Gary Neville reveals hilarious story about how fan chant mocking him started with Man Utd pal Paul Scholes singing along

GARY NEVILLE has revealed the hilarious story of how Paul Scholes got involved with a chant mocking him.

The pair spent several years playing together at Manchester United and have now both gone on to have successful punditry careers after brief and ill-fated stints as manager.

Returning to the Cottage brought back memories for NevillePaul Scholes is a pundit on BT SportsNeville was stationed at Craven Cottage yesterday for his co-commentary role with Sky Sports.

He watched rising star Alejandro Garnacho rescue United with a dramatic stoppage time winner.

And before the game the London ground brought back some memories for the ex-right back.

He remembered back to his playing days as he and Scholes warmed up for United before a game away at Fulham.

And he recalled Fulham fans doing a rendition of a song about him and his brother Phil.

Neville told Twitter followers on video: “You see this stand here in the background?

“That’s the first ever time that I heard the shout. There’s some blokes about, about 50-odd year old, with flat caps.

“It was freezing and we were warming up and they started signing: ‘If the Nevilles can play for England, so can I. If the Nevilles can play for England, so can I...”;

Neville then mentions how teammate Scholes got involved.

He added: “Scholesy was warming up by me and Phil, always did at right back down there in that corner.

“[And then Scholes] started signing along with them. Little b*****d.”;

Both Neville and Scholes are part of the group of superb youth players who emerged at Manchester United in the early 90s.

Under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, the “Class of 92”; went on to form the spine of United’s team for much of the next decade.

Those glory days are far cry from modern Man United, which is currently engaged in a public civil war after an explosive Cristiano Ronaldo interview.

His chat with Piers Morgan overshadowed the Red Devils coming from behind at Fulham to scrape victory.

The win leaves them three points off fourth-placed Tottenham and four points off third-place, in-form Newcastle.
