Club captain and a red through-and-through. Popular with scousers too...
Does anyone embody the spirit of Manchester United better than ‘Red Nev’?
The fans’ favourite at Old Trafford – the Bury-born defender grew up a United supporter – Neville has clocked up more than 500 appearances for the Reds. A one-club man, he came through the youth ranks alongside brother Phil and best mate David Beckham.
His tenacious performances at right back have made him first choice for club and country for more than a decade, and he was handed the captaincy following Roy Keane’s departure in 2005-06. The 2008-09 campaign is a crucial one as he comes back from long-term injury.
