A pacy defender with excellent aerial ability and terrific ball control given his towering 6ft 4in frame, Gary Pallister formed half of arguably the greatest central defensive partnership the club has known.

With Steve Bruce by his side ‘Dolly and Daisy’, as they were affectionately dubbed, saw off all comers to United’s 18-yard box in a glorious seven-season stint together.

Their rock-like presence yielded three Premiership titles (1993, 1994, 1996), two runners-up spots, the 1991 European Cup-Winner’s Cup and Super Cup, three FA Cups (1990, 1994, 1996) and the League Cup of 1992.

Born on the Kent coast in Ramsgate in June 1965, Pallister started his career with non-league Billingham Town and joined the Reds from his boyhood heroes Middlesbrough for £2.3 million in August 1989 – then a record fee for a British defender.

Given a weight-training regime to bulk his skinny body up, the 13th-placed finish of his first season – virtually impossible to conceive of now – was followed by a remarkable run in which United finished outside the top two just once in the next eight campaigns.

An imposing backline, in which Pallister was a permanent fixture (he missed just one league game between 1992 and 1995), proved a cornerstone of this success. He was voted PFA Player of the Year in 1992 and was unlucky not to win more than 22 England caps.

After nine years at Old Trafford and 317 league appearances – and a further title success in 1996/97 following Bruce’s departure – Pallister’s career went full circle, leaving United to return to the north-east with Premiership new boys Boro for £2.5 million in the summer of 1998. All that success, and a £200,000 profit!

Pallister is still a regular face at Old Trafford, popping up on MUTV as a pundit. And though stopping goals is the thing he will be largely remembered for, his brace of headers against Liverpool at Anfield which all but clinched the 1997 title burns brightly in any self-suspecting Red’s memory bank.

I had heard all about Sir Alex Ferguson's fiery reputation before signing for Manchester United, so when I signed I was waiting for it to happen.

I expected it after one of my first games when we lost 5-1 against Manchester City, but he was unusually calm and I thought maybe he is not as that fearsome.

As the season came to pass I saw what Sir Alex was all about.

He gets his point across very bluntly and is intimidating because you knew once he unleashed a verbal volley, dubbed the hairdryer, he could be quite scathing.

Sometimes you would agree, sometimes you would not. Sometimes you would argue back, sometimes you would not.

If you argued with him he would usually shout even more.

It used to be a standing joke in the dressing room. Who would be next on the list? But we would usually have a laugh about it afterwards.

You have to admire the guy, the passion just comes out of him if things have not gone well.

It was not just when we got beaten, it was if you played poor and won a game. If he is not happy he will tell you you have not played well or reached the standards he expects.

It is not done for effect, it is because it is what he feels.

It goes back to when he won the Scottish Cup with Aberdeen and ripped into his players afterwards. He wants to win football games and he wants to win in style.

You need that respect, that little bit of fear where you do not know what is going to happen.

It is old-style management but he mixes it with 21st-century methods - he married the two together with his attention to detail and looking for that 1% that might matter.

He brought in eye specialists to talk about peripheral vision. People talk about that now but he was doing that 10 years ago.

I signed for the club in 1989. The deal was done at a restaurant on the A19 when I was sat outside in my agent's car.

It was not a very good time for me. I'd had a fall-out with the Middlesbrough manager and there was a lot of ill-feeling.

Manchester United got pushed to the limit and had to pay a British record fee, which for a centre-half was probably ridiculous but I will be forever thankful he had enough faith to pay it.

He did not have to sell the club but he made me feel really wanted.

He talked about playing exciting football and how Steve Bruce and I could build a great partnership - everything was positive.

He was rebuilding from the foundations and putting his own stamp on the club and building the youth academy that went on to pay great fruits.

But the glory days United went on to achieve seemed light years away.

The holy grail was the league title and they had not won that for over 20 years.

After nine years of success it was hard to leave the club but I had seen players like Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson hurt when they moved on when they felt they had more to give.

I was coming to my testimonial season and still had a year on my contract but the club accepted an offer and that was that.

I was not going to get bitter and twisted so I upped and left.

We still keep in touch and he is different class when I go back there.

I always remember his old Aberdeen players Alex McLeish and Willie Miller coming up for dinner at The Cliff training ground and when I am at Old Trafford he always asks me in for a coffee or a glass of wine.

He is incredibly loyal and likes to look after his old players.

The former Manchester United and England defender tells FFT.com's James Maw all about Paul Scholes, Glen Johnson and taking video games very seriously...


Your old Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes was asked to come out of international retirement by Fabio Capello; could he have had an impact at the World Cup?

Paul Scholes is without a shadow of doubt, one of the finest players to pull on a United shirt. You ask any of the players who played alongside him at international level or for United and they’ll tell you that he’s a fantastic player.

He’s got that uncanny knack of scoring fantastic goals at important times. If you asked any of the best players to name the best midfielders of the last 15 years, they'd all put Paul Scholes at the very top of the list. He’s a wonderful creative midfield player, he can pick a pass, and although tackling isn’t his strong suit, he’s a very intelligent, goal-scoring midfielder.

He’s invaluable. It is a shame that he hasn’t gone along, but he’s been retired now for six years and he’ll feel like he’s done his bit. He’s promised his family holidays and such and it’s very difficult to then change your mind when you have young children to go off and play in the World Cup. I’m sure he thought long and hard about it, but he ultimately chose his family.

Could he have helped solve the Gerrard/Lampard dilemma, given the three of them all played well together at Euro 2004?

It’s an age-old argument this Gerrard and Lampard thing and whether they can play together, and whether they need a holding midfield player to support the defence because they are players who want to make a difference at the attacking end of the pitch.

They are capable of doing the defensive job, but it doesn’t come as naturally as it does to someone like Gareth Barry, or even Scholesy, who can fill that role too. I think great players find a way to play together and Capello plays a formation with the holding midfielder and they’ve proved that they can play together within that system. Gerrard also has potential to play off the frontman, he’s one of those players who wants to take the game by the scruff of the neck ala Wayne Rooney, so Capello has that option available to him too.

I don’t know if any of the other strikers have made a great case to play alongside Wayne Rooney. In the early stages of the tournament I think he’ll go 4-4-2 with Emile Heskey alongside Rooney as he did in the qualifiers. I think he feels Heskey takes the pressure of Wayne Rooney and gives him the space to play in. Capello sees him as the perfect foil for Rooney to score the goals that England need to go further in the competition.

Do you think there’s a possibility of Rooney playing alone upfront as he has for United for big chunks of the season just gone?

I think it’s a possibility against the bigger teams. I don’t think he’ll do it in the group stages, I think Capello will feel like we’re the strongest team in the group and we’ll go out and take the game to all three of the other teams.

As we progress and come up against a team like Spain or Brazil then you’ve got to be a little bit more careful in your approach and it wouldn’t surprise me if we packed the midfield and had Rooney upfront on his own.

Then, as I say, you can play Barry in the holding role and give Lampard and Gerrard the freedom to go on and create further up the field and they don’t have to do as much dirty work. So we’ve got options, he’s pick a squad that gives us plenty of options and I think he’ll have to utilize them all if we’re going to win the World Cup.

Were you surprised that Gary Neville missed out in the end as an experienced back-up?

Gary’s missed so much football this season that it’s not a great surprise he didn’t make it. He got himself back into the reckoning, got a sniff but I think ultimately Capello has decided that Gary’s not quite up to speed for the World Cup.

He’s tough, Gary, he wouldn’t have let anybody down. He’s professional enough to know what he’s capable of and he’s probably still stronger than Glen Johnson defensively.

Glen will offer more going forward, but he’s a concern for me as he’s a right-back who’s still better suited to attacking. Defenders should defend first and foremost. Defending should be their lifeblood, but that’s not the case with Glen and I’m sure the centrebacks would prefer if it was.

But he’s improving and as an attacking player he’s scored some great goals in recent seasons, getting up and supporting the attacking players at Liverpool and scored a great goal for England against Mexico and he’s got that ability to make things happen.

It wasn’t so long ago that there were no concerns about the back four and the backup looked strong too. Now all of a sudden there are chinks in the armour with the off-field problems earlier in the season and the injuries, especially to Rio. It is a concern now looking at the squad and the team that’s going to start. Are they going to be the unit that they were in qualifying?

Do you think the defence could be key to how England get on at the World Cup?

A strong defence is key to any team doing well in the World Cup. Just look at Brazil. If you look back to the 70s and 80s it was all about ‘total football’ and outscoring the opposition, but now even they take a lot more care at the back – all the best teams are.

You would look at England and if they can bring that solidarity back into the defence then we’ve got half a chance with the players we’ve got creating things. The Gerrards, Lampards and Wayne Rooneys can always score goals, so if you can keep a clean sheet then you’re obviously going to have a very good chance.

Are you worried Manchester United might fall behind the superior financial clout of City and Chelsea?

I don’t think they’re going to fall behind. As much as has been said about the debt and the Glazers, those worries were there at the start and they went on to win three titles back-to-back, won a European Cup and got to another final, so you can’t say if affected them on the pitch.

This year I don’t think either Chelsea or Manchester had that invincibility about them they’ve had in previous seasons. It;s incredible that two teams who both lost seven matches were in the title race until the final game of the season.

I think United need to bring in a couple of new faces and I think David Gill has said that there’s a fair size kitty for the manager to go and do that.

Now you’ve got what’s happening at Manchester City, people coming in and bankrolling teams and signing the biggest players on such massive wages. It’s going to spiral out of control soon - big clubs are already suffering trying to keep up and it’s something we need to nip in the bud before it spirals out of control.

It’s ridiculous, £80 million for Fabregas? That’d bankrupt a lot of teams. It’s getting to dangerous proportions again and I think FIFA need to get together again and stop it.

Might it be a case of FIFA or UEFA coming in and saying “you can only spend so much a season”?

I don’t know how you can do that but it’s something that is at a dangerous level; player’s wages, the transfer fees - it’s all a bit obscene, really, isn’t it? That kind of sum for one player, it’s a bit of a concern.

Tell us a bit about the 1Goal charity..

The 1GOAL charity is working in conjunction with X-Box to try to raise awareness of the needs of the children of the world who aren’t getting the things that we take for granted, such as an education.

As you say, it’s in conjunction with X-Box, are you a keen gamer?

Even at this age, I’m still into my X-Box, much to the amusement of my family, especially my children. Games these days are getting so good, they’re so interactive and the kids love it. It’s something that us Dads have got to do!

Are you one of those Dads who is ultra-competitive?

Oh yeah, just ask my kids! If I get beat, I have to play again and again until I win. They always ask: “Why do you hate losing so much, Dad?”

Is that the old Manchester United never-say-die mentality?

Maybe, although it’s something I had in my school life as well. It was football, cricket, basketball, everything - I always wanted to be the best I could be. I’ve grown up with that inside me, I think most people do. I’ve calmed down a bit now I’ve retired, but it’s still there when I’m playing these games it’s very prevalent.

A dose of Gary Pallister on club TV is an ideal remedy for title angst

Once you give up all the tedious debate and analysis, gazing with an all-consuming potato-love at one club is very restful

By : Barney Ronay

A few weeks ago MUTV appeared suddenly on my satellite TV channel menu. Perhaps it had always been there, quietly unspooling its feature-length Denis Irwin biopics, its 50 greatest David May block tackles but – like the bizarre magic-eye surprise of Osama bin Laden's bijou urban terrorist centre – somehow managing to camouflage itself in among the everyday hubbub. Either way, before this weekend I hadn't taken the plunge into actually watching it. TV football is already an all-enveloping thing, a place where there are no screen breaks, just an endlessly rising balloon of 24-hour satellite burble. But this was the most Manchester United of footballing weekends. With what even the uncomfortably self-ironising Gary Lineker described as "a title face-off" looming, it seemed the ideal moment to seek out the beating, furred, over-caloried heart of the in-house TV channel.

I came to MUTV expecting a farrago of pre-Super Sunday angst. In fact there wasn't a great deal of Chelsea stuff on it. Instead the emotional barometer is set more vaguely, to a pitch of non-specific corporate applause unrelated to the actual anxieties of real-life football. Above all, MUTV has a relentless quality. It turns out the last great wilderness isn't Antarctica, or the innermost workings of the human psyche. It is instead Pally's Big Match, a highlights show featuring Pally – AKA Gary Pallister – slumped across a grey suede sofa like three sacks of cement encased in a crumpled bloke-shirt, and repeated so often it appeared at times to be starting again before it had actually finished.

Pally seems very nice and has an endearing way of saying the word "Cheech-ah-reet-oh". But why he has his own Big Match is not immediately clear. He winced and frowned, sceptical, taciturn, and doing a convincing impression of a man who has been taken hostage, sedated and tied to a sofa, and is now mumbling in a low, determined voice about set-piece opportunities and stonewall penalties in order to keep himself conscious until the Swat team arrives.

This was followed by Ryan and Rio: Carrington Revealed, presented by Rachel Riley off Countdown, who seemed genuinely thrilled to be shown around United's training ground by Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand. Giggs was quietly but classily flirtatious ("Two hours' time this'll be full of naked lads walking about"). Rio was more zany and in truth a lot more like David Brent as he relentlessly bantered with every passerby, every mute and startled odd-job man. "This lot are nutters," he declared as he forcibly interrogated the kitchen staff. In the end Carrington Revealed just stopped, cutting to the credits as though they'd simply run out of patience, or been merked off the premises in a headlock by the goonish, endlessly surprising Rio.

More poignant was the documentary Nicky Butt: From Gorton to Greatness, which might also have been called Nicky Butt: I'm Incredibly Depressed Now. Butt came across as a likable, ruminative, moping kind of figure, a leather-jacketed millionaire Alan Bennett drifting morosely about his own cavernous living room. "What you miss is the everyday. I've been doing a lot of golf. But nothing replaces it. You start to think – what's the purpose of life?" Later on he wandered around the deserted home dressing room looking sad and being really quiet for ages.

It turns out this bass note of sentimentality is a common club channel theme, perhaps a natural flipside to the dominant parping triumphalism. I turned to Liverpool's LFCTV to make some sense of it all and found an entire channel presented by just two people, a nice young man and a nice young woman who have the air of saintly rest-home care workers, their lives a matter of continually agreeing with gruff, uncompromising old men that everything about the past was much better. Sixty Minutes with Ian St John was, as advertised, 60 minutes with the unchanged Saint, which in truth could easily have been 48 gruelling hours with Ian St John or, towards the end, a lifetime married to Ian St John, learning to love his little ways, glazing over while he starts to talk about Shanks again.

By the end of all this the switch back to real life was jarring, what with all those conflicting opinions out there, those shades of doubt, and the absence of Pally on hand to offer a reassuringly blinkered interpretation of Absolutely Everything That Ever Happens. You learn things too. Giggs keeps a gnarled wooden ceremonial sword by his locker at all times. Andy Carroll only grew his sui generis ponytail when he'd made it into the first team. The Saint once knocked a Fulham player out with a punch. It turns out, once you give up the tedious business of debate and analysis, gazing with an all-consuming potato-love at one club is very restful. I'd like to pretend I won't be back, but I have no choice. There's 16 whole hours of United v Chelsea to get through today alone.

Gary Pallister interview
Pallister: United's case for the defence
Soccernet, Mark Lomas - September 22, 2011


Defenders are the unsung heroes of football clubs across the land. While a match-winning goal will be etched into a fans' memory for a lifetime, a match-saving tackle will be quickly forgotten. The richer the attacking talents of a team's frontline, the more overlooked the personnel making up their backline are likely to be, which is why the achievements of Manchester United's defensive icons are all the more admirable.

Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister formed one of the best centre-back partnerships in Man Utd's history

Despite being renowned for their offensive aptitude, United have had players of real defensive calibre littered throughout their history. With flair-heavy forwards such as George Best, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo hogging the spotlight over the years, there has still been room for the likes of Bill Foulkes, Steve Bruce and Nemanja Vidic to establish and cement enviable reputations.

Add Johnny Carey, Martin Buchan and Jaap Stam to the aforementioned names and the surface - immaculately varnished as it is - is still only being scratched. Since arriving at the club in 1986, Sir Alex Ferguson has maintained the attacking traditions of United while also creating defensive foundations to allow those players ahead of the backline to flourish.

From the Bruce-Pallister partnership of his first championship-winning side through to the Stam-Johnsen combination that helped win the Champions League in 1999 and the Vidic-Ferdinand pairing of recent times, Ferguson has formed some formidable defensive units.

United's unbeaten start to the current season has predictably been characterised by goals aplenty, but the impressive form of young defenders Phil Jones and Chris Smalling has also set journalists' tongues wagging and filled up the club's message boards. Former Red Devils centre back Pallister, who won nine major titles in his nine years at Old Trafford, has seen Ferguson's team-building skills first-hand and believes that his ability to consistently build a solid defensive foundation is no fluke.

"He brings them in gradually - he did it last year with Smalling and he's done it over the years, bringing in young kids and easing them in gently," Pallister tells ESPNsoccernet. "He's had to maybe bring Jones and Smalling in together a lot quicker than might have been expected of the injuries to Nemanja and Rio but that's the way he operates. People say it's almost as if he just makes one team after another but he doesn't: it's like a seamless transition throughout the period of years. He's aware that players are getting older and may have any injury problems so he starts looking to the future. He's building these teams maybe four or five years in advance before we actually realise."


Pallister has been impressed with United's current rearguard options and, here, analyses the contribution of the club's first-team defenders for ESPNsoccernet.

Pallister on United's defence

Patrice Evra: "He's experienced, got pace and is a great attacking full back - one of the best in the world. He knows what it takes to win big games and big trophies. It was a difficult season for him last year, because of the situation with France at the World Cup - I think there was a little bit of a fallout from that for a period of time. He's got a wealth of experience, is one of the leaders in the dressing-room and one of the lads who makes the dressing-room a fun place to be because he's always having a bit of a joke. The experience of Patrice Evra, especially when you've got some of these younger players in the side, is invaluable."

Fabio and Rafael: "The two twins are both full of energy, full of beans. You know what you're going to get from them: every time they put on a United shirt they're going to give 100%. At times, they can both maybe be a little bit rash, though that is something they will learn with time and maturity. Certainly, the energy levels of Manchester United go up when either of them plays. Whether they are the future left and right back of this United side, who knows? Smalling has played out there on the right-hand side and done ever so well and Phil Jones has filled in there as well and looked equally at home. It's a great problem for the manager to have, each player being competitive."

Nemanja Vidic: "An absolute rock. He took over the captaincy last year and was absolutely fantastic. He's a defender that's very much in the mould of a Steve Bruce or a Tony Adams - he puts his head in where angels fear to tread. He's a great leader, a motivational kind of player and a great captain."

Rio Ferdinand: "Whenever Rio plays in that back four, you know you've got a world-class centre half playing there. Yes, he's had his injury problems, and he's picked up this one at the start of the season that has given Chris Smalling and Phil Jones a chance, but there's still plenty to come from Rio Ferdinand. He still looks like a Rolls Royce of a player when he's playing and I'm sure the manager knows the exact worth of Rio."

Chris Smalling: "A pretty similar story to myself. He came from non-league as a bit of a late starter in the game but obviously made people and sit up and take notice of him at Fulham. He came into the side last year and probably played more games than he expected to. He never let anyone down, looked very accomplished and is a great one for the future. I'm sure he'd like to play centre back but it doesn't always pan out that way - I remember Paul Parker coming to United expecting to play centre half but ending up a right back. If you get a starting place in a Manchester United side, you play wherever the manager asks."


http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0920/nemanjavidicandchrissmallingmanchesterunited201109 21_275x155.jpg
Chris Smalling has proved an able deputy for Nemanja Vidic already in his Man Utd career

Jonny Evans: "Last year was a tough one for Jonny - he didn't play as many games as he would have liked, which made it hard for him when he came in. I remember the Carling Cup game against West Ham [which United lost 4-0] was a particularly difficult one but his performances towards the end of the season were greatly improved. Sir Alex rates Jonny highly. He's been involved plenty so far this season and I think he has a lot to offer United in the years to come. He's a great professional."

Phil Jones: "I think he's been phenomenal. His age belies the maturity he shows on the pitch. He looks as though he's been there a number of years already - you can see him organising and bossing people on the pitch and for a 19-year-old kid to do that stands him in good stead for the future. He looks an exceptional player and one who's obviously got a great future - obviously I think and hope it's going to be for a long time for Manchester United."

Dukungan atau kritikan Pallister untuk Don Fabio ?

Pallister: Tugas Berat Menghadang Capello

Bola.net - Mantan pemain belakang Manchester United, Gary Pallister, mengatakan bahwa manajer timnas Inggris Fabio Capello punya banyak tugas yang harus dipecahkan antara sekarang hingga putaran final Piala Eropa 2012 musim panas mendatang.

Inggris lolos ke putaran final setelah tampil kurang meyakinkan selama penyisihan grup, sementara Capello sendiri telah memutuskan untuk tak memperpanjang kontraknya yang habis usai Piala Eropa.

Kartu merah Wayne Rooney, kasus rasisme yang menimpa kapten John Terry, hingga menurunnya performa pemain-pemain senior seperti Frank Lampard dan Rio Ferdinand merupakan sebagian masalah yang harus segera dipecahkan Capello.

"Putaran final Piala Eropa nanti akan memberi kita jawaban tentang Fabio Capello, tentang gaya manajemennya selama di Inggris. Saya rasa untuk saat ini kita belum bisa menilai," kata Pallister seperi dilansir Sportinglife.

Pallister yang bermain 22 kali untuk timnas Inggris antara tahun 1988 hingga 1966, yakin absennya Rooney akan menjadi pukulan telak bagi Inggris di Piala Eropa.

"Sebuah kerugian besar bagi Inggris (kehilangan Rooney) tapi sekarang saatnya untuk beradaptasi. Saya pikir Capello belum tahu bagaimana bentuk tim terbaiknya dan bagaimana cara Inggris bermain di Piala Eropa nanti," tegas Pallister. (spo/zul)
