His father is 6ft 2in – I'd check the milkman." This was Sir Alex Ferguson ’s famous assessment of Gary Neville during the legendary Scot’s time as Manchester United manager.
With the former England international standing out 5ft 11, it would appear Jamie Carragher was right when discussing full-backs he quipped: “You're either a failed winger or a failed centre-back.
No-one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville.” Such remarks are amusing and do contain an element of truth. After all, English football traditionally demands its centre-backs to be big, tall and strong.
