| History |
| After playing football for Bury Schools and Greater Manchester Schoolboys, Phil Neville joined Manchester United as a trainee on 5th July 1993. However, he could have chosen a different career if he had not been signed by Manchester United. He was regarded as an outstanding talent at cricket and could well have reached county level.
Less than twelve months after he had signed as a trainee he turned professional. His League debut was a real baptism of fire, a Manchester derby at Maine Road in February 1995. Phil has gone on to make almost 150 senior appearances for United, and played his part in the team's remarkable achievements in the 1998/99 season. Denis Irwin's suspension from the FA Cup final against Newcastle gave Phil his opportunity at left back. During his time at Old Trafford, Phil has won three League Championship medals, two FA Cup medals and a Champions League winners' medal, as well as captaining the Youth team to the FA Youth Cup in 1995. His performances have caught the eye of England's managers and he has been a regular member of the international squad, with the heartbreaking exception of Glenn Hoddle's 22-man party for France '98. A classy defender, Phil's skills earned him a place in Alex Ferguson's 'Team of the Decade' when he selected a United side for a special video. Did You Know? Phil Neville is the youngest United player to win the League and FA Cup Double. Phil once played for England Under-15s at cricket and football in the same week. |
