Gary Neville has opened up about his health after recently collapsing, which he believes is his body telling him to slow down.
The ex-Manchester United right-back was working as a pundit during Euro 2021 and revealed on The Diary Of A CEO podcast he suffered a fit during England’s match against Germany.
Speaking to host Steven Barlett, Neville recalled: “Raheem Sterling scored the goal in the European Championships against Germany a year and a half ago and I basically collapsed to the floor and had a fit.”

He added: “And after that, I went to the hospital, I had checks and found out I need to slow down a little bit, basically.
“It is similar things to what my dad was told in his 40s, that ultimately I do too much. I think too much, I need to relax more.
“To be fair, my wife says it a lot, ‘You’re here but you’re not present’. I was doing an interview the other day with Geoff Shreeves, Geoff’s known me 15-20 years.

Neville owns both Salford City Football club and Hotel Football with a number of his ex-teammates.
He also revamped the Stock Exchange hotel in Manchester, as well as setting up the University Acadamy 92.
Neville admitted to Barlett that he has tried to make changes to his life, but is struggling to adapt to them.

He said: “I have [made changes] but then it is the actual sustaining of the changes and not dipping back into your old habits. That is the problem. So what do I do? I train four to five times a week.
“I have a sleep ring, it focuses me on the time I need to sleep at night. But I don’t always wear it. It’s in my bag, I didn’t wear it last night and I am annoyed at myself because I didn’t wear it.
“Habits, you drift back into your old habits. I try not to pick up my phone when I first wake up but I am failing miserably at that.”
