Manchester United icon, David Beckham has reacted to Nottingham Forest’s decision to ban Gary Neville’s ban from their stadium for their final league game against Chelsea on Sunday.
Beckham said his former Manchester United teammate’s ban from commentary duty at the City Ground was linked to the Red Devils’ win over Forest in 1999.
Nottingham banned the Red Devils legend, who is now a pundit and commentator, from entering the City Ground as the co-commentator for Sky Sports on Sunday.
Reacting on Instagram, his former teammate, Beckham said via The Sun UK, “Must of been something to do with that 7-1 game back in the day”
Back in February 1999, the Red Devils beat Nottingham Forest 7-1, with both Beckham and Neville featuring in that game.
Hence, Beckham’s cheeky dig at Forest’s decision to ban his former teammate from commentary duties.
However, Neville’s ban cannot be unconnected to his criticism of Forest’s owner in their 2-2 draw against Leicester City on May 11.
Neville has, however, said he has no choice than to stay away from the City Ground on Sunday.
