Residents living alongside former Manchester United star Gary Neville have voiced their outrage following his controversial comments about the "angry middle-aged white men" in their community. The working-class locals in Bolton claim they feel betrayed by their famous neighbour's characterisation of them.
Neighbourhood Tensions Boil Over
Homeowners on the same street as the football pundit's £4 million mansion have expressed deep frustration, arguing that Neville has misrepresented the very community he chose to live among. Many long-term residents feel particularly stung by what they perceive as dismissive remarks from the Sky Sports commentator.
The Comments That Sparked Fury
The controversy erupted after Neville made sweeping statements about "angry middle-aged white men" during a public discussion. Local residents, some of whom have lived in the area for decades, argue that these comments unfairly stereotype hard-working people who take pride in their community.
A Community Divided
Several neighbours have spoken out about the disconnect they feel between Neville's public persona and his private life. "He's got a big mouth," one resident remarked, capturing the sentiment of many who believe the football legend has overlooked the genuine concerns of ordinary people in favour of broad political statements.
From Football Hero to Controversial Figure
Once celebrated primarily for his football achievements and punditry, Neville has increasingly become known for his outspoken political and social views. This latest incident highlights the growing tension between his celebrity status and his relationship with the local community that surrounds his luxury home.
