‘It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. The Class of ’92 were born out of people believing in, teaching and mentoring us, showing us the right standards’ Gary Neville on how his own university is helping the next generation

Gary Neville.

A few months after his 50th birthday, Gary Neville is in no danger of slowing down. Player, coach, manager, pundit, co-commentator, club owner, hotel and cafe owner, independent regulator backer, Labour supporter, even part-time Dragon, the former Manchester United defender hasn’t been short of jobs over the decades. Every single thing he does, he approaches with the same passion.

“That’s my whole life, I only do things I’m really passionate about,” he tells FourFourTwo with typical verve. “I haven’t got time to be doing things that I don’t feel a thrill from, that great enthusiasm to wake up in the morning.”
