About the Author
Gary Neville was born on 18 February 1975 and became one of the most decorated footballers in the history of the game with Manchester United. He was captain of the United team that won the FA Youth Cup in 1992, and after making his first-team debut that autumn he went on to make 602 appearances for the club.
He won the Premier League eight times (skippering the Red Devils to their victories in 2007, 2008 and 2009), the FA Cup three times, the League Cup twice and the Champions League in 1999 to complete a remarkable set of medals. He also won 85 caps for England – a record for a right-back – and appeared in two World Cups and three European Championships for his country.
