yup, he support play and crossing was brilliant, was difficult to beat, guess its just the "cool" thing to say

Only thing I'd say about Neville is that his skill set was limited. Unable to beat players etc, no skill or real pace. . But that's not a criticism the rest of his game was good and he was the definition of solid.

how dare you his piece of skill against on the touchline at anfield before crossing and flappy james dropping the ball was magical

Wouldn't beat a man with pace or trickery no, but the timing of his runs and knowing when to overlap was spot on, obviously his partnership/understanding with Beckham being a big part of that. Often found himself in space due to his footballing brain, failing that he'd just cross it from deep with great accuracy.

Yes, in 2019 he would be regarded as limited as that position has changed.

But in his day, he was a fantastic right back.
