- One-club man. Gary Neville devoted all his career at Manchester United. Old Trafford enjoyed him for 19 years and 602 matches, a record which has even more clout when you consider that the legendary right fullback is part of the select group of 'one-club men'. He debuted in 1992 and hung up his boots in February 2011.

- Family of athletes. Sport nursed Gary Neville from birth. His father, Neville Neville, who died this year, was a professional cricket player and his little sister, Tracey Neville, is the national team coach of Netball. In addition, his mother represents the team of Bury as an executive in the FA.

- His brother, Phil Neville, was on his side in the ranks of United as a player and now joins him on Valencia´s bench, where he arrived last summer called by Nuno Espirito Santo.

- He lived the sweetest moment in the history of the Manchester club and lifted 31 official titles with the English team: 12 Premier League, 4 FA Cup, 8 Community Shield, 3 Football League Championship, 2 Champions League and 2 World Club Cup.

- Although this will be his first experience in front of a team, Neville knows already what it is to be on the bench. Since May 2012, he is the second coach of Roy Hodgson in the England team.

- Fan of Chinese food. Asian cuisine is one of his favorites. Therefore, it is easy to see him having a good time with friends in the Wings restaurant, one of the most popular in Manchester.

- In the last two years, he also has emerged as one of the most popular commentators in the UK. Gary Neville commented on the Premier League matchday in the popular program 'Monday Night Football' in SkySports, in which he shared table with another icon of the Premier: Jamie Carragher.
