Hanging the boots!

 Liverpool defender Alan Hansen said “Right colour, wrong city." He was talking about the the best left-back England has ever seen- Gary Neville. Gary Neville played a huge part in Manchester United's chase for silverware. The driving force, the momentum, the glory, the bragging rights, the inspiration that Gary Neville brought to the red devils will be missed by the fans and players alike. He makes the haters wanting to sign him to their respective clubs such is the talent of Gary Neville. Leaving the club with such an impressive winning streak will definitely make the world of football  miss him that much more.


He’d led United’s golden generation to FA Youth Cup glory and became the successor to Paul Parker’s number two shirt. Now, nearly 19 years later and after winning eight Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two League Cups, the Intercontinental Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the Champions League Gary Neville has hang his boots.
 Leaving the club in mid-season is a surprising decision but the ex-skipper has his mind made up. According to Neville, injuries is the main reason behind his departure from the theater of dreams. Not being able to play the way he did 20 years ago, succumbing to injuries, and his left knee flare up played a big part in his desicion. The Man utd ace says he is does not want to be a 'passenger' in the united team as he felt like he could no longer contribute to the team the way he used to. However, "G-Nev" is certainly not leaving with empty pocket as his winning streak through out his career bagged him with a huge load of medals and cups (most lifted with an armband no less) and with his name forever sealed with the "One of the Greatest club in the world". He will forever be remembered in the World of football as the greatest left-back in England.
