Gary Alexander Neville

Gary Alexander Neville (born February 18, 1975 in Bury, Lancashire) is an English footballer who is England's most capped right full back, and also Manchester United's club captain. Gary started off his career at Old Trafford as a central defender. He was later converted into a full back because it was felt he may have been too short to play centrally.

Gary is from a sporting family; his younger brother Philip Neville is also a footballer and their sister Tracey Neville has represented England at netball. Gary was also a talented cricketer in his teens; he played for the Bolton Cricket League and his biggest achievement was his partnership with Matthew Hayden when he scored 109 in 1992.

Gary and Phil Neville were team-mates at both club and international level all their careers until Phil joined Everton in 2005. Indeed, they play the same position and therefore often found themselves as rivals for a place in the Manchester United side, emerging together as part of Alex Ferguson's phenomenal youth oriented fledgling side of the 1990s (nicknamed Fergie's Fledglings; an updated take on the 1950s equivalent, the Busby Babes) that included Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes. Their father has the rather unusual name of Neville Neville and this gave rise to a popular chant among the Manchester United supporters to the tune of David Bowie's song, Rebel Rebel.
