Gary Neville and Paul Scholes were teammates for 19 years at Manchester United.
Gary Neville has branded Paul Scholes a “little b******” for joining in with an infamous chant that mocked him and his brother Phil, while they were playing for the club.
The former United and England right-back revealed that he first heard the “if the Neville’s can play for England” chant at Craven Cottage.
Neville also took aim at Scholes as he recalled his team-mate had joined in with the Fulham fans while the team were warming up. Neville shared the story with a short video on social media.

“You see this stand here in the background there, that’s the first ever time that I heard the shout. There’s some bloke about 50-years-old with flat caps on, it was freezing and we were warming up,” he said.
“And they started singing ‘If the Neville’s can play for England, so can I. If the Neville’s can play for England, so can I. If the Neville’s can play for England, if the Neville’s can play for England’.
“And Scholesy was warming up with me and Phil, always did at right back down there in that corner, started singing along with them. Little b******.”
