Gary Neville knew his Manchester United career was ending as he sat in the toilet at half time, during a clash with West Brom. Neville revealed that he knew his performance on New Years day, 2011 was sub par and felt ashamed at how he was playing for the first time in his career. Below is an except from a pretty blunt/honest article featured in the Daily Mail:
And I couldn’t wait for it to be over. In the dressing room, the manager was barking instructions about how we were going to improve on a dire first-half performance against West Brom. But I just wanted to get home, to disappear. In the sanctuary of the toilet, my mind was elsewhere. I’d been really poor in the first half, but that hadn’t stopped the fans singing my name.
‘Gary Neville is a Red, is a Red…’ For the first time in my life I’d been embarrassed to hear it. Don’t sing that. I don’t deserve it. Maybe in the past, but not today.
