    Never noticed before, but now you’ve mentioned it I can’t help notice how this commentator does it pretty much every time for Bannan. And now it’s really pissing me off!

    I see your Phil Neville and give you the dad of Phil, Gary and Tracey (the one with the most international caps), that oh so well known footballer, Neville Neville

    It wasn't just the commentators though. The supporters even had a song about him. It went to the tune of "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie

    Neville Neville, they're in defence
    Neville Neville, their future's immense
    Neville Neville, they ain't half bad
    Neville Neville, the name of their dad

    Neville Neville your future's immense
    Neville Neville you play in defence
    Neville Neville you ain't half bad
    Neville Neville is the name of your dad
