Gary Neville is a man on a mission. We see him on Sky Sports, see his Overlap videos, hear his podcasts, read about his business dealings. We can stay in one of the hotels he part owns, eat and drink in Cafe Football. We can watch his Salford City team play football in League Two. We can even watch a skyscraper he’s behind going up amid Manchester’s myriad other towers, or study at his University Academy 92 near Old Trafford cricket ground.
