Has announced his retirement with immediate effect.

Whilst granting that it maybe be have been easier because he played for Manchester United, but he is surely to be applauded for his loyal service.

Not just loyal service though - at the top of the game for decades and not a whiff of a scandal. We live in times where too many famous types let themselves down. Kids need role models and too many 'top' players let them down too.

Totally agree. Also seems to have made the best of the talent he was given.

That is code for "I think he wasn't good enough to play for Man U and England but fair play to him all the same"!!!

I think, Gary Neville was one of, if not the most consistent England player of his generation, never did anything spectacular but rarely put a foot wrong.
