GARY NEVILLE has revealed the hilarious story of how Paul Scholes got involved with a chant mocking him.
The pair spent several years playing together at Manchester United and have now both gone on to have successful punditry careers after brief and ill-fated stints as manager.
Neville was stationed at Craven Cottage yesterday for his co-commentary role with Sky Sports.
He watched rising star Alejandro Garnacho rescue United with a dramatic stoppage time winner.
And before the game the London ground brought back some memories for the ex-right back.
He remembered back to his playing days as he and Scholes warmed up for United before a game away at Fulham.
And he recalled Fulham fans doing a rendition of a song about him and his brother Phil.
Neville told Twitter followers on video: “You see this stand here in the background?
“That’s the first ever time that I heard the shout. There’s some blokes about, about 50-odd year old, with flat caps.
“It was freezing and we were warming up and they started signing: ‘If the Nevilles can play for England, so can I. If the Nevilles can play for England, so can I...”;

Neville then mentions how teammate Scholes got involved.
He added: “Scholesy was warming up by me and Phil, always did at right back down there in that corner.
“[And then Scholes] started signing along with them. Little b*****d.”;
Both Neville and Scholes are part of the group of superb youth players who emerged at Manchester United in the early 90s.
Under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson , the “Class of 92”; went on to form the spine of United’s team for much of the next decade.
Those glory days are far cry from modern Man United, which is currently engaged in a public civil war after an explosive Cristiano Ronaldo interview .
His chat with Piers Morgan overshadowed the Red Devils coming from behind at Fulham to scrape victory.
The win leaves them three points off fourth-placed Tottenham and four points off third-place, in-form Newcastle.
