Neviller gets some Payback
Manchester United footballer Gary Neville has fallen victim to two prankster builders who created a shrine to Liverpool FC under his swimming pool.
Liverpudlian brothers Brian and Gary Greer buried a Liverpool scarf and a copy of Kop, the club's fanzine, and a match programme, in a plastic tube when they worked on the England defender's pool.
"While we were there we created a Scouse time capsule under the pool and tiled over the top of it," Brian Greer told The Sun newspaper.
"When his house is dug up in the future, archaeologists will see what a passion he had for the Red men."
The millionaire footballer has spent years renovating his 12-bedroom farmhouse near Bolton.
His dislike of Liverpool FC was only too evident when he celebrated a goal against them too enthusiastically by running the length of the pitch and was fined £5,000 by the Football Association.
Another story has it that angry Liverpool fans tried to overturn his car after spotting him stuck in match traffic in Salford Quays, a mile or so from Manchester United's Old Trafford grounds.
A Manchester United source told the Sun: "Gary is United through and through. He might not like the idea of swimming over a Liverpool shrine."
Another added:
"He's aware of this. To say he is less than pleased is an understatement."
