Interesting article on the OS about Phil Neville:

He has had many detractors over the years but he's been Moyes' best signing by miles.
When Neville retires, I think it will really be appreciated what an inspirational captain he has been.
DM transformed him from an angry, in-your-face (when on the ground writhing after one of his late tackles) journeyman at Manc Utd, to a mature, up-an-at-'em leader who has consistently led the side to victory.
If he's not been the first name on the team sheet over the last few years, I'd be amazed. Let's hope he continues for a few more seasons yet.

Always under rated at United and Everton. His ability to play in all positions in the back four and in midfield never helped him.
Future Everton manager? I would think so.

He is just a good professional - nothing more, nothing less

You ever post on your own boards?
Come on mate, come out the closet. You know you're Blue on the inside.

Not a good pro, a great pro. You dont stay at United for so long being a bad player. How many positions did he perform in at the best club in England?
He took a gamble coming here and has imroved to another level because of his added resposibility. One of very few returning players to get a standing ovation at OT as an opposition captain.....Legend!

Always good to read the corporate point of view.
I always thought that Phil was the better of the two bros, but who am I to judge?
