United was Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo.
SPEAKER_2 (0:23)
Yeah.
Gary Neville (0:25)
But, I know Liverpool is just for me and old Salah and Mane.

Do you reckon that's better than the ones before, the Liverpool?

Show us this messy name our Swires.
Gary Neville (0:48)
That's the best front three of all time.
SPEAKER_2 (0:49)
Easily.
Gary Neville (0:50)
Yeah, it is.
Ian Wright (0:51)
Come in on the side, you see that? That's how you have to come in. That's how my uncle used to come into the house.
What's that mean, G-Force?
Gary Neville (0:57)
Yes, Ian, how are we?
Ian Wright (0:58)
Hey, look at that.
Gary Neville (1:00)
There you go.
Ian Wright (1:01)
Oh, God, why is my mouth so wide open?
Gary Neville (1:03)
I got you on the front cover of FourFourTwo.
Ian Wright (1:05)
Thanks, Gary.
Gary Neville (1:07)
Not loaded, not GQ, not Forbes, FourFourTwo. Sorry, who's shooting FourFourTwo here?
Yeah, but you like that sort of stuff, you and me. It'll go down well, don't worry.
Ian Wright (1:21)
Oh, look, it's lovely.
Jill Scott (1:23)
I love how them questions, Royce, is my answers are wrong when it's just an opinion. You know, the...
Gary Neville (1:29)
Yeah, but Roy doesn't agree with anybody else's opinion. Have you not worked that out in the three?
Jill Scott (1:32)
Oh, yeah, I've worked that out. Am I here yet? Yeah, I like it, but have you seen Jamie's picture?
What one? He looks possessed.
Ian Wright (1:40)
Let's see.
Gary Neville (1:41)
He is possessed, have you not? Yeah. He's a crazy guy.
Jill Scott (1:44)
It's actually funny.
Ian Wright (1:45)
Let me see.
Jill Scott (1:46)
Right, you look a million dollars.
Ian Wright (1:48)
No, I don't.
Jill Scott (1:49)
Look at Gary.
Ian Wright (1:50)
Gary looks so...
Wow. My mum would be happy.
Gary Neville (1:53)
Show me. Show me my picture, Jill.
Jill Scott (1:55)
You look good.
Gary Neville (1:56)
No, not great.
Jill Scott (1:57)
You look good.
SPEAKER_6 (1:58)
Not happy. Who did you say is in front of three?
Roy Keane (2:01)
I need a thinking time.
Jill Scott (2:02)
So I said Beckham, Giggs, and Poole.
Gary Neville (2:05)
Who did you say is in front of three?
Steven Gerrard (2:06)
My name for me, No Salah.
Ian Wright (2:08)
Oh, it's not a bad show. You know, I went with... A little bit of bias going in there. I went with Neymar, Messi and Suarez.
Gary Neville (2:14)
It is absolutely Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
Ian Wright (2:17)
Thank you very much, Gary.
Steven Gerrard (2:18)
Yeah, I get that. It is.
Gary Neville (2:19)
It is.
Ian Wright (2:20)
Thanks, Gerrard.
Steven Gerrard (2:21)
You're a bit biased.
Gary Neville (2:23)
I was manager of Valencia when they beat 7-0, and Messi, Suarez and Neymar were the front three. And he left them on the whole game. I think he might have brought one of them off a couple of minutes before the end.
I have never seen speed and connection and combinations and attacking play like it ever. And to be fair, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez for a period were like devastated on counter-attacks and stuff.
Ian Wright (2:45)
I saw the other day as well, I saw some link up with Messi, magnificent.
Gary Neville (2:50)
Yeah.
Steven Gerrard (2:50)
I thought I saw one team, it scared you, didn't it?
Gary Neville (2:53)
Yeah. Yeah. But you forget the international teams, Brazil in the 70s or 82, Zico, was it Rivaldo, Ronaldo and...
Ian Wright (3:02)
This is what I said, I tried to...
Roy Keane (3:04)
That question is a bit more respect.
Ian Wright (3:06)
Because it's too quick, I said that to him, I said, now I'm going to have to go over the top of my head.
Jill Scott (3:09)
Yeah, but it is quick fire.
