I think the only reason why SAF kept him around was because of his loyalty to the club. Of course he's won trophies with the club but theres not much to talk about in terms of individual performance.

@TAZ, are you out of your mind? Individual performance?? What do you understand by the best English rightback of his generation, and one of the best in the world in his generation? Hata kama you dont like United, respect tafadhali.

TAZ, Gary was a true united legend!!!
“He turned into a remarkable player and never let United or England down. I am immensely proud of him and have the utmost respect for what he achieved.” After leading United’s ’92 boys to FA Youth Cup glory, Red Nev was quickly fast-tracked for a taste of first team action when he made his senior debut against Torpedo Moscow in September of 1992 at Old Trafford in the UEFA Cup.

Apart from Giggs, he’d beaten all of the more illustrious prodigies from his year group into Fergie’s first team.

The major breakthrough came when the ‘94 Dream Team regular No 2 Paul Parker began suffering from injuries. He edged the senior pro out of the picture in 1995-96 season and no challenger was ever able to seriously destabilise his role in Fergie’s XI for a dozen years.

Neville even took Parker’s England No 2 berth from him and became the country’s first -choice right back for Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren.

During his hey days Neville was up there with the rest...towards the twilight years "Bedford" was a red card and/or penalty waiting to happen. He has served us well.

Fergie's 1st business of the day in the summer is to buy a well established right back so that we have cover for Rafael who will assume with mantle with verve - O'shea is a jumbling mess as evidenced in the Villa game. He should also give more game time to Fabio e.g. when a game is comfortable or when playing weak opposition in the FA cup.

If our defense remains fit, I believe that is what will win Man Utd the title it would /should have won last season had Vidic and Rio not missed as many games as they did.

The Kop look like they'll not miss Torres after all with Suarez scoring on his debut but the real test will be at the Bridge, a game I'll be happy to see Chelsea draw and be 12 points adrift if we win.

I dare say that the two games Man Utd play against Chelsea could determine if Arsenal are right up there at the end, seeing as they're only 5 points adrift. It was nice to see City drop points yesterday.

I think Chelsea will pip Spurs to the 4th place, perhaps even dislodge Man City.

As things stand, this is how I think it might end:

1. Man Utd - My bias is obvious
2. Arsenal - beat them by 2 points
3. Chelsea - A point adrift of Arsenal
4. Man City - One point adrift or goal difference
5. Spurs/Liverpool - Yes, I think a resurgent Liverpool will upset a stretched Spurs, but if they exit CL early,it's all to play for.

My assumptions are based on pedigree and not the remaining fixtures

@TAZ, dont hate the player...True Legend. His partnership on the right with Beckham was simply oustanding. First of Fergie Fledglings to retire. Shows you how good these players were.

Sir Ryan is like a fine wine, getting better with age...his performances in the Blackpool and Villa games belied his age, Scholes was similarly exceptional at the beginning of the season till the injury...it is amazing that there's actually been no pressing need to get a new signing in the Jan window

The only words i can use to describe Gary is Loyal, motivated, determined and hard-working....typical English player. He somehow reminded me of AC Milan Gatusso, very effective in physical encounters.

@Taz, that's when you realise that it doesnt matter what you think. He's a legend. Just like scholes, keane, cantona, giggs, solskjaer.
the last legend you guys produced was henry...after that we'll have to wait for x number of years before arsenal produces another. At United, we keep on minting them.

I think almost all EPL clubs have legends, for Arsenal we had Tony Adams, Ian Wright, Dennis Bergkamp, Lee Dixon, Ray Parlour, Winterburn, Seaman, Viera...i can name so many but that's besides the point, Solskjaer, Keane and Cantona were great players but Gary just had different qualities. I felt the same way about the brother too.
