Gary Neville and David Beckham shared a hotel room for six months on Manchester United away days when they first broke into the team, and it was apparently quite a strain for both of them.
While they linked up well together down United's right flank, Neville told Sky Sports they were 'incompatible' when sharing a living area.
'I roomed with David Beckham for about six months and then the whole rooming with players completely stopped because everybody went into their own individual rooms,' he said.
'I think they worked out that players weren't compatible with each other and that each went to bed at different times.
'I had two big problems with Becks, well, he had with me!
'I used to go to bed at 9pm and wake up at 5am, he would stay up until 11pm and want to wake up at 8am, so essentially he was keeping me up from 9 until 11 and then I was getting him up at 5 in the morning, so it just wasn't working at all.'
A lack of sleep wasn't the only problem between the pair, as their views on tidiness and quiet time also differed.
'He is the cleanest person. He gets into his room, he lights candles, he puts pictures up – everything has to be absolutely perfect, it's been the same since he was 18.
'I just throw everything everywhere, so it just did not work at all.
'I'm always talking, always arguing and he was the complete opposite of that. He would listen to music, he would want peace, he would want to be chilled and it's just the complete opposite end of the spectrum of where I was at.'
Neville and Beckham spent 11 years together at Manchester United after coming up through the academy together, before the latter eventually left for Real Madrid in 2003.
Alongside a number of other of their Class of '92 team-mates, they now hold 10 per cent stakes in Salford City FC.
