Manchester United legend, David Beckham got his lifetime contract with Adidas through me, Gary Neville has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he gave Beckham his first pair of Predators in the USA in 1994, and it is sad to see how he does not get actual recognition for the role he played before the deal could happen.

Neville added that he might not be the flashy type, but that is not to say his influence isnt evident.
His words, “Do you know something? You know David Beckham is with adidas because of me. I gave him his first pair of Predators in the USA in 1994. And that is a true story my friends at adidas. I don’t get the actual recognition I deserve for that!”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.

Whhen I signed Daavid Beckham to wear adidas Predator boots no mention of Gary Neville was made. I worked for adidas from 1989 – 1999 and signed David Beckham, Paul Gascoigne, John Collins, Teddy Sheringham, Les Ferdinand, Grame Le Saux and Paul Ince among many more.
