Our club captain Gary Neville's been out for a year now, but Giggsy has taken up the mantelpiece.

Rio Ferdinand

Many great teams have players who have come through the youth system or have been at the club for a long time as their captains. I'm thinking of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, John Terry at Chelsea, Raul at Real Madrid, as well as Puyol at Barcelona and Gary Neville at Man United.

Philipp Lahm

Maybe Gary (Neville) deserves to be chased up a tunnel every now and then - there would be a queue for him, probably. But you have to draw a line eventually.

Roy Keane

Everyone knows I like to fight injured. Half the fights I've taken, I've always been injured.

Robert Whittaker

I've been the captain of a Premier League club, and I've coached some of the best players in the world.

Phil Neville

But I was club captain at Leeds, club captain at Fulham. If you've got a bad attitude you're not getting those honours.

Ross McCormack

No-one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville.

Jamie Carragher

Paul Scholes and Gary Neville are the centrefolds of Man United

Dwight Yorke

There are two things that really get under Gary Neville's skin: scousers and policemen.

Rio Ferdinand

Funnily enough, I think Gary Neville is very interesting... and talks a lot of sense.

Vincent Kompany

I'm almost happy for Gary Neville's troubles at Valencia. I remember he was too harsh as a TV pundit.

Hernan Crespo

I respect what Gary Neville achieved as a player. He was brilliant at Manchester United and hats off to him.

Marko Arnautovic

To be honest, I'm now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great. I'm very happy to be part of Manchester City's team, and I look forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.

Bernardo Silva

I've taken fights on short notice while injured to help save shows, and in return I've been taken care of.

During the last 17 years... I have been working at the restoration of a once exhausted hillside. Its scars are now healed over, though still visible, and this year it has provided abundant pasture, more than in any year since we have owned it. But to make it as good as it is now has taken 17 years. If I had been a millionaire or if my family had been starving, it would still have taken 17 years. It can be better than it is now, but that will take longer. For it to live fully in its own responsibility, as it did before bad use ran it down, may take hundreds of years.
