Since the start of the 2011/12 season, the Manchester United legend has been a revelation in the world of football punditry, using his wealth of experience on the field to deliver expert analysis, insight and chatter to Sky Sports thousands of viewers. As well as his obvious expertise regarding all things football, Gary Neville has shown he isnt afraid to make his opinions known regardless of whether or not it ruffles a few feathers. It should come as no surprise that the appointment of such a venerable figure in the footballing world to Englands coaching staff on May 14th 2012 should have inspired so much confidence. He may have been part of Englands disappointing Euro 2012 campaign, but the ex-England right-back has now had plenty of time to work his influence on the squad. With such a youthful team competing in Brazil, Gary Neville and his 85-England caps will be of vital importance this World Cup particularly as many of the players may now have a new-found respect for him after listening to his insight every weekend on television.
