A politician believes that Liverpudlian youngsters can learn a thing or two from Gary Neville.For Liverpool youngsters who harbour an unswerving allegiance to the red side of the Mersey, the news that their hated north-west rivals' captain - Gary Neville - is to be treated as a potential role-model will come as a sour recommendation.
A Conservative MP, Chris Grayling - the Shadow Home Secretary - committed the Malapropism by declaring that Neville's professionalism is an attribute that kids from the streets of Toxteth can learn from.
Grayling - born in London and raised and educated in Buckinghamshire - is quoted by The Times as saying, "I have spent time on the streets of Toxteth with some very good youth workers, who told me that kids are growing up without any parental guidance at home.
"If I was to pick out a good role model, it would be Gary Neville, an estimable professional over a long period of time," he concluded.
The news will no doubt be looked on with scorn by young Liverpool fans, who will be reminded by their elders of Neville's stinging comments about their city's people.
"I can't stand Liverpool. I can't stand Liverpool people, I can't stand anything to do with them," he is reported to have said.
