Club career

Manchester United

edit

Born inBury, Greater Manchester,Neville attendedElton High School,where he captained the football team for five years.[5]Along with brotherGary,he joined theManchester United Academy,signing associate schoolboy forms in September 1990. In the 1992–93 season, he played 23 times for the club's junior teams, including four times in the FA Youth Cup as the club attempted to defend the title Gary Neville had won the previous season; Neville appeared alongside his brother in the second leg of the 1993 Youth Cup final, but they were unable to overturn a 2–0 deficit from the first leg atOld Trafford,and Leeds won 4–1 on aggregate. In July 1993, Neville signed a trainee contract with the club, and in October that year he made his debut for the reserve team, coming on forDarren Fergusonin a 2–0 win over Everton inThe Central League.He went on to make eight appearances for the reserves in the 1993–94 season, as well as a further 31 for the junior teams, culminating in him winning theJimmy Murphy Player of the Year Awardin May 1994, followed by his first professional contract in June.

Neville made his senior debut for Manchester United on 28 January 1995 in a 5–2 win at home toWrexhamin the fourth round of the1994–95 FA Cup.[6]His league debut came two weeks later, when he started againstManchester Cityin theManchester derbyatMaine Road.He made one more first-team appearance in 1994–95, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 win at home toSheffield Wednesday.The following week, he captained United in both legs of the Youth Cup final againstTottenham Hotspur;after a 2–1 loss atWhite Hart Laneand a 1–0 win atOld Trafford,the tie came down to penalties; Neville missed his kick, but two misses from Spurs meant United won the shoot-out 4–3 to claim their second Youth Cup title in four seasons.[7]

Neville's graduation and eventual establishment in the first-team meant he became known as one of "Fergie's Fledglings".[8]On 19 August 1995, in the first game of the following season, he was substituted at half-time in a 3–1 loss atAston Villa;the match is remembered for punditAlan Hansen's "You can't win anything with kids" comment on Manchester United, who went on to win thedouble.[9]He did not play at left-back frequently due to the presence ofDenis Irwin;for some time he played at right-back while his brother played in central defence, and in the1996 FA Cup Finalvictory againstLiverpoolhe played this position while Gary was an unused substitute.[10]

While at Manchester United, he was booked many times, such as in the2002–03 seasonwhen he received 13 yellow cards, despite only starting 35 competitive games.[11]In September 2003, Neville received a warning fromThe Football Associationregarding his future conduct for his behaviour after Manchester United's game againstrivalsideArsenal.[12]

While atOld Trafford,Neville helped United win sixPremier Leaguetitles, threeFA Cupsand theUEFA Champions League.

Captaincy

edit

Neville's attitude,work rateand willingness to play anywhere saw him become one of manager David Moyes' favourites. On 8 August 2006, Neville was announced asvice-captaintoDavid Weir,and – on Weir's departure toRangersin January 2007 – he became the clubcaptain.[16]In the Manchester United–Everton match on 29 November 2006, Phil and his brother Gary became the first siblings to captain their respective clubs against each other in the Premier League.[17]

Neville commented in the press about the first everred cardsof his long career (he never received any playing for Manchester United), claiming that he would perhaps not have been booked in a game againstFulhamif he had been playing for United. However, he finished with more cards than any other Premier League player in 2005–06 (including another red soon after his first).[18]Neville scored his first goal for Everton in a 3–0 Premier League victory againstNewcastle Unitedon 30 December 2006.[19]

On 30 March 2008, Neville was assaulted by aLiverpoolfan as he took a throw-in during the 1–0Merseyside derbyPremier League defeat atAnfield.[20]On 24 April, the fan, 48-year-old Michael Blackmore, was later banned from all matches inEngland and Walesfor three years after admitting common assault.[21]

Later years and retirement

edit

On 19 April 2009, Neville scored his penalty to help knock out his former club, Manchester United, in a penalty shoot-out in thesemi-finalsof theFA Cup,he sent the keeper the wrong way, putting it low to the keeper's right.[22]On 19 February 2011, Neville scored the winning penalty in the penalty shoot-out againstChelseato knock them out of the FA Cup, after a 1–1 draw atStamford Bridge.[23]On 9 April 2011, Neville scored againstWolves,his 12th senior goal and his first in three years.[24]On 21 September, Neville scored in theLeague Cupgame againstWest Bromwich Albion,this time a clinical effort, which was the deciding goal in the game.[25]The goal was judged to be the Everton's goal of the season at the club's end of season awards.[26]

On 9 April 2013, he announced that he would leave Everton at the end of the season when his contract ended.[27]He subsequently announced his retirement from professional football.[28]

International career

edit

Neville was regularly picked forEnglandsquads, making his debut againstChinaon 23 May 1996.[29][30]He played alongside his brother in this match; they had appeared together in the1996 FA Cup Finaltwo weeks earlier and thus were the first pair of brothers to play together in an FA Cup-final winning side and for England in the same season sinceHubertandFrancis Heronin 1876, 120 years earlier.[31]

He was only briefly a regular first-choice player for the side, as a left-back in 2000 underKevin Keegan's management.[32][33]Under his successorSven-Göran Eriksson,Ashley Colewas the preferred left back, followed byWayne Bridge.[34]Neville once briefly captained the side in a friendly match (a game in which England fielded four different captains).[35]Despite having been in the England squad at the 1996, 2000 and 2004 European Championships, and having 59 Englandcaps(23 as a substitute), Neville was never in an EnglandWorld Cupsquad.[36]

Neville's England career included the honour of being the youngest member ofTerry Venables'squadforEuro 96,[37]though he never kicked a ball (his brother played in every match until the semi-finals). He was one of the players omitted at the last minute byGlenn Hoddlewhen he was selecting hisfinal 22for the1998 World Cup,Hoddle's decision left Neville in tears, though media attention was almost entirely devoted to the exclusion of another player,Paul Gascoigne.[38]Neville revealed in an interview that Gascoigne, not usually noted for his maturity, took the younger Neville brother under his wing and consoled him.[39]

Keegan played Neville at left-back inEuro 2000;Neville received criticism and a large proportion of blame for England's exit, when he committed a latefoulonViorel Moldovan,leading to a penalty forRomania,whichIonel Ganeascored to win the match.[40]

Neither of the Nevilles went to the2002 World Cup– Phil was left out of the23-man squad,while Gary was injured.[38][41]Both were back inthe squadforEuro 2004.[42]The brothers played together for England for the first time in seven years in a friendly against Spain on 7 February 2007, which England lost 1–0.[43]They hold the record number of England appearances by a pair of brothers (142) and the most starts in the same England team by two brothers (31).[44]

Phil Neville was not included inSven-Göran Eriksson'ssquadfor the2006 World Cupas Eriksson wanted to give young players a chance.[45]However, he was drafted into Eriksson's stand-by group of players afterNigel Reo-Cokerwithdrew through injury.[46]Neville remained in the England squad with new England managerSteve McClarenand started at right-back in September 2006 againstAndorra.[47]He was not called up after 2007.[citation needed]

Style of play

edit

Neville was primarily known for his work-rate and versatility as a footballer, and was capable of playing in several defensive and midfield positions; he was usually deployed as either a full-back orwing-back,and was capable of playing on the left side, as well as the right, despite being naturally right-footed; he was even able to play as acentral midfielder.Although he was not the most spectacular or offensive-minded defender, and was occasionally criticised by pundits for his lack of pace, as well as his limited passing ability and skill on the ball, he was known to be a consistent player from a defensive standpoint, who also stood out for his leadership qualities. However, he also drew criticism in the media for his uncompromising nature and tendency to pick up cards. In 2010, Varun Mathure ofBleacher Reportdescribed him as one of the most underrated players in the Premier League.[48][49][50]

The game set a new record attendance for an England women's match at 77,768.[81]The poor run continued into 2020 as England failed to defend their title at the2020 SheBelieves Cupin March. Losses to the United States andSpainmade it seven defeats in 11 games, the team's worst stretch since 2003, mounting further pressure on Neville who admitted he was personally responsible for England's "unacceptable" form amid increased media scrutiny.[82][83][84][85]On 22 April 2020, Neville announced he would be leaving his position as manager in July 2021 when his contract was due to expire.[86]AsEuro 2021,set to be hosted in England, was pushed back a year to 2022 in the wake of theCOVID-19 pandemic,Neville would no longer lead the team at the tournament.[87]Despite initially stating he would see out his contract, Neville stepped down as manager of England, and Team GB on 18 January 2021 amid speculation linking him to the vacantInter Miami CFjob.[88][89]

I was trying to be somebody I wasn't, and I knew I could do better than that".[107]

The BBC received further complaints for Neville's comments in January 2015, afterArsenal'sTomáš Rosickýplayed a pass while looking in another direction; Neville said that if he were playing against a player doing that in training, he would deliberately injure that player.
