Gary Neville Reveals the Two Players Who Could Leave Him in the Dust
It’s no secret that Gary Neville was an elite right-back during his time at Manchester United. With eight Premier League titles and numerous other accolades to his name, he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the history of the beautiful game.
But even the most skilled players have their weaknesses, and for Neville, it was speed. In his latest episode of Stick to Football, he revealed that there were only two players who could leave him in the dust, and they were both pacey wingers.
The Dynamic Duo
The first player to get the better of Neville was none other than Harry Kewell, the Australian speedster who started his career at Leeds United before moving to Liverpool. Kewell was known for his incredible speed and agility, and Neville acknowledges that he was a handful to deal with.
"Kewell, he was quick!" Neville exclaimed. "I’d give myself a yard, two yards, whatever I needed, but he was one of the few players who could get past me."
The second player to outpace Neville was Gabriel Agbonlahor, the former Aston Villa forward who made a name for himself with his blistering pace and goalscoring ability. Agbonlahor’s speed was a nightmare for defenders, and Neville recalls that he was always a threat to go past him.
A Clash of the Titans
Neville’s battles with Kewell and Agbonlahor were some of the most memorable moments of his career, and they’re a testament to the high level of competition in the Premier League during his playing days.
It’s a reminder that even the best players can be beaten, and that there’s always someone out there who’s looking to take them down. But Neville’s ability to adapt and overcome his weaknesses is a key part of what made him such a successful player.
