Gary Neville admits he took the rare step of turning to the bottle after Sir Alex Ferguson hooked him in a Manchester derby, which he likened to a "public humiliation".
The Manchester United stalwart captained his boyhood club for the first time in 2002 with Roy Keane absent and was looking to preserve his unbeaten record in derbies. In the end United lost against Manchester City in what would be their final clash at Maine Road.
City enjoyed a 3-1 victory in front of their own fans with Neville making a high profile error to gift Shaun Goater with a chance that put the hosts 2-1 ahead. As if knowing he'd made a mistake wasn't enough, Ferguson wanted to make a point and sent Neville back out after the interval, only to bring him off later in the half.
