Known for his whole-hearted commitment and dedication as a player, the older Neville brother has taken that approach to his life post retirement.

While he has an equal stake with his fellow Class of 92 members in Salford City, he has been the true driving force behind the transformation of the club that has seen them win three successive promotions, putting them on the brink of becoming a Football League club for the first time.

However his coaching career hasn't been as successful as he would have hoped. He was part of Roy Hodgson's coaching staff during his time as England manager, and though they reached the quarter finals of Euro 2012, they flopped spectacularly at both the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.

He also had a short spell in charge of Valencia after being appointed by Peter Lim, who owns the majority stake in Salford City. However he lasted only four months, winning just 10 of his 28 games in charge, and was sacked with Valencia just six points clear of the relegation zone and having failed to keep a clean sheet during his time as manager.

The biggest success story of his post-playing days has been his work as a pundit at Sky Sports, and he is now regarded as one of the best in the business.
