Giving this another spin, in case people haven't come across his story.

🔴 Gary Neville: "For 89 minutes, the travelling Liverpool fans had been singing unprintable songs about me and my mum.
So in the 90th minute, Giggsy was standing over the ball, and all I remember was him bending it into the box, Rio Ferdinand rising up and the ball hitting the back of the net. The place exploded. The rest was just instinct.
I turned toward the Liverpool fans in the far corner of the ground and I thought, I’m going for them.
I sprinted some 60-odd yards, and I was just out of my head. When I got to them, well…
I looked at the faces of all those fans who had been singing, and in that moment, they had no answer. Absolutely no answer. It was one of the best feelings of my life.
The FA fined me £5,000 for my actions. I'd gladly pay it again a hundred times.
Back then, I remember some very serious people saying things like, 'That's not the behaviour of a 30-year-old man.'
They were right. And that's what makes football so magical. For 90 minutes, you get to be a kid again. That's what we all dreamed about, isn't it?"
