UnitedTrainee77+4An England international right-back, who made his
debut against Japan in the 1995 Umbro Cup, Gary Neville is a product
of United's prolific youth team.
Bury-born Gary, who's brother Philip is also in the first
team squad, captained the club's 1992 FA Youth Cup-winning side. Gary
comes from a sporting family, his sister Tracey being an English
netball international.
Gary made his debut, aged 17, as a substitute in UEFA cup
tie v Torpedo Moscow in September 1992, managing to solve United's
right back problem after injury to Paul Parker and a loss of form
from David May.
Gary also possesses a phenomenal long throw which he uses
to great success to get United's attacks moving and set up United's
equaliser in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.
Gary lost his regular Manchester United place to his
brother in 1995-96 but still had an exceptional season filling in
anywhere in United's defence.
Gary has now won over 20 caps for England, and he won his
battle with his brother to be first choice right-back for both club
and country.
He scored his first ever United goal against Middlesbrough
in the Premiership towards the end of the 96/97 season, and that goal
effectively won the Championship for United.
He now has a two Premiership medals and a FA Cup winners
medal in his possession and a brilliant future ahead.
