had at winning.”
People say that Neville is the last in a dying breed of this type of footballer. I’d like to think that isn’t necessarily the case at United. Neville will stay at the club as a coach for the rest of the season and after that, who knows? Is there a job for him with the Reserves? You’d like to think that the likes of Neville and Giggs will stick around and pass down these qualities to the next generation. It will be diluted but it won’t be extinct.
“I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I’ve ever had,” he said when announcing his retirement. “I am looking forward to new experiences and the club will always be a part of my life going forward however the most important thing now is for the club to continue with the success that is synonymous with Manchester United and I will be supporting them all the way, as a fan.”
Gary Neville is a red, he’s one of us.
Man Utd News 24/7
Great summary Scott!
I had a lump in my throat reading this.
Hopefully he will stay around and pass on this enthusiasm/love/devotion (call it what you will) to the up and coming youngsters. It seems to have sunk in already with Chris Smalling.
That’s why we’re United.
Good read.
2egend( Lol, it kind of works)
top, top post… great work, scott, as always. mentioned you on twitter
Since GNev has retired, I haven’t seen a bad word spoken by him about anyone except scouse idiots. What a fantastic example to set the younger players, players at other clubs, and football in general. Utter, undying loyaly to the club he loves.
His chat about cutting himself off from his mates is very insightful, and Ravel Morrison could do well to take note.
For me, this also hits home extra hard, as he is the first of the really successful fledglings to retire – it’s the end of an era for me. Nothing gold can stay.
http://www.fivecantonas.com/gary-neville-announces-immediate-retirement-from-football/
Damn straight.
The key to his success wasn’t this ‘talent’ and ‘showmanship’ that some teams want to have in their players. But just sheer determination. That will to stay at this club at all costs and not give up on anything.
He is a unique player; and I’d love to believe players like him exist, but I don’t see that anywhere anymore. It will die off with Giggs, Scholes and Neville in England; Totti in Italy and Xavi and Iniesta in Spain.
Loyal workers for a club are a dying breed. It’s usually only homegrown talent that stays. Luckily we have a few of them. Let’s hope they cement a future like Fergie’s fledglings did.
I was out with friends in Manchester ,we met Gary in a pub . He didnt know us from Addam,but he spent an hour we us having the crack . Great lad
this… made me cry
Great post scott, would love to see him join the coaching staff
Thank you Gary Neville! We are honoured and thrilled to count you as one of us.
What an absoulute legend. A United fanatic playing for United is just ideal
FUCK THIS ARTICLE IS MAKING MY EYES HAZY.
Thank you Gary. Thank you Scott
Ah shit. Words fail me
Gary Neville. Manchester United legend. What an honour to have you as our Captain, sir.
I love you man I love you Gary
This is just so..
In contrast to this, Look at what this SOB has to say..
http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/50013/I_wasnt_interested_in_speaking_to_other_clubs.aspx?
There can only be one Gary Neville (or for that matter Scholes and Giggs)
Money Grabbing whores the cunts…The Project (TM)…
@Scott The Red
Not intending to steal your thunder dude, but just came across this excellent article about GNev in, of all places, The Mirror. Wonderful article paying a fitting tribute to our hero.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/02/04/man-united-hero-gary-neville-proves-there-is-still-a-noble-side-to-the-beautiful-game-115875-22897211/
Good article that Saad. Befitting for a hero. A legend.
Good post. Keep it coming.
legend, in every sense of the word. the fact that everyone else in england hates him only solidifies his status.
I wouldn’t normally comment on a football site, being a mere girl, but have to say what a brilliant article this is. You just made me cry. What an absolute legend Nev has been and still is. He epitomises what United is all about. Forever a Red.
If I wasn’t in work right now I’d stand up and applaud at my computer screen. Fuck it, I’ll do it anyway!
seriously, i am actually crying right now. what a class this man is. a true legend. thanks for the article scott, great post.
thats a great article,if you combine the smalling article utd do spend alot of money on youngsters who are nurtured taught the utd way by great reds like g.nev.a loyalty and affection for the club is deveolped instead of spending 40mill on a rent boy who doesn’t give a fuck.
@Red Devil an appropriate article to include the absolute bad side of football.since the abu dhabi takeover of city in 2008 city have spent close to 400mill and new players coming in are still calling it a project, no closer now than when huges was in charge fucking hilarious.
I have veins coming out of my neck
What a servant of the club GNev has been. His loyalty and passion for Utd can only be macthed by Giggs, Scholes and the Gaffer!
Most consistent RB in the prem for 12 odd years, most consistent RB for England in a long long time. Great crossing ability. (any chance of Stats for assists compared with other RB’s of his time, Lauren, Dixon, Rob Jones, Stephen Wright….etc etc etc)
The guy provided so much more than just a consistency in his position. His fire and passion for Utd shines through probably more than any other player ive seen play for the club.
A Great Player. a true CLL!
Thank you Mr Neville!
Great article Scott, but you can’t compare RedNev and Rooney mate. Gary grew up supporting United. Rooney on the other hand, is an Everton supporter. None the less, super article.
I’ll miss you Gary Neville. This line says it all.
You can spend 30 quid on nothing these days, on absolute rubbish. Or you can get the buzz of your life out of watching United.
Some people will never understand why just watching a game is important than doing anything else. Last season @ Blackburn the game where we probably lost the title Gary Neville was brought down by a Rovers player(Don’t remember who it was) and without saying a word, he got up. Like a phoenix.Says volumes about guys sheer determination.
Quality post Scott.One of the best.
Great article STR…you are back to your imperious best. Red Nev….a true United hero and a fan….we will miss him
I sincerely admire Gary Nev for all his passion and loyalty, but when speaking about the latter, we should note its a two-sided process… And the second party is the club, repped by the manager. If the club owners are having fun sacking managers for breakfast, and as a result the next manager cant afford the luxury of being consistent with his players (especially with the youngsters, but not only), the situation could be different. Regular managers cant offer their players what Fergie offered Berbatov, or Nani, or even Ronaldo. Neither they could build the hierarchy that Nev, Giggsy and Scholes represent.
So my point is, you never know what would have happened with Gary, had we endured recurring changes at the helm and/or some other owner’s whims… And BTW, for me thats the reason why Sir Alex himself is so forgiving with the Glazers – he understands how important that current stability is!
Anyway, RedNev, you’re a true LEGEND!!!
Amazing article Scott… Had goosebumps all the way reading it. Just didn’t want it to end… And just to reiterate, yes, GNev is one of us, he is UNITED!!! We’ll miss you…
legend
Fantastic post Scott. How can any United fan NOT love Gaz?
Off topic but I see Kolarov has said “United will see our power next week” Oh do fuck off bitterman.
King Eric – As long as we don’t give any free kicks away, around the box, Kolarov can bang them.
@wayne
Cheers mate….
Goosebumps yet to go…and its been a few hours since I read this article….Gary Nev….I will really miss your passion mate….Passion is something I live by and this guy just had an endless supply of it…
Brilliant one Scott. It’s amazing how all of us think alike and you just express it perfectly in words.
Neville. Like i’ve mentioned a million times, the best thing a fan can get is a player who loves and supports the team as fanatically as you yourself do. All his actions and gestures over the years, i love it to bits. That’s exactly how we’re reacting in the stands or at home watching the game. We have 3 loyal legends in the club and i feel absolutely sad that one has retired already. He definitely has to stay, no doubt, i love it that we’re a massive club and i can’t imagine Nev doing anything un-United. It feels blessed to be able to believe a player entirely, cos everything that comes out of this man’s mouth is nothing but the truth.
Me thinks he would have felt like bashing Rooney up a few months ago.
First task for GNev after retirement: help Ravel Morrison sort out his personal life. That kid is a fist-sized diamond-in-the-rough!!! We CANNOT let this one fail.
@willie, King Eric
hello mates…
Kolarov can suck on some of Gary Nev’s balls…see his power indeed…
All hot air and talk…I bet they come with a 4-5-1 to OT….they may play 2 strikers, but Dzeko will be on the left and behind the half way line most of the time, trying to track back Nani…
This is a trully proffessional article, Scott. I am affected, really, if that`s the right english word.master piece. Thank you.
And good luck to GNev, I do believe he will be around pulling the strings from behind of the club
Someone compared Gaz with Totti, Xavi and Iniesta? Dude…
im at work, with tears in my eyes after reading this
When you spend your training time kicking each others butt its no surprise you’d be so good at taking ‘spot’ kicks. Dumb bloody bitter cunts fuck you
the best RB
True LEGEND
Great coverage Scott.
Sad even though this day was always coming. Best right back I’ve seen at the club, arguably best right back the leagues ever had. He was a menace going forward and difficult to get past. Leader on the pitch and off it, captained the team through some Legendary campaigns…
Think about it, imagine if we could sign a 20 year old Gary Neville right now, knowing full well the service we’ll receive for the next 15 odd years? Can’t put a price on that. Rafael is a genuinely great player in the making, and he’s shown that already, but if he can match HALF of what Red Nevs done for us we’d never forget him. THATS how much of an impact Neville’s had. MASSIVE.
Change of Guard. The RIght Back King is Gone…. Long Live the RIght Back King !!!!
Nev > Totti
Totti’s wife > RedNev
top totty > Rednev (sorry Nev)
@Paul Parker
In terms of Passion
RedNev> Totti
Scott-
First time commenting in article like this but really had to. Best piece of writing I’ve seen on RoM and I think everyone around would say superlatives like this carry weight. Thanks for all the hard work.
Bloody good read Scott….. I think you just about summed up what everyone is feeling when you wrote about him shouting and screaming when we beat the bitters 4-3.
As he will no longer have the badge on his shirt , I wouldn’t be surprised to see that when the shirt comes off that the badge is tattooed on his chest.
My personal favourite game of his was when he kicked the up and coming gooner lad (forget his name) all over the park enough to get Vieira and Keano going at it when we met next….
Reyes *
I wouldnt swap Nevilles last 15+ years for any player, no fucking way.
Would we have won those titles without our new generation Captain?
or would we have been so difficult to beat without him there?
What about his delivery? How many players could provide the same?
nah, players like the 1999 lot don’t come around too often.
@TonyBee – I remember when the Neville brothers double teamed Reyes all over the park. That was the one where we finished their unbeaten run wasn’t it?
Great post.
G.NEV Wallpaper
http://www.hdfootballwallpaper.com/gary_neville.html
bigphill03 – Reyes was broke that day lol. He left Arsenal the following season.
Cracking post.
All those who loved this article, should know where to click in appreciation.
In fact, one click per article is fair.
I hope all the jonny come latelys who have wrote complete drivel about Nev this season hang thier head in shame!
I argue my case every week at the ground when i hear people singing for Rooney when we have Nev, Giggs, and Scholes! These players are what make me love supporting my club, watching Nev celebrate with Edwin at Anfield when O’Shea scored the late winner…priceless
Thanking Nev would never be enough for what he has achieved with United
Thanks Scott. Those are exectly my feelings for my one and only TRUE love ( MAN UTD).
I did not read all the post coz my eyes turned very watery! I said it once here on R.O.M that I even suffered a heart attack because of United. People somtimes don’t believe me when I say that I prefere United winning trophies then me winning the national lottery,believe me.That is my happiness in my life, not the money, ( I’m only a civil servant)JUST VICTIOUS MANCHESTER UNITED !
Yes,Gary is one of us. Even here in Malta we concider him a Great part of our family ! We are already looking to organise a very big function in honour of this Great United player and a Great person !
We love you Gary!!!
willie – Yeah mate he has a good shot on him but only scored one I think hasn’t he? They have fuck all power mate, they are a laughing stock. Hhmm. Wonder if they will be showing the league table on the big screen tomorrow at wastelands?
Don’t wanna bore everyone but did anyone see the reserve game last night? King has become some player, Fabio was excellent in midfield and scored a belter but the real star was a 35 minute cameo from Ravel. What a fucking player we have here lads. Naturally gifted and runs rings round players. Stands out like a sore thumb. Sort his swede out and he can become a superstar. Also has an arrogance about him which I like.
giggs11gerrard0 – Hello pal. Hows tricks? Yeah mate we have an abudance of JCL’s on here although they only come on after a defeat. Fucking clueless mate.
King Eric – He’s scored a few this season.
Red Devil – Hello mate. You ok? Oh yeah of course they wil pack the midfield and like you say Dzeko or now I hear its Jecko will be played out of position and Vidic will kill the Judas.
King Eric – I am good mate, I will be even better with 19 come May!!!!!!! How are you mate, you ready for the bitters next week!
willie – two mate,.
Top Top Top Top Top Top Post…..
Made me feel cry… GN2, love him or hate him, he is a character….
I dont buy that he was any less talented… to be a first choice RB at a club like Manchester United makes him more talented than most of the RBs of his era….
hope he remains at club for future in any magnitude… just reading to his quote makes us so passionare about our club… then imagine how he will develope our young players by being youth coach…
giggs11gerrard0 – I most certainly am. I will be there next Saturday. Despite it been a HUGE game it still doesn;’t compare with the scousers for atmosphere although last season was pretty special wasn’t it mate! We should do those negative fuckers easily next week.
A couple then lol. He’s a threat mate. Our set pieces are lousy.
Just one word scott.MASTERPIECE.
One of the best articles in ROM.
As far as neville is concerned i will again say LEGEND.Seriously hope he manages our reserve or youth team.
What abot him being replacement for Scholsy .Check out this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy-5PzWzxYY&feature=player_embedded#
I really think he is well suited for our style of play.
O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red
Great Article Dedicated To a Great Man !!!
Sorry about this guys, I like Neville and i have commented as such on one or two of the threads and I’m not being revisionist here but as much as I laud for being a loyal servant to the club he did and does have the ability to sound like a right tit, not for nothing does red issue call him Fred Kite.
Anyway my real point is, he’s only retired ffs, with the amount of different blogs on here recently about him I thought the queen mum had died again.
“What City fans
would give for a captain who
could speak English!”
Can’t stop laughing!!
LEGEND! Nuff said
@all
an awesome interview with giggsy & RedNev( its not GNev by the way)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTP-XJ67N14&feature=player_embedded#
@real red devil
great prospect, but you never know how it goes in premiership and by the way you posted in the wrong thread..i guess no body would bother even to comment on that
one awesome line from RedNev…in the video i have posted
RNev: I think paul cant live with out me ….(laughs…)
Sir Alex on Gaz “He is an absolute legend at our club”
did the queen mum die again? we talk about that next week, ok?
Gary Neville is a RED. On reflection, GNev makes every united fan, man woman and child, just proud to
be associated with the club. Football is about beauty and grace, but it is also about crunch time tackles and wearing your badge with pride. Everyone knows you need the Rooneys and the Berbas and the Owens, but the truly educated football fan knows that it is the Nevs, the Scholes, and the Giggs and the Gibbos and the Morrisons that make a club great. Some would even say the tea lady!
Top post STR. Top post.
A monument to Nev.
I would like to propose a monument to Neville. It would be just a pair of well worn bronze football boots. Fans would be invited to rub them as the entered the grounds. Think it would be very moving and very appropriate.
@ancha
i know that mate but i just wanted everybody to have a look at him even if i posted it on the wrong thread.may be someone will say something!.Nobody has ever mentioned about him with any of the top clubs in the world when his side sits comfortably on top of the german league with valuable contributions from him.
Why dont we just promote him for sainthood
Yeah!
Great blog/read that was, I agree with everything that was written, hes an absolutely legend
at OT, I mentioned on another blog about him kicking Reyes into the South stand – very funny
that was.
It makes you proud to be a United supporter and all that means !!!!
Don’t get me wrong Willie, I think Neville has been a great servant, I just feel we are going a little over the top in the amount of blogs/threads about the guy, if anyone hadn’t followed UTD they think he was a saint already ffs.
Good luck Nev and thank you if only you’d kept your gob shut over the years I would have loved you more.
Should Gary continue to serve Manchester United in his glorious and humble way, it is
reasonable to consider that he may one day be knighted. Sir Gary Alexander Neville, or
Sir Alex II, or SA2, or StNev.
close to tears after reading this!
Absolutely brilliant article.. i actually teared while reading this… Gary neville is gonna be greatly missed..too bad i wasnt able to watch in his prime which that i was born 10 or 15 years earlier…
Mattbw – for near 20 years of great service and loyalty he deserves a month of daily threads at the least. Realise my friend it’s players like him that set us aside from the rest. He’s got qualities that no club can buy. Legend in the truest sense of the word i feel,
Basically repeating what lots of people have said: this is one of the best articles on here. Top stuff.
incredible read scott, well done
gary neville is, was, and forever will be a red….wish gary all the best in the future and hope to see him coaching in the club at some level in the near future
Gary and Sir Alex share a trade union. Matthew Norman considers Neville’s “bespoke brand of rebellion” and a global role as defender of the oppressed.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/8302084/Matthew-Norman-farewell-Gary-Neville-English-footballs-Lech-Walesa.html
Yeah of course he does mickjk, look G Nev has been great but if you think he deserves a month of this you go and fill your boots.
Gary Nevilles spot on when he says you can spend 30 quid on rubbish or you can spend 30 quid on seeing United play. Why people complain all the time about ticket prices astounds me. Fucking stop buying moisturiser and man bags. Stop getting Ralph Loren colour coded gloves and socks. Stop buying fekkin goat skin hush puppies and tartan fucking alice bands. You dont have to be a complete slob, or a plastic punk like Stuart Pearce but you can be somewhere where your not governed by the shite you buy.
Id rather spend 30 quid on a ticket than go to work with fucking clothes on. Get sacked or see United theres no bloody contest. If I couldnt put food on the table for the youngens then Id give them a feast for the eyes at OT. Who wants fat kids anyway. Gary Neville is a god because he realises that United comes first. It is the be all and end all and that grabbing a ridiculous wage, bettering your career with the fascists (which is a fukkin joke) or playing week in and week out in all games, is just wrong. The Neviller has to get a coaching role as I hope Scholes and Giggs does. We need those three at OT for life.
Watch the quick sand if you do lol. Some of the comments have been OTT, close to tears, he’s not dead ffs! I do however, think we should laud these guys, while they are still with us. Giggs and Scholes retring, will be a tough one to take, end of an ear, when that happens.
Ear-lobe time.
Alot of you close to tears. FUCK OFF. I feel proud and Im a Neville follower but CRYING. Dont be fukkin gay. Thats everything Gary isn’t. Boo Hoo I lov him lick lick, oooh if only Princess Di was here, OH BELT UP!!
CRYING, LOL.
S.O.B!
Goat – You’ll bring the do gooders out mate lol.
I hope so, bloody do gooding bean flickers and pillow biters can do with feeling the wrath of the goat. Going to eat my pizza now and flush the missus’ head down the toilet because she got me the wrong topping. Back in 5.
will forget u never….our hero…
Top player amongst everything else, going to be a real shame if he’s no longer in the dressing room.
Fuck off Goat, I’m now ordering a pizza. Munch head on.
matbw – Hello pal. Yeah but Red Issue have a tendancy to slag a few United players off. Isn’t the Fred Kite thing because of his tache?
Damn I get the chills reading this… great writing Scott!
Great post.
I hope the RoM readers who have been shitting on GNev in the comments section all season will reflect on what they’ve said. Loyalty runs both ways.
I am speechless after reading this article. For me, the best one ever, not just on this side but in the history of the Internet. Perfect, Scott the Red !!!!!!
A Liverpool fan’s views on Neville:
http://leftbackinthechangingroom.blogspot.com/2011/02/assessing-gary-neville.html
Genuinely have the utmost of respect for him even if, well, there are personality clashes!
Legend
Awesome Scott, just awesome. Thanx.
Jaysus, i should read more, before i fire of my Gob.I wish I could write like that. The Article.
Brilliant.
Hear Hear Scott. Brilliant Article.
King Eric
I’m fine mate..thanks….
As for the judas cunt, we dont need Vida….Young Rafael has got all the makings of the new Red Nev…he’ll sort out the cunt faced troll by himself..
Goosebumps. Top draw Scott.
Brilliant Scot, simply brilliant, I know this sounds bit gay, but I’m almost crying, he is one of us and he’ll always be one of us, Red Nev, you’re a true legend and you’ll always have special place in my heart.
i cant imagine any United fan who doesnt love Gary..
Brilliant summary, Scott, you did the boy proud!
@mattbw: dude ,this man is a legend, as Scotts article aludes to. So fans are paying tribute,let it be,he deserves it.
@ STR; Good article.
Guys thanks for the links.
Nice one Scott, it is almost overtaking the tribute to Red Nev. Thank you for the nice article
http://flagisup.blogspot.com/2011/02/g-neville-retires.html
a true legend of the game, no doubt the real captain fantastic
Gaz nev is a FUCKING LEGEND! He is a RED most importantly just like every1 of us! He breathes MUFC! Its in his blood! What a lad! Just wish he wouldn’t have acceoted that bloody coaching job with the fa and england and coached our young lads instead.
