MAN United hero Gary Neville has been outed as a secret Scouser — after years of openly admitting he hates Liverpool.The former Red Devil once famously remarked: "I can't stand Liverpool, I can't stand the people, I can't stand anything to do with them."
But now genealogists have discovered that Neville is descended from at least two Liverpudlians.
His great, great, great grandparents were born in the city.
The Sky Sports pundit, 36, was shocked to be told the news on panel show A League Of Their Own by host James Corden.
In the episode shown tonight at 10pm on Sky 1, viewers will see him hold his head in his hands and shout "F***".
Producers had asked ancestry experts to trace his family back in time for a Who Do You Think You Are style segment called Who Are Yer?
After the revelation Neville refused to hold a Liverpool shirt with his name on the back.
The defender took pleasure in goading Liverpool players and fans throughout his career.
In 2006 he was fined £5,000 for a wild celebration in front of the travelling Kop crowd at Old Trafford after a last-minute goal.
