Gary Neville saves Mother’s Day for family with ‘amazing’ gesture for disabled mum

Manchester United legend Gary Neville saved Mother’s Day for a family after spotting their disabled mum struggling to walk.

Samantha Ward, from Irlam, was meeting her mum, Ann Knowles, 67, along with the rest of her family at Fazenda in the city centre for a meal out. However, with limited parking spaces outside the front of the steak restaurant, Ann, her husband Phil, 69, and Samantha’s daughter, Jessica, 19, had to park further away.

In a difficult journey over, Ann was visibly struggling to walk. She usually uses a wheelchair after suffering from a brain haemorrhage last year, but had left it at home as she thought her family would be able to park outside.
