Neville Neville - Comical Name

Comical Name

Neville has achieved somewhat of a cult status among football fans, not least because of his unusual name but also because of his raucous partying with the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the England players that took place in Germany at the 2006 World Cup. Neville stood on a couch at a local restaurant and bar and proceeded to lead the WAGs in singing the national anthem and smashing their champagne glasses.

His name is part of what has been called "one of the best chants in football":

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

(Sung to the tune of David Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel')
