| Phil Neal made his name with Northampton Town and had played in nearly 200 Football League games for The Cobblers when he was transferred to Liverpool in November 1974 as Bob Paisley's first managerial signing. Vastly experienced already with the League scene even at the relatively young age of 23, being pitched into the Goodison derby with Everton just days after his arrival on Merseyside didn't bother him in the slightest. Phil played 50 times for England, a clear recognition that he was one of the finest full-backs of his time. He played in a staggering total of 701 Football League games for Northampton, Liverpool and Bolton. Never a flamboyant showman who courted attention or publicity, he just got on with his job through hard work and concentration and dedication. Phil brings a wealth of experience to the corporate market and is a superb business and after dinner speaker. |
