Still in the game: Neville is Everton's captain

‘Those three days were a perfect learning experience. It also made me realise what a special thing being involved for your country was.’

Neville, 35, was mooted as a candidate to join Roy Hodgson’s staff for Euro 2012 but the role went to his brother, Gary, and the Everton captain insisted he was never in the running.

‘It was an honour to be linked but there was no approach,’ he said. ‘I am still a player. I think it would have been impossible for me to do it.’
