Manchester United legend Gary Neville has revealed he would have liked to have been a sports journalist had his playing career not worked out.
Neville made his first-team debut for United in 1992 and spent his entire career at Old Trafford before retiring in 2011. After retiring, he immediately joined Sky Sports as a pundit and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business.
As a result, it is no surprise Neville chose sports journalism when asked about his 'untaken career path' in an interview with the Guardian. "A sports journalist but I'd have to go back to school and do English again," Neville said. "Look at my grammar on Twitter. One thing I'll never be accused of is having someone ghostwrite my tweets – there's that many spelling mistakes!"
