There's something about how people talk about Gary Neville that I want to discuss...

Most of the fans who spend time on social media weren’t old enough to watch him play. Neville was an excellent player; extremely consistent, almost always fit knew the standards. Absolutely in with a shout for best RB in PL history

It infuriates me how he lets players that were nowhere near as good as him (Carragher and Richards) disrespect him. I always find myself screaming at the screen "Why Gary, WHY?! You know you were a great player.'' He was so much better than the two clowns and it's not even close, and they know it. They're just taking advantage of his humility to disrespect him. Thank God for Keano. I loved seeing him put Richards back in his place. As always, great video Sam. These videos keep getting better and better. UPTV is the best United channel by miles.

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.

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

Neville always downplayed his ability, yet he was one of our best. Great production again Sam, keep up your excellent efforts

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.

Neville was a good player who fitted perfectly into the United teams and how they like to play. He was a very IMPORTANT cog in the Ferguson system. As for the pundits, let them laugh, their trophy cabinets would need extensions to fit Gary's awards in. Gary did his talking on the pitch

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.

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 !!

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!

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.

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.

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 !

Thank U, Mr. Gary Neville for showing us that we don't need to be egotistical maniacs to be successful.

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.

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.

Good man Sam. Sick of telling people that he was a good player. I wish hed stop downplaying his career.

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

As a Chelsea fan who grew up watching and strongly disliking Gary Neville, I couldn’t agree with you more and I’m so happy someone has finally made this video. Gary Neville was phenomenal. If he was Italian, French, Spanish, German or Brazilian then modern day fans would rave about him like crazy.

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.

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

And now his intelligence shows after his career in him building his business empire and one of the biggest KZfaq football shows, while alot of the older generations footballers struggled to move on

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 🙌🔥

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

Amazing content again... Blessed to be a part of your community. 👍

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.

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'.

What are an accurate description. Sam, you make me proud 🎉❤

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!

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.

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.

He was a class act

One of your best videos yet lad we'll done

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!

Fair play Sam , great video and needed to be said . Gary is a person who should be admired

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...

Absolutely loving these videos, More content about United like this makes you stand out!

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.

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.

Long overdue! Well said!

Thank you for this Sam...I never underestimated Gary. Bt u showed him for what he really was and I learnt something

Absolutely brilliant video and tribute to one of the best RBs ever!! Top marks 👏 👏

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.

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

Thank you and hope you do more of these to show how each of our legends were when compared to today’s players

Great video Sam, its really well put together. I am so glad you have done this because he definitely is massively underrated, appreciated and respected for what he was and has done in football. He is still such a pro though, able to take criticism from any angle being well aware of how many hearts he has crushed with his success and how far superior his record is in comparison to near all of his now colleagues. Anybody that questions these facts is unaware and has hopefully been educated by this video. GARY NEVILLE IS A RED!!!

Gary Neville the Irreplaceable Right FullBack: Setting the Records Straight by Sam. I'll gladly do the Forward for you please

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.

Thanks for putting this together Sam. It's been needed for a while.

Brilliant Sam. I remember seeing his debut for United and thinking he looked at home playing at that level. Good to be reminded of his achievements

"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....

Jesus Christ, Carragher's annoying!

Been saying exactly this for a while now. Nice to see it articulated very well. Great video.

This is such a good video. No one has been able to put it like this. It’s criminal how underrated he is

Mica Richards is a nice bloke and he was a good full back, but he's not on the telly because of any particular insight. He's there because of box ticking - and most people are too scared to say it. Why be scared of telling the truth?

Højlund is fit W

Absolutely golden!! Another banger Sam! You're definitely setting yourself apart from your competitors. This was so good bro

I'm 61. Having supported followed and watched United for all those years through the Fergie era GN would be the first name on my teamsheet !!! Legend of the game in so many ways !!! ❤❤❤

Love this video. Spot on aswel. So underrated in the spectrum of todays rbs

Lovely video, youte nailing it with these commnetary type video's

Very well said.. I actually like how humble he is about how good he was.. self praise is no praise and alot of people should take note.. he's the one who is laughing like you said.. and that's all that matters

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.

Loved this vid. Neville was an amazing player and idk how he isn't being recognized as one.

Really underrated player, can't think of a time i've agreed more on a football video 🤝🏻

Gary has the adoration and respect from his peers. Shows his character. He is confident of this ability - not just achievement in the game, but also current achievements. Look at him now. His business and media portfolio is impressive. Btw great video. Thanks for reminding all of us (and future football fans) of his greatness.

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!

Spot on - It grates me the way people talk about this legend, Put some respect on is name - well earned and thoroughly deserves plaudits for his career AND ability

What a great video Well said and put together Neville is indeed overlooked & underrated I myself as a united fan of over 30 years could not of put this better!

Great video. I’d like to see a video like this on Rooney, who has also become very under-appreciated. Stat merchants nowadays who never watched these players can’t appreciate their brilliance. As mentioned in the video, the way that players who have played with and against Neville talk about him should say everything that anyone needs to know about how good he was. I’ve never seen Rio or even Roy Keane defend anyone like they’ve defended Neville. They’d know better than anyone, after all. What people struggle to understand is that fullbacks didn’t require the same things back then as they do today. Dribbling past multiple players, constantly whipping in crosses, 15+ assists per season, etc. Neville was very good going forward, it just wasn’t often required of him.

I always admired the neville brothers when I was young. A true Legend and the best rb I've seen in a Man Utd shirt.

Great video literally having this discussion the other day then came across video 👍

100% Truth!! Neville was an absolute rock for United, understated, not flashy, utter workhorse and allowed the players around him shine because he did all of the groundwork for them to be able to go forward.

He was my favourite player when I was just 13-14, never showboaty, always wore his heart on his sleeves, played for the badge, he was the reason i loved united, him and rooney. Not the beckhams or ronaldos.

Really great video, sir! A justice for Gary and the club. I hope you’re recovering well brother

Great video and echoes my feelings precisely. It genuinely annoys me that other players feel so confident in dismissing Neville and worse that Gary allows it to happen. The best right back I've seen at United in my 40 years watching them, would get in my all time 11 and one of the top 5 full backs in Premier League history easily. A great, great player.

Great video mate and well said an absolute quality player and right back. It's today's new Era fans that demise his phenomenal career. They don't make them like they use too

I think Gary should have a watch of this...... Best right-back of a generation. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Great video mate... and much needed!

Great vid Sam! Absolute quality!

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.

Really enjoyed the video Sam, thank you!

Great video, well done for giving Gary Neville the flowers he so rightly deserves.

As a liverpool fan, I can completely agree with everything stated in this video. Fantastic fullback.

I did not really know at his time why he was so highly valued. I only remember his cross vs. milan. But yes, all of what you said was true. I myself used to swap him on pes 2007 straight away because he was very slow in it. But he will remain a legend and our captain.

I really hope he watches this. ❤ I forgot how good his crosses were, was always pinging bangers. Absolute legend of the game, deserves a lot more praise.

He was an absolute beast , I grew up watching him and you never worried about our backline, they where allways dominant.

Absolutely correct it’s like you listen to a conversation I have have all the time 😂

I couldn't agree more, best ever right back 👌🔥🔥🔥

An absolutely brilliant, well-thought out video. Props to UPTV and the man himself, Gary Neville.

One of the most underrated players of our generation

Says a lot that Sir Alex never tried to/was able to find anybody better 🤘 G Nev was world class.

we should get united to share this video and label it as "Gary appreciation post"

i didn’t really get to watch him, as i got into football super late but from the games i have seen of him he’s absolutely class in my opinion. mainstay in a great united team for years says a lot. proper one club man as well. demeaning himself on sky sports doesn’t help him much i sometimes wish he was less humble.

Awesome and eye opening video. I'll admit I was one who disrespected him too because everyone else was doing it. But your points are 100% true. He wouldn't have survived that long in United if he wasn't that good

A legend, a multiple award winner, a favourite of me then, a favourite as a presenter now ❤

Having just watched today's Overlap, i think Gary saw your video. Good job lad

Thank you for this video. People need to see indeed how good he was and not just bash him.... he has more trophies than most of these washed up ex players wanna be pundits.

Great video Sam, the lad was a class act sometimes i wonder where we'd of been without him.
