Ex-Man Utd star forced to sell first England cap and shirt after becoming delivery driver

Former Manchester United hero Neil Webb is selling his debut England shirt and cap for £15,000 to boost his retirement fund.

The midfielder, who also starred for Nottingham Forest, works as a delivery driver 26 years after retiring from the game. The 59-year-old, who has also been a postman, lives with his wife of 25 years, Dawn, who works in a GP’s surgery.

While Neil, who played 26 times for England, admits that he made good money during the height of his footballing career, it was a world away from the millions of pounds Premier League players earn today. Casemiro, who plays in the same midfield position as Neil did for United, is reputed to earn £350,000 a week.
