Neil joined City from Brighton in 1983 for £35,000 and was arguably City's player of the eighties, being voted Player of the Year in 1986/87 and 1988/89. A skilful and very competitive midfield player, Neil inspired a young team to promotion from the Second Division in 1989. He left for Tranmere in January 1990 for £125,000, the second six-figure move of his career, and played over 100 first-team games for them, including two Leyland-DAF Cup finals at Wembley. He went on to have short spells at several other clubs before rejoining the Blues in the summer of 1994 as Youth Team Coach. "I've always remained in the area and my period at City was the happiest of my career. I thought I might get another year playing out of my legs but I would have retired ages ago if this job had come up!", he said.
