The Neviller's Mobile Number

Kids! They can be a bunch of pranksters can't they, as Manchester United footballer Gary Neville found out recently when his mobile phone number (07791432546 - Probably has been changed now) was circulated around the pupils of a school in Bristol.

It seems the students made free with this knowledge and gave Neville something of a hard time.

One student, called John and sounding posher than a silver service supper at the Ritz, rang Neville and had the presence of mind to record the conversation with the foul-mouthed England 'star' (which has never sounded a fitting description for a man who is best known for the fact his dad's name is Neville Neville).

He then posted the recording on the internet. (You can listen to it here but be warned the language would make a docker blush.)

"Tell me who the fuck's got my number and I'll let you off," said the player, offering John the chance for some plea bargaining.

"You better find out or I'll give your number to the police," he added, to which John replied: "I'm being told now... Tony Adams' son."

"Who the fuck is Tony Adams?" demanded Neville, only to be told: "He used to play for Arsenal."

To which Neville, the wit, replied: "Shut up you fucking dick."

Now the Round-Up doesn't know whether Tony Adams really does have a son or whether he really attends a school in Bristol but then nor does Neville, it would appear.

Perhaps the England defender was embarrassed to have forgotten the name of a player he lined up alongside on dozens of occasions while inexplicably representing his country. Dopey cunt.
