While there's no doubt in my mind Gary Neville's the worst
permanent captain in all my time of watching United (which dates
back to the Robson era and has spanned 3 other captains in Bruce,
Cantona and Keane), I don't see too many in the current squad with
leadership qualities anyway - in fact, it's so ridiculous I
wouldn't even find it absurd to consider throwing the captaincy to
Rooney.
It's a far cry from the 90's when we had half a team of worthy
captains playing in the same team. Case in point, at least 7-8
players in the 93/94 side(Schmeichel, Parker, Irwin, Bruce,
Pallister, Keane, Ince, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Cantona, Hughes) would
have made worthy captains in their own right - only pity they all
had to play at the same time...
