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.
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.
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
anyone can see his performance against vasco da gama and judge about that
Yeah, judging him on one game over a very long career at the highest level. What a smart thing to do. @whiteguardist
hahahahahahahaha
@@whiteguardist
Why not judge him on his champions league final performance if your going by one game?
To quote keane 'You were our only right back we were stuck with you'.
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
More like extremely lucky… he is like that one colleague who is in the company because they are the owners kid…
@@warrioroffpeace3673stfu, he was incredible
@@warrioroffpeace3673name one other player who “gets away with it”? No one take off the hate, grow up a bit, maybe watch some actual football.
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.
I just think he lets the trophies and the winner's medals speak for themselves... Pointless arguing with idiots
@@hashtag_thisguy You're right but he lets their disrespect go too far sometimes.
It's like the quiet tough guy in the boozer, he doesn't need to sound his own horn
They all know the truth. It's why it's funny when they take the piss.
Richards was the one that real bugged me, like the audacity the guy who no one knows was even a player before he started talking about it as pundit
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
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
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
You couldnt have said it better !!!
Completely agree and that "Gary did his talking on the pitch". Well, I just wished he'd kept it that way and now kept his ridiculous political opions too himself.
Stick to football Gary, you know what you've talking about there -whereas you know nothing about politics.
@@sunnyjim1355 Whereas you _do_ know what you're talking about, yeah?
@@sunnyjim1355 Bollocks. Gary's a fine human being and an even better footballer
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.
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
His stand out attribute was his effort, always 100%
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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 🤣🤣🤣
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
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 👏🤩
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 !
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
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.
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
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?
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 CZcams football shows, while alot of the older generations footballers struggled to move on
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!
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'.
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.
He was a class act
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.
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!
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 🙌🔥
One of your best videos yet lad we'll done
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.
Thank you for this Sam...I never underestimated Gary. Bt u showed him for what he really was and I learnt something
What are an accurate description. Sam, you make me proud 🎉❤
Fair play Sam , great video and needed to be said . Gary is a person who should be admired
Absolutely loving these videos, More content about United like this makes you stand out!
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...
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.
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.
Absolutely brilliant video and tribute to one of the best RBs ever!! Top marks 👏 👏
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!!!
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
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.
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
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
Long overdue! Well said!
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 is such a good video. No one has been able to put it like this. It’s criminal how underrated he is
Thank you and hope you do more of these to show how each of our legends were when compared to today’s players
Gary Neville the Irreplaceable Right FullBack: Setting the Records Straight by Sam. I'll gladly do the Forward for you please
"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.
Been saying exactly this for a while now. Nice to see it articulated very well. Great video.
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.
Jesus Christ, Carragher's annoying!
Højlund is fit W
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!
Thanks for putting this together Sam. It's been needed for a while.
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?
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.
Lovely video, youte nailing it with these commnetary type video's
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
Love this video. Spot on aswel. So underrated in the spectrum of todays rbs
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 !!! ❤❤❤
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.
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.
Absolutely golden!! Another banger Sam! You're definitely setting yourself apart from your competitors. This was so good bro
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.
Always thought of him as a substandard 2nd class player and whenever i used man utd in fifa 07-12, i never ever thought highly of him. This video has completely changed my image of him. Very well said.
Loved this vid. Neville was an amazing player and idk how he isn't being recognized as one.
I think Gary should have a watch of this...... Best right-back of a generation.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
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.
He was an absolute beast , I grew up watching him and you never worried about our backline, they where allways dominant.
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 literally having this discussion the other day then came across video
👍
Video is 2 months old now but I just stumbled across it 😂 really enjoyed this. When I’m ever asked about the best premier league team ever Gary is always picked at right back for me. Brilliant loyal player. Hated watching him as a kid being a Liverpool fan. But the man was class
Really great video, sir! A justice for Gary and the club. I hope you’re recovering well brother
Really enjoyed the video Sam, thank you!
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
Not watched any of your vids before but this was a topic that needs more air! It's difficult to describe how much better Neville was when he emerged - remember Terry Venables had him in his England team from the age of 19. Micah Richards was also a failed CB - and was jettisoned from City and England as soon as a better option arrived. Ruthless Fergie did not even look for another option until G-Nev was past 30. The first footballing RB i saw play for England - he and Pearce offered VERY similar qualities - they both could actually play.
Love this video thanks for creating it :)
I couldn't agree more, best ever right back 👌🔥🔥🔥
Great video mate... and much needed!
Really underrated player, can't think of a time i've agreed more on a football video 🤝🏻
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 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.
You always outdo yourself.. this is an awesome piece
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!
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.
Great video, well done for giving Gary Neville the flowers he so rightly deserves.
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.
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 vid Sam! Absolute quality!
As a liverpool fan, I can completely agree with everything stated in this video.
Fantastic fullback.
An absolutely brilliant presentation!!! Thats how to shut people up. Nothing more to say!
I am so glad you have pulled this together!! Top class 💪… Then people say he couldn’t play today…. Ridiculous… Johnny Evans is still playing… And the recency is bias is crazy…
we should get united to share this video and label it as "Gary appreciation post"
Well said. I’m a Newcastle fan and I totally agree with you.
