Everybody, the lads used to

walk past me going... (BUZZING)

GARY:
I grew up in Bury.

Lived in a terraced house opposite a park.

All I remember about being a kid

is playing football,

playing cricket at the cricket club.

And massively about

my dad taking me to United as a kid.

I always remember the first time I went

and I was absolutely mesmerised.

You always thought

next year will be our year.

"We'll win the league. We'll

win the league." We never did.

All I ever wanted to be

was a football player.

And the only club I ever wanted

to play at was United.

And Gary was one of them lads that

when you know him, you love him to death,

he's a great lad, everyone likes him.

And when you don't know him he has

this persona of not being a nice person.

I couldn't stand his

guts when I was younger.

And all I wanted to do was kick him

whenever I played against his local team.

Gary Neville was nowhere near as talented

technically as the other boys.

And he won't mind me saying that.

I always felt as though I had to work

extra all the time.

And just live and eat better

than anybody else.

I've given up on it a little bit now.

I made a conscious decision at 16,

when I left school,

that I couldn't continue to see the friends

that I had been friends at school with,

because I knew full well

I would get drawn into doing things

that 16 to 18-year-old lads did,

and I couldn't do it.

I couldn't do it. I

couldn't have any regrets.

And he wanted to make himself a player.

I didn't make him a player,

he made himself a player.

Eric Harrison was a massive influence

on me. He was just what I needed.

Took absolutely no (BLEEP).

They, probably

the young boys will tell you,

but at the window, I don't know

how that window ever survived.

He would be upstairs at The Cliff

and somebody

would make a mistake and he'd be...

He'd batter on the window

and they wouldn't look up!

They'd be dead scared to look up.

But if they didn't see him at the window,

they knew he was on the way down.

It was funny, it was...

And I'd be in my next door

and I could hear the window battering

and I would shake my head

and kill myself laughing...

I said, "God help them

when they come in at half-time!"

I remember my wife watching me one day,

because we were going to...

She wanted to go to the Trafford Centre

after a training session.

I got in the car, and she was sat in the

car, she said, "You're a disgrace."

I said, "What do you mean?"

She said, "You wouldn't do that

to your children, would you?"

Eric has grounded them people, and he's put

into 'em morals and "treat people right".

I think that if you're looking at Becks,

probably one of the biggest
