Class of 90-loo! Neville brothers & Scholes embark on toilet paper challenge

Challenges involving toilet rolls have become frequent since Europe went into lockdown due to the coronavirus - but three well-renowned former Manchester United players tried their hand at the 'stay at home' activity.

The social media trend of doing several kick-ups with a toilet roll has become a popular activity, with the item hoarded by panic-buyers due to the coronavirus outbreak.

And Gary Neville and brother Phil, as well as former midfielder Paul Scholes, all joined the hype and participated in the Hotel Football Toilet Roll Challenge.

The trio are part of the famous Class of 92, which also includes David Beckham, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs, who all went on to create history with United.

Former right-back Gary Neville was first up and he appeared to manage more than 10 keepie-uppies, although there was some controversy with one of his touches coming off his chest rather than his foot.

Neville then nominated his former United and England team-mate Scholes to try his best.

Taking advantage of the glorious sunshine, he managed some nine touches before rifling the roll into the top corner of the goal in his garden, as he had done on a few occasions in his playing career.

Phil Neville was nominated by Scholes, and the England women's team coach was by far the most enthusiastic of the participating trio.

Neville was heard shouting 'go on' to himself on and he even made a playful jibe at his former teammate by exclaiming 'you watching Scholesy?'

However, the remark appeared to make Neville lose focus and soon after the toilet roll dropped to the floor

The challenge comes a few weeks after Gary Neville announced that staff at his Hotel Football and Stock Exchange hotels will not go out of pocket during the entirety of this global crisis - by ensuring that they will receive full pay as normal.

The 45-year-old also revealed that the properties will be made available free of charge to NHS workers.

Hotel Football, located near Old Trafford, and The Stock Exchange in the city centre are owned by Neville and fellow United icon Giggs through their GG Hospitality group.
