During a recent interview on The Overlap US, Gary Neville, a former Manchester United player, shared his thoughts on getting a tattoo for the first time. However, his idea was quickly met with some teasing from his brother, Phil Neville, and Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher. It all started when Phil revealed that he had gotten a tattoo to commemorate Manchester United's iconic treble-winning season in 1999.
As a family, the Neville's had always been against tattoos, but Phil couldn't resist the temptation when he met a tattoo artist at David Beckham's Miami apartment. He explained, "The best time of my career was 1999, without a doubt. That was the best time of my life." Phil's tattoo read "1999" on his arm, and it took him a whole year to finally tell his mom about it. Of course, he also kept it a secret from his brother, Gary.
When Gary saw his brother's tattoo, he was visibly shocked. The panel then asked him if he would ever consider getting one himself. Gary replied, "I haven't got any tattoos. Do you think I should go and get one?" He then went on to explain his idea of getting a lion on one shoulder and a devil on the other, representing England and Manchester United, respectively.
Meanwhile, Phil couldn't help but laugh at his brother's suggestion. "Oh no, that's cheap," he said jokingly. Gary, feeling slightly offended, asked, "Is it more cheap than having a number on my arm?" However, Jamie Carragher quickly jumped in and said, "Phil's is better. It's more understated." It seemed like the brothers were having a lighthearted banter about their different tattoo choices.
The Neville brothers were part of the legendary Manchester United team that achieved a historic treble in 1999, a feat that was not replicated until Manchester City did it in 2023. However, in recent years, Manchester United has not been able to reach the same level of success, with their last Premier League title win dating back to 2013 under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite the teasing from his brother and Carragher, Gary's idea for a tattoo remains just that - an idea. It seems like he might stick to his original plan of not getting any ink. But who knows, maybe one day he'll change his mind and join his brother in commemorating Manchester United's unforgettable 1999 season with a tattoo.
