You’ll Never Beat Neville Southall (Video)

By Chris Wright

Neville Southall. Neville. F**king. Southall – former binman, mustachioed powerhouse, atavistic footballing throwback and one of, if not the finest goalkeeper of his generation…

To be honest, Big Nev deserves this afternoon’s vid-tribute nod just for the sheer number of abhorrent jerseys he’s been forced to sport down through the years…

Yeesh. It’s a wonder the man can still go out in public.

Suggested futher viewing…

The Man They Call ‘Batigol’: Gabriel Batistuta
The Thin, Wild Mercury Genius Of Djalminha
Vision And Finesse: Michael Laudrup
Ronaldo’s 62 Brazil Goals In The Space Of Four Minutes
Thierry Henry’s 226 Arsenal Goals In The Space Of 14 Minutes

    Related links read in an amusing way..

    Thierry Henry goals
    Ronaldo goals
    Laudrup’s finesse
    Djalminha genius
    Batistuta the legend
    …
    Neville Southall.

    But a legend nonetheless.

    Heroic stuff.

    What a keeper. What a fashionista.

    Also, a part of that Welsh generation that underachieved on the international stage: Mark Hughes, Ian Rush, Ryan Giggs, Dean Saunders, Gary Speed, er, Barry Horne.

    How the f*** did they never reach a European or World Cup final? Shocking.
