FOOTBALLERS' LIVES: Gary Neville

08/11/2009

GARY NEVILLE is the latest Premier League player under the microscope in our feature Footballers' Lives.

The Manchester United captain always shows his passion and wear his heart on his sleeve when on the pitch, but what is he like away from the field?

Take a look at our run-down on some of the areas of the full-back's life.

CRIB

GARY was fuming when he heard cheeky builders working on his £6million Bradshaw complex placed a Liverpool flag under the tiles of his swimming pool. And just to prove his allegiance to his club he had his vast hedgerow shaped into the letters 'MUFC'.

GADGETS

THE Neville brothers couldn't be further apart when it comes to flashy gizmos. Everton star Phil has the new white Blackberry Curve while Gary has stuck with the same old reliable no-frills Nokia for years.

STYLE

DAVID BECKHAM may have been Gary's closest confidant during his United days but he kept his fashion secrets to himself. Neville sticks to a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and jumper.

BLING

BACK to basics here. You won't catch the United skipper in anything sparkly but he loves his classically styled Rolex Daytona watch so much he rarely takes it off.

WHEELS

NO room for Range Rovers and Bentleys in Neville's garage. Eco warrior Neville drives his family around in in an emission-friendly Toyota Prius.

Gary is a wonderful person we love here in Malta.He's been coming to our island with his family,and many other MUFC players for many years.
His fighting spirit and love for the club are second to none. Good luck for the future and hope to see you soon in Malta.

He sounds like a penny pinching bag of fun ;-) Only kidding....I think he's quite amusing really, and that's coming from an LUFC fan
