Whenever these lists come out Gary Neville is one of the few ever-presents. Even he himself admits that he was never that good. It's startling that in the whole premier league era there is not a player who even really comes close to challenging him.
That's down to consistency more than anything. There have been seasons where there have been better right backs than Neville, but none have been as good as him for as long as him. Ditto Giggs who's almost always an ever present on the left wing.
