5 footballers who were good cricket players

3. Phil Neville

Phil Neville with his advice for the English women’s cricket team

Neville Jr. probably had bigger chance of making it big as a cricketer, than his elder brother. When he was 15, he was good enough to play for the Lancashire second XI, and he also captained the England U15 side. Among the ones he captained was a certain Andrew Flintoff. But, like his elder brother, he too decided to plunge into the footballing world, and his career was a pretty successful one, with both Manchester United and Everton. He is presently a part of David Moyes’s coaching staff at Old Trafford.
