Well, well, well. The former footballer and pundit Gary Neville has been spotted on the streets of Davos during the 2025 conference of the World Economic Forum. The ex-BBC presenter is not known to keep quiet about his views, with the former sports star keen to highlight his Labour membership and speaking up on British politics – without, most of the time, being asked.
But a rather baffling clip has emerged on Twitter, showing the usually-ebullient Neville refusing to take quite straightforward questions from a Canadian media outlet. The ex-footballer insisted he had ‘no comment on [Donald] Trump and [Elon] Musk and all of that’, said he hadn’t been ‘across’ the news of the new US president’s election victory and inauguration – and even suggested he wasn’t all that interested in American politics. How out of character – given how often Neville usually pops up to deliver his verdict on the issue of the day.
