Gary Neville throws first pitch at Chicago White Sox game

WATCH: What the Manchester United legend gets up to on his summer holidays – missing wildly.

He retired from football officially at the end of the season but if Gary Neville is looking for a new day job, baseball is not it.

The Old Trafford favourite took the honours of throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the game between the White Sox and Oakland Athletics at US Cellular Field in Chicago last night.

He won’t be doing it again.

    I was in the Canel End that day and I remember believing that Dublin we’re going to win when that went over the bar. What a moment and day that was!

    @Ned Flanders: Was it better than your big day when you married Maude?

    @Flembomb: that’s a tough one because Maude was the best sportsperson to ever have come out of Waterford ;)

    Such an underrated score, could have recycled it and just went for it. That day will never be beaten

    Never noticed before but Kevin Mac hopped the ball twice on 67 minutes 45 metres from his own goal. A tap over for Sheehan. It was 1-10 each at the time…..
