Model pro though, I'll always say that about Neville
Took his fitness seriously and led by example in that regard. Good captain from that stand point. You always knew he was working hard to make the most of what he had. He may not have had absolute love for Everton, but he certainly didn't treat his time here as a paid vacation like some others have done, especially during the Walter days.
Probably played a couple of years too long really. Should have perhaps moved on after the 10/11 season and maybe went down a league to the Championship
Overall, I'm glad he played for us, he just overstayed his welcome a little bit. Not our greatest captain, but by no means our worst. Was paid to do a job and he did it to the best of his ability and never dossed. No hard feelings Phillip, go on your way son
