Dubbed Razor, at his best Neil was a powerful and effective defender, strong in the air and with a good left foot.
Neil began the 2000-01 season as the Crystal Palace club captain a role he only briefly held. His campaign was interrupted by a series of injuries and suspensions and he was eventually released by mutual consent in the final weeks of the season.
'Razor' teamed up with his former Liverpool boss Roy Evans in August 2001 when he became player /coach at Swindon Town.
His generally unhappy stint at the County Ground led to him being transfer listed twelve months later. Subsquently, following the hearing of an Employment Tribunal in Bristol, Neil's Swindon contract was terminated in December 2002.
