SIR PHILIP CARTER has paid a glowing tribute to Everton’s injured skipper, Phil Neville, describing him as “absolutely essential” to the Blues’ cause.
The versatile midfielder-cum- defender has been sidelined since the trip to Fulham two months ago – and has targeted the visit of Manchester United next month for his comeback.
But Everton Life-President Sir Philip believes Neville is the player the Blues have missed most during an injury crisis he describes as unprecedented in his time at the club.
