"If he was an inch taller he'd be the best centre-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in – I'd check the milkman."

With the former England international standing out 5ft 11, it would appear Jamie Carragher was right when discussing full-backs he quipped: “You're either a failed winger or a failed centre-back. No-one wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville.”
