      He joined Sky Sports ahead of the following season, replacing Andy Gray as their top analyst.
      Neville has gone on to become one of the most influential voices in British punditry and regularly co-commentates on Sky’s biggest Premier League matches.
      His former colleague Shreeves claims to have brought the former right-back to the broadcaster.
      Speaking to Lucky Block, Shreeves said: “Gary always credits me for taking him to Sky.

      “It was part of my role in the old days because I wasn’t just a reporter. So the public can either thank me or blame me. Some people will be on either side of the fence there.
      “Honestly, he’s a force of nature. I don’t know anybody like him.”
      Neville engages in plenty of ventures outside of his Sky Sports punditry.
      He launched GG Hospitality alongside Ryan Giggs in 2013.

      Neville has coached with England and Valencia, while earlier this year he joined Dragons Den.
      On his former colleague’s work ethic, Shreeves added: “I honestly don’t think he actually goes to sleep at night. He reboots like a computer.
      “He doesn’t understand holidays, does he? Or weekends, he’s just constantly on it.
      “He is relentless and I often get a text or an email from him at four in the morning.”
      Shreeves joined Sky Sports upon its launch in 1992 but left last year after more than 30 years of service amid the broadcaster’s cost-cutting efforts.
      He was reportedly offered a new contract on reduced terms, but opted to leave the company last June.

      His Golden Boot exploits at the 1986 World Cup for England earned him a dream move to Barcelona, where he achieved cult hero status with an El Clasico hat-trick against bitter rivals Real Madrid.
      Lineker, who helped the Three Lions to reach the semi-final of Italia ‘90, returned to Tottenham in 1989 and won the FA Cup.
      He finished his playing days with a two-year spell in Japan at Grampus Eight before returning to these shores and working as a pundit.
      And after impressing on Match of the Day, Lineker was made host of the long-running hit BBC show in 1999 as he replaced Des Lynham, and he’s had the job ever since.

      During an appearance on The Rest is Football podcast alongside Alan Shearer, they were asked to name a five-a-side team out of the pundits they have or currently work with.
      And Lineker opted for a brilliant side of legendary names who now start on BBC Sport, Sky Sports and TNT Sports when naming his.
      Speaking to Newcastle’s all-time top scorer Shearer, he began with: “You’d definitely be in my five-a-side, Alan.
      “I’d have Thierry Henry, who we’ve worked with many times of course in World Cups and hopefully the Euros.”

      But Lineker then seemingly opted for a defender instead of the now Sky Sports pundit Keane – and Shearer was quick to state that he would not argue with his choice.
      “Rio Ferdinand – defender,” he said.
      And then after Manchester United icon Peter Schmeichel and ex-Newcastle stopper Shay Given were both touted to be keepers, it was the Great Dane that Lineker picked as he said he had “just edged it”. More

      Enzo Fernandez then wrapped up the three points with the last kick of the game – but it was his team-mate who stole the show in a more advanced role in the Chelsea side.
      Gallagher spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Crystal Palace and since leaving the club, he has come back to haunt his former employers.
      The 24-year-old has won all of his four games against the Eagles and scored three goals against them.
      On his record against Palace, Gallagher said on Sky Sports: “I do love them that’s the thing, it’s sad, but you can’t beat that feeling [of scoring].

      “So I’m sorry Palace fans.”
      On his versatility, Gallagher said: “I have played in a number of positions this season.
      “Holding midfield, box-to-box, No10 and even up front – but I’m happy to play anywhere for the manager.”
      And he is greatly appreciated by Mauricio Pochettino, who referred to him as “priceless”.

      He named Lampard and John Terry as two of Chelsea’s most important players ever and said Jose Mourinho was his favourite manager.
      Cech also questioned Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s tactic to have his keepers sit deep in their box.

      He said: “In this position, in my liking, he’s too deep. That’s the philosophy you (the manager) have.
      “Generally there are two philosophies in goalkeeping. Whether you want to take a more advanced position for shots, you close the gap, the angle, the goal, but you have less reaction time.
      “Or you drop deep on the goal line, therefore you might have a little more time for a save but you open the goal 
      “Pochettino’s goalkeeper coach has been with him from Tottenham, he has the philosophy of ‘OK you drop back, you always create space’.
      “I think it’s the Spanish philosophy. I personally am the other way around. In a lot of situations to closing the angle and having less reaction time but having less space to cover, for me, is the advantage.” More
