Gary Neville's best ever pass (ruined by Phil Neville)

Great first time cross field pass by one Neville miscontrolled by the other. Taken from Liverpool vs Manchester United, 19th April 1997.

If Phil was 6'5, he could have chested it.

Should get Neville and Carragher to debate this on MNF

If you think that is Neville's best pass, then surely you have never seen him play in Prime united. He was a work-horse delivering clever crosses.

Phil Neville, every time he came on and played for England you knew we were finished.

"Any ball that you have to run backwards for is a poor pass" - Every coach I've ever had

Enough time and enough space, this sums up Phillip in a nutshell!!

When your mom tells you to bring you little brother to play football with your friends

[griffytok]

The pace of English football at that time ❤

generally speaking, it's preferable not to pass at head height unless it's a cross....

[solshields]

It was a good pass ruined by Phil's poor agility. If Phil didn't grow up in Man U academy he would have been a lower league player. Shows how far hard work can get you that he actually turned into a technically decent player at Everton when he was technically so poor at man u

haha that was not a good pass though, looked cool but needed to be lower.

[AvailableHandle]

His best ever pass was uncontrollable by its recipient - is that a good pass?

It still amazes me to this day that Phil Neville was not only a Man Utd player but he also played for England.

[christopherreynolds]

This Liverpool Man Utd ping-pong match I recall fondly!

[dreed]

To be fair, he did have some great passes. Whoever labeled this his best pass is just happy we all watched it

I’ll never understand Phil Neville. Never liked seeing him in the starting 11, can’t forget that penalty he gave away against Romania lol

[TheAmazingHoho]

Best example of old English football ever

[denver]

Pep really made this hoofball league a bit serious lol. The quality of football is absolutely atrocious

[Chris-vitg]

beautiful pass!!
only misjudged the height of his brother, a very common mistake :)

Neville was a brilliant crosser and if playing for a different manager and didn't have Beckham and Ronaldo in front of him would of got more assists. Great player, leader of the class of 92 and first in the England team and first starter for Manchester United apart from obviously giggs
