Gary Neville named greatest right-back

Post by Le King »

Gary Neville has scooped the number two shirt as we continue our quest to find the greatest Premier League XI.
From Eurosport.com


Next season will be the 20th in Premier League history and over the next nine weeks we are compiling the best XI to grace the top-flight since the competition's inception in 1992.
Each Monday we will provide a short list of players and you can vote for your favourite in the Eurosport-Yahoo! online poll or on the Eurosport Facebook page.

Each Thursday our panel of experts make their decision – their votes count for 50% - while the poll votes also count for 50%.

Neville won a landslide victory in all three categories, beating competition from Arsenal legend Lee Dixon into a distant second. He joins Manchester United clubmate Peter Schmeichel in our XI.

Pundits' Verdict (50%): 5-Gary Neville, 4-Lee Dixon, 3-Stephen Carr, 2-Gary Kelly, 1-Rob Jones
Home Page Poll Result (25%): 5-Gary Neville, 4-Lee Dixon, 3-Stephen Carr, 2-Rob Jones, 1-Gary Kelly

Facebook Poll Result (25%): 5-Gary Neville, 4-Lee Dixon, 3-Stephen Carr, 2-Gary Kelly, 1-Rob Jones

Here's some of the best user comments left on the Eurosport-Yahoo! website, the Eurosport mobile app and the Eurosport Facebook page:

"Love him or hate him - just look at his achievements. It has to be Neville." - shirley.collings

"Gary Neville - I'm an Arsenal fan, but there's no contest here." - James Sutherland-Smith

"It was a toss up between Dixon and Neville. I'll go for Dixon." - Clifford Jones

"Gary Neville, Definitely... How can you pick someone other than Gary Neville who won eight Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues? Truly one of the Greatest." Cameron

"Stephen Carr, no doubt, he's been superb for any team he's been at! Gary Neville is seriously overrated, he's only on the list and been in s many teams of the year just because he's played for Man. Utd! So he hasn't needed to stand out." - Rob

"Roland Nilsson, if he had played for any of the 'top 5' he would be up there. Wednesday legend!" - Philip


Well in Gary
