Butt - hardworking midfielder.
NICKY BUTT
Position: Midfield
Born: 21.01.75
Club: Manchester United Previously one of the supposed lesser lights at Old Trafford, Butt has
grown in authority this season, assuming responsibility in the wake of injuries
to Roy Keane and David Beckham. He is the sort of unsung hero who rarely, if
ever, lets a team down and gets through all the hard work that allows others to
display their attacking skills.
Without a doubt Manchester United's most improved player since Christmas in a difficult season for the Old Trafford club.
Missed out on selection for the 1998 finals by a whisker, so will be doubly delighted to make it this time round.
Skill on the ball isn't his greatest attribute, but he is underrated in that area.
