West Bromwich Albion signing Darren Fletcher is drawing inspiration from Phil Neville after leaving Manchester United.
Neville went onto captain Everton after leaving United.
"Phil Neville is the example of that. That is something I would like to repeat here at West Brom. Having my career at Manchester United and achieving great success there, now I want to have success here, whatever you may judge that to be," said Fletcher.
"I just hope I have a number of years doing this and I can create a legacy at my new club.
"When I was fighting on those lone, dark days, the goal was that I was a young man and had worked all my life to be a professional football player and I didn't want to give up on that too early.
"My kids [Jack and Tyler, 7] were still relatively young and they hadn't see me play that much. Those things were driving me on. All the times before I got ill, they were maybe too young to realise things.
"When they did start to realise I was a footballer, I was ill and struggling and they couldn't get their head around that.
"Now I've come back and this season they have seen me play. But they will be big West Brom fans now!"
