Neville Neville (26 September 1949 – 7 August 2015) was a British league cricketer, football agent and director. His sons are the former professional association football players Gary Neville and Phil Neville and his daughter is the netball player and coach Tracey Neville.
Neville played cricket for Greenmount Cricket Club in the Bolton Cricket League during the 1980s. His daughter Tracey cites this as her earliest sporting memory.
Neville and his wife, Jill, the general manager and Club Secretary of English Football League club Bury, had three children: Gary and twins Tracey and Phil.
Neville was the agent for his two sons. The elder Neville represented the two younger Nevilles during contract talks with their respective clubs. After Euro 2004, Neville negotiated with executive David Gill of Manchester United.
When his eldest son Gary decided to postpone any testimonial match until his playing career was over, Neville stated that "In this day and age when players earn such fantastic amounts of money we think it would be better to create some kind of facility for the supporters."
Neville was a director of club Bury of the English Football League. He was the spearhead and vice-chairman of the "save our shakers" appeal which was a bid to give financial assistance to the struggling football club after it had gone into administration.
