Gary Neville forced to autograph match ticket from Liverpool’s 5-0 win at Old Trafford after losing bet
Gary Neville has been forced to relive one of Manchester United’s darkest days having lost a bet with a colleague. The Red Devils legend was in the stands at Old Trafford in October 2021 to watch bitter rivals Liverpool romp to a 5-0 win. Liverpool inflicted their biggest win over United at Old Trafford in 2021AFP Jurgen Klopp‘s side went into the break leading 4-0 thanks to goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota, before Mohamed Salah helped himself to a double. And the Egyptian winger completed his hat-trick just five minutes into the second half – becoming the first Liverpool player since Fred Howe in 1936 to bang in a treble at the Theatre of Dreams. He was also the first opposing player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford since Ronaldo’s heroics for Real Madrid in the Champions League in April 2003. The Premier League loss to Liverpool four years ago remains United‘s worst against the Merseyside outfit on home soil. And unfortunately for Neville, he had to be reminded of the devastating defeat – by signing a Liverpool fan’s match ticket of the affair. What bet did Gary Neville lose? During the recent episode of Stick to Football, Neville and production manager Kiaran Saunders decided to put a wager on over a bowl of cookies. Getting to the studio first, Neville was blown away by the cookies that were on offer for the panel. Choosing not to indulge in them himself, the duo then predicted who would eat the cookie first, with Neville choosing ex-teammate Roy Keane, while Kiaran opted for Reds icon Jamie Carragher. Sticking with a United-Liverpool theme, the former defender agreed to sign Kiaran’s match ticket from the infamous 5-0 clash. As for Kiaran, he was willing to sing the Red Devils’ 1983 FA Cup final song – and now classic anthem ‘ ‘Glory Glory Man United’ down the camera. Neville and Kiaran predicted that Keane and Carragher would eat the cookie firstStick to Football The United great wasn’t best pleased after the Liverpool icon grabbed it first And it was Kiaran that chose wisely, with Carragher quick to pick up the snack, before breaking a portion off and dipping it into his drink. Neville failed to hide his woe as he looked over Carragher’s shoulders, letting out squirms while grimacing. He then peered over to Kiaran, who was anxiously awaiting Carragher to take the first bite, before raising his fists in delight, yelling out a loud: “Get in!” His reaction drew Neville to slam his hands on the table, shouting, “F****** hell,’ leading a startled Ian Wright to ask him what is wrong. The panel then broke into laughter upon hearing the bet, with Neville then accusing his colleague of cheating. He said: “Oh you told him! You texted him to tell you and told him to pick it up, haven’t you? I know you.” Kiaran failed to hide his delight after winning the bet As for Neville, he was left furious Kiaran was quick to feign innocence, with Jill Scott declaring: “He told him outside!” But Carragher – and even Keane – coming to Kiaran’s defence, with the former United midfielder stating: “He’s [Carragher] been travelling. “I haven’t seen that [the cookie]. I just had a Twirl as well.” He then proceeded to say, ‘Jamie’s tired as well,’ with Kiaran pointing out that Keane always opts for a plain croissant.
