| An England international right-back, who made his debut against Japan in the 1995 Umbro Cup, Gary Neville is a product of United's prolific youth team. Bury-born Gary, who's brother Philip is also in the first team squad, captained the club's 1992 FA Youth Cup-winning side. Gary comes from a sporting family, his sister Tracey being an English netball international. Gary made his debut, aged 17, as a substitute in UEFA cup tie v Torpedo Moscow in September 1992, managing to solve United's right back problem after injury to Paul Parker and a loss of form from David May. Gary also possesses a phenomenal long throw which he uses to great success to get United's attacks moving and set up United's equaliser in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.
Gary lost his regular Manchester United place to his brother in 1995-96 but still had an exceptional season filling in anywhere in United's defence. He now has a Premiership medal and a FA Cup winners medal in his possession and a brilliant future ahead.
