*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Neville Southall MBE (born 16 September 1958) is a Welsh former international footballer. He has been described as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation and won the FWA Footballer of the Year award in 1985.[3]

He joined

1984, and helped Everton to a second place in the league in 1985–86. After leaving Everton in 1998, he became Torquay United
's regular goalkeeper for two years. He also made a handful of appearances for numerous other clubs.

He played internationally for

International Federation of Football History & Statistics on four occasions. He is a member of the Gwladys Street's Hall of Fame. He has been named as one of the 100 'Greatest Players of the 20th Century' by World Soccer magazine. In 1996 Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to football.[4]

Since his retirement as a player, Southall has briefly managed Dover Athletic, Hastings United and Margate, and has coached at numerous clubs as well as the Welsh national youth teams. He has also worked extensively with disadvantaged children, and set up his own educational consultancy.

Club career

Early years

Born and raised in

Bundesliga outfit Fortuna Düsseldorf, but decided against the move to Germany.[7] The Swifts were a poor side that were regularly beaten heavily, though the near constant barrage of shots he faced enabled Southall to improve on his shot-stopping skills.[8]

As a teenager, Southall had unsuccessful trials at Wrexham, Crewe Alexandra and Bolton Wanderers.[3][9] He aspired to be a postman, and never believed that he would make a living playing football.[10] He then worked as a binman, waiter and hod carrier and therefore entered the game relatively late.[11] He played for Llandudno Town at age 15, before joining Northern Premier League side Bangor City on £10 a week as a semi-professional the following year.[12] Bangor manager Dave Elliott regularly selected veteran goalkeeper Peter Eales ahead of Southall.[13] Everton asked Elliot permission to take Southall on trial, but Elliot left the club shortly after and no trial took place.[14] With Bangor in financial trouble the paid playing staff began to leave the club, and Southall left Bangor and went on to accept an offer of £3 a week to play for Conwy United.[14] He moved on to Cheshire County League club Winsford United at the age of 20.[15] The club won the Cheshire Senior Cup in 1980, and Southall was voted the club's Player of the Year.[16]

Bury

Southall's performances attracted the attention of

League Cup.[22] Southall kept 15 clean sheets after conceding 50 goals in his 44 domestic appearances, and was named as Bury's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.[23]

Everton

Southall was bought by Everton manager Howard Kendall for £150,000 in the summer of 1981.[18] To win a first team place he had to compete with Jim McDonagh (a Gordon Lee signing who would soon leave the club), Jim Arnold (also a new signing), and Martin Hodge (who was injured throughout his time at Everton).[24] He made his debut in a 2–1 win over Ipswich Town in October, after Arnold picked up an injury.[25] He returned to the first team in December, and he kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa and remained an ever-present throughout the rest of the 1981–82 season.[26]

Kendall described Southall as the best goalkeeper in the

John McGrath's Port Vale, and played nine Fourth Division games.[30] McGrath was impressed and tried to take Southall to Vale Park on a permanent basis, but was rebuffed by Kendall.[31] Back at Everton he played the last four games of the 1982–83 season after Arnold picked up an injury.[32]

Arnold was the preferred choice in goal at the start of the

1984 FA Cup Final, and kept a clean sheet as Everton claimed the trophy with a 2–0 victory over Watford.[35]

Southall kept a clean sheet at Wembley in the

1985 FA Cup Final, but lost 1–0 to Manchester United after a Norman Whiteside goal in extra-time.[41] At the end of the season Southall was named as the FWA Footballer of the Year, becoming only the first Everton player, second Welshman and fourth goalkeeper to win the award.[42]

Though Everton had won a place in the

1986 FA Cup Final to Liverpool.[48]

Sidelined through injury at the start of the

man of the match awards in wins over Arsenal and Chelsea as Everton claimed another league title.[50] Comparing the two title wins (1985 and 1987), Southall said that the latter success was "more rewarding and satisfying" as it had proved to be "more of a struggle" compared to the ease in which the title was won in the former campaign.[51]

After Kendall left Merseyside to coach Athletic Bilbao, his assistant Colin Harvey took charge at Goodison; Southall responded well to the change, as he believed Harvey "understood my obsessive and relentless desire to be the best".[52] Everton finished fourth in 1987–88, conceding a club record low of 27 goals in 40 league games, and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup.[52] Southall had missed the opening stages of the season after undergoing knee surgery.[53]

Harvey had failed to adequately replace some of Everton's departing star players, and Southall noted how "the mediocrity became habitual" as the club coasted to an eighth-place finish in the

1989 FA Cup Final after conceding only two goals in the seven games en route to the final.[56] In an emotional match in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster in the semi-final encounter with Nottingham Forest, Liverpool won the cup with a 3–2 extra-time victory.[57]

Everton were leading the division at the start of the 1989–90 season, but their title challenge fell away after a televised 6–2 defeat to Aston Villa.[58] Southall was later told he needed surgery that would keep him out of action for eight months, but he instead sought out a back specialist who told him he simply had a "bad back" and found that the problem corrected itself.[59]

Southall requested a transfer before the start of the

Full Members Cup at Wembley, losing 4–1 to Crystal Palace, though Southall refused to collect his runners-up medal as he did not value the competition.[64]

Everton were a declining force, and finished 12th in the league in 1991–92 whilst exiting both the FA Cup and League Cup at the Fourth Round.[65] They then finished 13th in the 1992–93 season in the newly created Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone.[66] Kendall resigned mid-way through the 1993–94 campaign and was replaced by Mike Walker – Southall later described Walker as a man who loved his suntan more than football.[67] Walker oversaw a run of bad results and Everton only escaped relegation with a final day victory over Wimbledon, winning 3–2 after turning round a 2–0 deficit.[68] Southall saw that his teammates were reluctant to take a penalty in the match and so took the ball himself before Graham Stuart plucked up the courage to take the ball from him and convert the penalty.[69]

Everton picked up four points from their opening 12 league games of the

1995 FA Cup Final against Manchester United.[73] Everton won the game 1–0, with Southall making a double save from Paul Scholes; the victory left Southall as the most decorated Everton player in the club's history.[74]

In the summer of 1995 Southall was given a testimonial match against Celtic as well as an MBE – during the ceremony the Queen asked Southall "what will you do now that you're retired?".[75] He went on to keep a clean sheet in the 1995 FA Charity Shield, as Everton beat Blackburn Rovers 1–0.[76] He remained an ever-present in the 1995–96 season, though Royle then tried to sign Crystal Palace goalkeeper Nigel Martyn.[77] He tried to sell Southall to Wolverhampton Wanderers, but cancelled the deal after becoming concerned over the pre-season form of touted replacement Paul Gerrard, and instead doubled Southall's wages to £6,000 a week with a new two-year contract.[78] Despite this, Royle dedicated an entire chapter of his 2005 autobiography to decrying Southall as a "potential weak link".[79]

After a promising start to the 1996–97, Everton were beaten six times in a row after Christmas and Southall resorted to ringing up a phone-in radio show to defend manager Joe Royle from unhappy supporters.[80] Royle dropped Southall from the team despite the show of support, though he rejected a transfer offer from Chelsea, who were prepared to double Southall's wages.[81] Caretaker-manager Dave Watson restored Southall to the starting line-up after Royle's resignation, and steered the club away from relegation.[82]

Howard Kendall returned again to manage Everton for the 1997–98 season, and played Southall in the Everton goal for the final time on 29 November, in a 2–0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur.[83] Thomas Myhre took his place in goal, and Southall rejected a coaching role at the club in order to search for first team football elsewhere.[84]

In December 1997, Southall went to

Britannia Stadium in the summer, and later said "one of the worst episodes of my life had drawn to a close".[88]

Later years

Former teammate

Football Conference side Doncaster Rovers on a short-term deal at the start of the 1997–98 season.[89] He signed with Wes Saunders's Torquay United of the Third Division in December 1998.[89] He saved a penalty on his debut at Plainmoor, in a 2–0 win over Hull City, and signed a contract lasting until the end of the 1998–99 campaign.[90] He was named as Torquay's Player of the Year at the end of the season.[91] However, on 29 January 2000, he picked up a concussion in a 2–1 defeat to Chester City at the Deva Stadium, and was substituted.[91] Though he recovered from his injury after the match, he left the club not long afterwards.[91]

Southall made a return to the Premier League by signing with

Matt Clarke and Gary Walsh.[92] All three goalkeepers picked up injuries, leaving manager Paul Jewell no choice but to play Southall at Valley Parade on 12 March 2000, against Leeds United.[92] At the age of 41 years and 178 days he became the fourth oldest player in Premier League history.[92] Leeds won 2–1, and Southall was criticised in the media for being too overweight to play professionally.[93] He left Bradford at the end of the 2000–01 season after falling out with new boss Jim Jefferies.[93]

International career

1982 British Home Championship, Wales won 3–0.[94]

Wales came close to qualifying for the

their final qualification game at Ninian Park, though a draw would not be enough.[97] The game ended in a 1–1 draw after a late Davie Cooper penalty cancelled out Mark Hughes's opener; Southall got a hand to the penalty, but could not keep it out.[98] However, the result of the game was put into perspective when Scotland manager Jock Stein suffered a heart attack at the end of the game and died shortly afterwards.[99]

Wales came close to qualifying for

UEFA European Football Championship in the nation's history. Going into the final two games of qualifying, Wales led their group.[100] Southall was injured, and so missed the match against Denmark in Copenhagen, which ended in a 1–0 defeat with Eddie Niedzwiecki in goal.[101] Southall returned to play the final game, a 2–0 defeat to Czechoslovakia in Prague which left Wales two points short of group winners Denmark.[101] Manager Mike England was then replaced by Terry Yorath, who also made Southall a virtual ever-present in the Wales goal.[102]

In qualifying for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Wales faced Netherlands, West Germany and Finland. They failed to win a game and finished bottom of the group, though Southall did get the chance to play against some of the world's best players in Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Rudi Völler, Andreas Möller, Andreas Brehme, and Jürgen Klinsmann.[103]

In qualifying for

Wales record run of 385 minutes without conceding an international goal.[105]

Wales were seen to have their best chance in reaching a major tournament after

their group was selected for qualification for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.[106] However a Gheorghe Hagi-inspired Romania defeated Wales 5–1 in Bucharest to open the Wales campaign.[107] Victories over the Faroe Islands and Belgium and two draws with the Representation of Czechs and Slovaks put Wales back on track, and a victory over Romania in Cardiff in the last game of the tournament would be enough to secure a place in the World Cup.[107] However Southall allowed a 25-yard strike from Hagi slip under his body and into the net and was nutmegged by Florin Răducioiu as Wales were beaten 2–1.[108] Once again a death put Welsh footballing hopes into perspective, as Southall attended the funeral of retired postman John Hill, who was killed after being struck by a flare released at the end of the match.[108]

Manager Terry Yorath was replaced by John Toshack, who stuck with Southall but resigned after just 48 days after falling out with the Football Association of Wales.[109] Results went badly under new boss Mike Smith, despite a 2–0 victory over Albania in the first game of qualifying for UEFA Euro 1996.[110] An embarrassing 3–2 defeat to Moldova was followed by a heavy 5–0 loss to Georgia.[111] Two defeats to Bulgaria ended faint hopes of qualification and cost Smith his job.[112]

Southall applied for the vacant position, but Bobby Gould was chosen instead, who in turn named Southall and Ian Rush as his assistants.

1984, therefore the majority of Southall's caps came in friendlies
or qualifying games.

Style of play

Southall was renowned for his shot-stopping ability, particularly in dealing with one-on-one situations, quickly coming off his line to intimidate the onrushing forward and relying on his instinctive reactions to save the ball.[116][117] He would spend hours reading books about boxing and golf to improve his balance and spring, and would focus on improving minor pieces of kit and behaviour, saying that "If I changed 100 things and got 1% better because of one of them, then it was worth it".[118]

Coaching and management career

Southall was appointed caretaker manager of Wales, alongside Mark Hughes, following the resignation of Bobby Gould after a 4–0 defeat against Italy on 5 June 1999.[119] In his only game in charge Wales lost 2–0 to Denmark at Anfield on 9 June 1999, and Mark Hughes was appointed as manager on a full-time basis.[119] During his time playing for Torquay, he also worked as a goalkeeping coach at Huddersfield Town and Tranmere Rovers.[92] He later became a player-coach at York City, Rhyl, Shrewsbury Town,[120] and Dagenham & Redbridge.[121]

He was appointed manager of Football Conference club

Clive Walker.[123] He later made cameo appearances as a player at Canvey Island.[124] He also began teaching young people from deprived backgrounds how to coach in a community scheme called Soccer Skills, and later worked in the special education sector.[125] He set up his own educational consultancy that specialised in working with NEETs, in partnership with Brooklands College.[126]

He had a spell as Wales under-19 coach, but quit his post in November 2004, claiming he was treated with "a total lack of respect" and that the coaching was compromised because "...as always, it's about money."[127] FAW management committee chairman Ken Tucker issued a rebuke, saying: "Nev is making comments on things he knows little about. It is sad when people make comments without any knowledge of the finances of the FAW."[127]

A month after resigning from the national scene, Southall returned to management with Hastings United.[128] However just one year on he was sacked, with the Hastings chairman saying that "there have recently been an increasing number of issues on which Neville and I have disagreed and it had got to the point where our working relationship had broken down, beyond the point of repair, as far as I was concerned".[129]

In November 2008, Margate manager Terry Yorath appointed Southall as his assistant in the Isthmian League.[130] In September 2009, he became the caretaker-manager after Yorath resigned as manager.[131]

Personal life

Southall married Eryl Williams in June 1980.[132] The couple had a daughter, Samantha, in 1987.[133] He admitted to having affairs over the course of the 18-year marriage, and left Eryl for another woman, an aromatherapist named Emma, in 1998.[134]

He is a teetotaller; this fact, coupled with his shy personality and focus on football gave him a reputation as something of a loner.[25] In August 2012, his autobiography "The Binman Chronicles" was released. It was the sixth best selling football book of 2012.[135]

In May 2017, Southall endorsed

2017 UK General Election. He was impressed by Labour's plans to commit 5% of Premier League football's £8.3 billion broadcasting revenue back into the grassroots game, giving accredited supporters trusts the power to appoint and remove at least two club directors and purchase shares when clubs change hands, fair opportunities for fans to buy tickets and make sure stadiums are accessible for disabled fans.[136]
