Neville set to join FC
Stuart Brennan24/ 7/2008
THEY have had Ryan Giggs’s brother, Charlie Mitten’s great-nephew and have already signed the son of Remi Moses for the new season - and now FC United have snapped up a Neville!
Unlike the other three, midfielder Dave Neville has no family connections to famous Manchester United players, but turned out for the Rebels in Tuesday’s friendly at Altrincham, and is set to feature again in Saturday’s pre-season game at Tamworth.
And coach Darren Lyons reckons 22-year-old Middleton lad Neville could be the “steal of the season” if FC can improve his fitness.
“There are players out there who are talented enough but can be a bit lazy, and Dave falls into that bracket,” says Lyons, who used to play alongside Neville for top Sunday league outfit Langley Celtic.
“He was on Oldham’s books as a kid, but had a few problems when his mum fell ill, and ended up falling out with football. he drifted to Oldham Town and had a brief spell at Bangor City in the League of Wales, but ended up just turning out on a Sunday.
“We were after him last season but he broke his arm – but this season we signed Tunji Moses who is a mate of his, and the two of them travel to training together.
“He showed his potential against Altrincham, but needs to get fit. He is a big, strong lad, six ft one and 13 stone, but he is mobile and has two great feet.”
The Rebels will also give another run out to triallists Dave Roberts and Michael Burns.

I think I will be going to the Wednesday night game at Curzon. If it is anything like the cup final it should be a top night out. Up the Red.

CAR PARKING. A parking charge of £2.00 per car will be made but parking for disabled spectators will be free, provided that their parking badge is clearly displayed. There are six disabled parking spaces immediately outside the ground and the appropriate badge must be displayed if these bays are to be occupied. Limited parking is available adjacent to the ground and there is also parking at the top of the access road. There is free car parking on the industrial estate on Lord Sheldon Way which is a 10 minute walk from the ground. All spectators using the parking facilities near to the ground are requested to co-operate with the car parking attendants.
The club wish it to be known that parking is entirely at the risk of the vehicle owner and the club accepts no liability for any loss of, or damage to, any motor vehicle or its property howsoever caused.
