Discussing the world’s best right-backs was not something most would have considered doing even 15 years ago. 

“Nobody grows up wanting to be a Gary Neville” as the famous Jamie Carragher line goes. He may have had a point, with right-back not always considered the sexiest position on the field in days gone by.
