As a player, Gary Neville turned out more than 600 times for Manchester United and won 85 England caps, appearing at five major tournaments. But it feels like he’s on our TV screens more than ever these days. The 49-year-old was a pundit for ITV at Euro 2024 this summer and has been one of Sky Sports’ main co-commentators and pundits since hanging up his boots in 2011.
After working as England assistant manager under Roy Hodgson and an ill-fated two-month spell in charge of Spanish side Valencia, Neville moved away from coaching and has combined his TV work with a number of investments and ventures, both inside and outside of football. He's endorsed the prime minister and he's been on Dragon's Den . FourFourTwo takes a look at Neville’s various projects outside of his punditry work, including his latest job which saw him take to the stage at last weekend's Kendal Calling festival.

Salford City FC Neville’s most high-profile venture is his investment in League Two side Salford City FC. He purchased a stake in the club back in 2014 alongside his ‘Class of 92’ teammates Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and brother Phil, teaming up with businessman Peter Lim to complete a takeover of the club. Last week Neville became the majority shareholder when he acquired Lim’s stake in the club.
The club earned five promotions following the takeover, but have now stalled in League Two, where they have.
