Is it just me, but someone like Gary Neville has become so famous and ever present since retirement, that it’s weird to remember that he even played the game in the first place.
Nev had a great career but he was such a boring personality and so quiet during his playing career that it was easy to forget he was even there during his Man U and England greatness. But post-retirement, the guy is everywhere, literally everywhere. 1 in 4 of my YouTube recommendations will be the overlap, him interviewing some icon of the game or a MNF highlight. I guess it’s odd to say because Nev had an amazing career but his media career has eclipsed so much of his playing career that it’s even weird to remember that he once played the game.
Maybe it’s just me… do you ever get this with anyone?
