He admitted that he was known for winding up opponents during his playing days, but drew the line at screaming in a player’s face.

“I don’t like it. I think it’s a bit disrespectful,” Neville said on his podcast.

He continued, “I know Haaland is the pantomime villain here today, but there was something about it I didn’t like.”
